    If You Knew Then what we know now

    In the tradition of SUPERMARKET SWEEP.
    If you could have 5 minutes in a toy shop in 1977 what would you grab/ buy ?
    Just for fun as I don't have a time machine that works at the moment.


    Myself I would take as many Kresge wgsh as I could fit into a trolly and a few 12" Star Wars figures, Stretch Hulk ? nah.

      KBs use to have toy runs as well. As for me,I guess the usual. On top of that,I'd also grab some Weebles and Little People stuff. Maybe a couple Atari 2600s just for kicks.

          I wouldn't be buying toys at all, in fact I am surprised that you people would buy toys. I would head straight to JC Penney's and buy the latest fashion outfits I could get!

              You'd be out of luck in 77, kresge cards were long gone by then. But grab every carded Iron Man and Goblin you can see.

                I'm glad I didn't know then, what I know now. I think it would have ruined it all for me. I much prefer my memories of toys as toys, and not as monetary items.

                  I'll make this simple. I'd head down the Barbie aisle and stack up. Barbie collectors are just as fierce as Megoheads. Maybe more so. I'd then take my haul and sell it... and buy Megos. And GI Joes. And maybe some stock in AOL circa 1994.

                    I'd buy all the gold I could carry. Then I'd buy something to help me carry more gold.

                      Wayne Foundation, all Mego vehicles, and Teen Titans. Anything else would be gravy.


                      Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?
