I also have vivid memories of my Toys R Us and Hills having tons of Hasbro figures always stocked out during the first few sets. My Dad would buy me and my brother 1 every Friday if we were good during the week and went to school. Such great memories. A friend of mine and I were just talking about this the other day and how nothing compared to going to the store and getting the Hasbro's. We'd get our weekly allowance and we would ride our bikes to our ShopKo or K-Mart and grab whatever we could. I've just about finished getting the figures I needed whether I lost them, broke them, or never had them. The green card series never came near me, so I fear I may never get them with the current prices they are going for.

I remember going after my birthday (which is literally right after Christmas) to use gift certificates. I went to the giant endcap promotional spot for them at the front of TRU to be totally gutted that so there was was $DMan and Brutus, if which I already had. I didn't realize then that after Christmas was A BAD time to shop for toys lol

Why the hell do we not yet have the technology to enter into photos like that?!! What the hell are they doing in Silicon Valley? Great photo to see, thanks

Great photo to see, thanks This looks like a photo from that toy warehouse in Vienna that was posted on here years and years ago. Yes, in the 2010s someone found that endcap in an old warehouse and got all those MOC Hasbros for that price... I've been losing sleep over it for years now, lol!!

Great photo to see, thanks Yes this is the warehouse from Austria 🇦🇹 but today it looks much emptier. Only a handful of s10 headshrinkers left. Unfortunately all the rest is sold.

Immediate thoughts are damn did Brutus and The Rockers warm...this is potentially that Brutus sitting on those shelves for 3-4 years.

Looks like TRU price tags. Didn't they ever clearance the old stuff? Can't believe Rockers and Beefcake are sitting there along with Sid and Anvil. No wonder I never saw anything past S6 at TRU.
