I agree it also makes me sad that my kids won't ever get to see the Greatest toy store.....Children's Palace. Even though a majority (seems like Everyone some days) on Hisstank hates on Toys R Us, I always try and take my kids there just so they can experience a real toy store

It's been seen before, but this looks like a good place to show it again, here's another old Joe asile.

I had the pleasure of working at Toys R Us during the heady toy wars of the 80's. Star Wars, Transformers, Go Bots, MOTU, GI JOE, Cabbage Patch Kids, Teddy Ruxpin. It was awesome. I got to wear the Skeletor costume at one of the store events. So much fun working there.
I never got to work Action Figures. I worked the Game Wall, and Sporting Goods (If you call Nerf Footballs and plastic hockey sticks sporting equipment). But I would stroll through the action figure aisle and it was just stacked with product from all of the big lines. I want to say GI Joe took up 16' of aisle space. I would unload the trucks when they arrived and there was almost always cases of Joe stuff in the cargo. I would get to look through the cases and stash stuff I wanted to buy later. It was awesome. I remember when the Cabbage Patch craze happened some customers would try to bribe us into saving them a certain type of doll. A white girl doll with red hair was the most popular if I remember correctly. |

Just took another look at that awesome toy store picture. First thing that popped into my mind was a toy commercial from the 80s. The guy with the deep voice that would say The Return of the Jedi from Kenner."
Also lets play the name game for the Joes. I see Gung Ho v1, Zap, Tripwire, Roadblock v1, Rock and Roll v1, and Scarlett. Can anyone else identify any other GI JOE figures? Last edited by Cobra80; 12-24-2013 at 09:17 AM.. |
