My kids had the animal hats when they were little, but nothing like that.

When I was a kd you couldn't escape the Hills and Canadian Tire commercials. Not that I wanted to, but if you were watching cartoons on a US channel, or anything on CBS or CTV this time of year, you'd be sure to see one. They really were great.

That was great ;) I hope so, I miss here...if she lands in AEW or NJPW I'd prefer as herself this time :schal:

Here is another but it's a SEGA special :schal:

With all of this Nintendo & even Atari Christmas commercials and all that, there hasn't been any Sega yet. I know it costs more than a NES at the time but still gosh Sega was so underrated. This one is from 1989 :) I didn't get Mine till 94 when the price really dropped kinda far but gosh I wasted no time playing it :)

Geesh, that Hills was good & weird at the same time PB :? :)

Here is this one, I have talked about them many times and even showcased them...Ben Franklin's :!: I have showcased many great things I got from them in My Vintage as well. They were arguably My fave store to go to store. They had a DC Super Powers section that you wouldn't believe I mean it was all in cases like it was the spotlight series of the whole store :batwink: :wwshock: :smgasp: In 1990 My Grandparents got Me ALL of My Kenner Beetlejuice figures that I showcased from Ben Franklin's :o They had a big selection of Galoobs's Micro Machines that My Grandma got Me and they had a huge selection of old time toy guns & rifles, I still have some of'em. I remember it like it was yesterday going there...it's such a shame that they never got the exposure like other stores did and that a lot of people didn't experience them then and even now. There's only a handful of commercials out there but I was able to find short Christmas commercial :scbat: :scww: :scsm:
