Wow, the original 4. You just know these were solid boxes. Gotta love the price. Also another store I never went to or heard of.

$1.39, ouch that's killing me. Another reason to finish up that time machine concept I have been working on.

$1.39 that's a deal!!! it's funny how aquaman always misses the boat.

[palitoy]

Actually Aquaman is in there, you just have to squint.

That is so cool. And what a bargain. I'll take a few...100...cases.

I love seeing all these old Ads. So often are they from stores I have never heard of, or just didn't have in my area, which still fascinates me for some apparent 70's freak toy nerd reason.

I can Barely make out Aquaman. I never heard of this store before either, but what a bargain. It's making me drool. I wish I knew then what I know now

effectively ending all hopes of North Pacific's Red Baron Kite from becoming THE toy line of the 70's.

Ads like that are probably why most kids I knew in Harlem NYC had at least 1 or 2 Megos. In my neck of the woods they were more affordable than GIJoe.
