    1980 Toys R Us Flyer featuring Mego, Mork and the Kenner Alien




    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 tucked in there somewhere, it's a real trip!

    Ahhh! Suckerman! So wonderful, and I'd forgotten about him. I love when these things unlock a lost memory of a toy. Does he speak "Cling-On"?

      The Sunshine Family creeped me out but Suckerman didn't. I was a weird kid.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        It's their lifeless doll eyes, the ones Quint was referring to when he compared the shark's eyes to that of a doll's.

          I’m sure those ads define 1980 for many of us. Wow! Brought back memories of some toys I’d forgotten.

            Yeah, I'm glad Cindy never got into The Sunshine Family. Even she thinks they are creepy. I don't want those in my house!!!

              No kidding, even the price to get them is kind of creepy.

                  That had to have been on purpose.

                    My sister had them. The most chilling member of the family was the bearded Grampa (not pictured above).

                      Love the Star Wars Ad, but the Shrinky Dinks bring back the most memories.
