MY DREAM OF A TIME MACHINE

I know it will never come true-- and if I wasn't such a major geek, I'd probably dream of something much bigger and cooler than this-- but how could I resist seeing all that 80's goodness all over again!?!

Little did I know at the time that I'd be dreaming of the good ol' days when the isles at Toys R Us were full of GI Joe, Transformers and Masters of the Universe! And, little did we all know that the stuff would be worth thousands and thousands of dollars now!

Well, it's not a time-machine, but it's almost as good... Just look at these pictures!!!

    1. Where is it..? In the past. These are pictures from a Toy R Us before it opened around circa 1986 or so. Which Toys R Us? I don't know. Could be yours, could be mine. Could have been any Toys R Us.

      These days this display would make one of the coolest and most impressive toy museums around. Back then though, it was just another day at Toys R Us...
