Remember Your Toybox?

When you were a child, your whole Universe was contained within the toys you played with and collected. Obviously I can't talk for the ladies of the 80s, but us lads now in our late twenties and early thirties and beyond still have an enormous hankering for toys from the 80s.

I don't know how many times I've been in a grown up situation, talking about the new exhibit at the Nelson and next thing you know someone is saying "Ah man, I used to have Castle Grayskull and every He-man figure, and then when I went to college, my Mom sold them all at a garage sale for nothing, imagine how much that shit would be worth today." Then someone else would chime in with their 80s toy story.

This blog is going to chronicle toys I find and toys I already have. I'll try to keep to the 80s, but I know I'll wander into other time periods. And if you come across any great finds and want to share them, please be my guest.

This is not really a toy, but it does go along with the Star Wars side of my collecting. My friend Craig found this at a little junk/antique store in KC, KS. It's awesome, 'cause it looks like someone was skirting the edges of Copyright laws when they did the album cover art.
