Remco Mini Monster Love

In fact, the Yorkdale Simpson's had them until about 1990 because they were really high priced. Wish I'd grabbed them then.

Man, I miss the days of seeing old stock in retail toy stores. That's something you just don't see any more. I remember seeing Interchangables at the local TRU's "clearance" section well into the 90's. I passed then because they were still rather expensive for being on clearance (and I didn't know the history of that line back then), but I certainly would grab them now. And finding a huge skid of ESB Scout Walkers at Zellers for $7.00 a pop in 1990 (10 years after they were released). And around 1991 I found carded Trek figures, AJ outfits and Shogun Warriors puzzles at a local mall toy store. Those were the days!

Indeed I do. Good ole' Gill (of course!) and the Wolf Man. Cards aren't perfect (and I'd love to get cases like yours to put 'em but have zero interest in grading in to be honest). They pop up now and again on ebay, but it's been a long time since I've seen any and most collectors don't seem too interested beyond the basic price for a Remco only one. Thankfully!

Awesome, glad to know deals exist. I live in Canada, attend toy shows regularly and never see them! Occasionally I find US cards though.

Last set I saw was 1998(!)

Sounds like "Toys and wheels" I found AJ outfits there, carded Ferengi ships from Galoob and even scored a Denys Fisher Dalek game there. It was a bermuda triangle of old toys.

I really like how the Burger King giveaway Universal Monster Toys seem almost lifted from this line.

I honestly forget the name of the place. It was in the lower level of the Penn Centre in St. Catharines, any fellow Ontario residents know the place I'm talking about? I passed on the AJ stuff (sorry, I know there are a lot of fans here, but I can't get into the line) but snapped up a Kirk, Spock and Klingon at $7.99 each. I also grabbed a set of the ERTL Star Trek III figures there. I miss that place.

I was struck by the same thought when I first saw them when they were released. I couldn't resist picking them up, and I don't even like Burger King.

I had Frankie & The Creech...God only knows where they went though! I'm guessing they ended up in the same vortex with my Yoda, Darth & C3PO.

Is it just me...or does it appear in that ad that Frankenstein Meats The Wolfman?
