I miss the 80's toy aisle. The days where one line got a full 30 foot section. Now most are lucky to get 10' of space.

I miss them too! The giant walls of GI Joes, Star Wars, and TFs were almost hypnotic!

Looking atthe the pictures I posted, its kind of crazy, as you can see Post TFTM toys mixed in with 1984 toys. One of them even has PMOP next to the original prime.

I'm pretty sure the Transformers pics are someone's private collection set up like a store display (notice the Ikea shelves to the right in the first pic - also that it's labeled "20th Century Toy Collector").

Still an effective point of course. The toy aisles of yore were a sight to behold.

Oh, that would explain my surprise at seeing Powermaster and OG Optimus Prime sharing shelf space.

That's, uh, a lot of duplicates, though. and what's with the price tags? I get going for authenticity, but... wow.

Admittedly, I'd love to display my stuff in a similar way, but... probably fewer duplicates.

Yeah, I just noticed that too. What threw me off on that was the idea that someone out there would have a collection like that on Store shelving with that many MISB duplicates of heavy hitters like Jetfire, Optimus, and metroplex, as well as all those G1 deluxes.

Here are some Old School Toy Aisles though:

I love that base! Got it out for Haywire3 to play with (a couple years ago, according to my phone, where does the time go?), and unfortunately some of the parts are quite brittle, but he had a blast! I think Cobra MASS-deviced in some kaiju to battle the Joes or something...

We just got a home-made Cobra Fortress from my brothers, might be time to break out the Joe base again!
