    Is There a Thread For Old Retail pics?

    You know, like a shot at Kaybee Toys showing Megos on peg hooks, that sort of thing? Sorry if I'm not looking in the right place, I'm just not seeing it...

        I have one awesome pic taken in probably 1980, it's a color shot of probably 500 MOC WGSH at a Kaybee store... if I can dig it up I'll post it.

          Old toystore pics usually end up in the Classic Toys section.

            You don't have a lot of patience, do you?
            Have you checked the library? http://www.megomuseum.com/megolibrary/index.html

              No, I don't. You got me.

                As you are noticing, this kind of thing is frustratingly rare. The Plaidstallions archive (painstakingly compiled by the Mego Museum's curator Palitoy) is actually quite amazing and I'm grateful it exists.

                If you dig that photo up we'd be thrilled to see it.
