Man, I remember those days. I miss them. Joes and TFs everywhere, as far as the eye could see.

Too much iPod and Xbox... no need for children to use their imaginations anymore. Considering the quantities of 25th Toys put out there, maybe they really were intended for collectors... I remember the toy aisles like that in Tampa where I grew up. Oh, well... it's true that you can never truly go back home.

Thats the truth. Imagination takes to much effort now days. Thats why Ninteno makes loads of money. Action figures are a dying hobby. It's like model kits and hobby shops used to be a big thing. Now it's a dying trend. I also remember many dept. stores and toy stores in my area that are long gone now. All of them carried tons of toys and had loads of GI joe figures and vehicles back in the 80's.

Heck, I just wish they stocked the new stuff like they did back in the day. Can you imagine going to a TRU and finding 4 frontings of Ghost Hawks or Sting Raiders going back 3 or 4 deep on the shelf.

Has anyone ever dreamed of driving cross country. You get low on gas and stop in some little no name town. See a toy store across the street. You think, I might as well go see if they got anything worth while. You open the doors, a bright light hits you in the face. As the light dims so that you can see again, this is what you see. I have had this dream many a time. And as you try to grab everything in sight, you wake up. While laying there in bed, staring at the ceiling, a lonely tear runs down your cheak. Yes, this has happened to me. :(
I came close once when i was a kid. Driving across France with the folks in the summer of 89, we walked into a petrol station in the middle of nowhere. Spied a bunch of cheap toys on a shelf at the end and went to have a look out of morbid curiosity. Then out of the corner of my eye, i spied the logo. They had Zarana and Quick Kick. The clerk looked shocked that anybody actually wanted to buy them. |
