Marx 1980 Toys R US Flyer

It's sadly looking like the end for Toys R Us in the United States, so let's go and focus on when it was a growing company that made for an amazing experience.

This Flyer from 1980 is so jam packed with late 1970s pop culture that every page seems to have some Incredible Hulk or Wonder Woman merchandise, it's a real trip!

So sit back and let's go to a much happier time!

Ah, I vividly and fondly remember Mork Mania and it's effect on the playground. It was short but fun!

Ahhh Professor Cookie Monster! Always hilarious. I also love the Bee Gees guitar by Carnival which I assume sold less than their KISS line?

2-XL was a big hit for Mego and see those Military walkie talkies by Vanity Fair? I had those as a kid!

It's pretty amazing that 38 years later, most of these games are still available in some form?

Hitting the raging hulk didn't seem like a great idea, I have issues with Bop Bags. I love the knickerbocker plush Hulk though, it's got a Ferrigno firght wig on!

Aurora T-Rex and speaking of prehistoric, check out that Lego! The Superhero fiddlesticks set is honestly one of those things I get "what are these?" emails about in regular rotation.

I don't know anything about vintage bikes but I imagine this page will make someone happy.
