That was a great Sgt. Slaughter G.I. Joe commercial :)

Here's this Commodore 64 commercial...the first commercial was kinda like one We have but I'm not familiar with this version at all :shock:

How about that ;)

Oh man, Star Trek: The Next Generation. Those figures are still some of the best ever made IMO. They were some of the best sculpted ones and even though McFarlane came about with sculpting like no other a little during the line's existence, Playmates' Star Trek was still wonderful. Still one of my favorite action figure series today :)

That is also a great commercial there of the first ST:TNG there...I love to see origins ;)

Here's this Commodore 64 Commercial. the subject of this one is how old. Well I was quite young when My Mom got her Commodore 64 and she got them games. I picture Myself like the youngster in the thumbnail. Like I said in My showcases...I them a while before I really knew Nintendo & Sega even though I have a couple games by them for the Commodore 64 :)

Amazing how that Lanard The Corps Recruits had all of that cool animation yet there was not one scene that showed the actual product :o

Here's this Commodore 64 commercial. Now this is the actual system that My Mom got. The same Keyboard and the same Disk Drive. Remember I showed in My One-on-One showcase the disk? Well that's the compartment I put it in :) See the Commodore 64 Logo :?: I always loved that when I was a youngster, I still find is very cool :)

When Chuck Norris looked into the abyss, the abyss looked the other way.

Oh Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos were a great series by Kenner. I showcased them long ago. Still IMO the Chuck Norris is sculpted superbly and still holds up today :)

Oh yeah, great commercial :) That ring with Stone Cold was way too big for the Jakks figures...Jakks really took the LJN Ring style for a while and didn't make a proper sized scale Ring till a couple years later. That set with the ref. I already had all of them figures but didn't have the ref...I wanted that set a lot but darn it was so hard to find and I never seen him on a single blister card either :roll: I have the Vinnie Mac figure. Jakks had such great special edition sets and I loved how Jakks was doing the ringside personnel...their one of the only companies that did that with wrestling figures I mean they made Jim Ross, Jim Cornette and more :)

Here's this great Australian Commodore 64 commercial. The woman in the video thumbnails is nice ;) At 0:13 he reminds Me of Myself there from long ago :) This is got such a catchy 80s song :)
