Flashback Vintage style
« on: December 12, 2009, 08:59:23 AM »
Here I will be looking for cool old photos or items from the days of Star Wars at retail.  Photos, ads, commercials, posters, you name it I will be hunting for it.

First up is a pic I saw at plaid stallions.com,   never heard of teh site before but found the old pic they had,

Very cool and nostalgic  a shot at Macys from 1978,   The things dreams are made of, seeing  vintage SW again at retail

I don't think I'd EVER seen a display like the one Macy's had going on there!  I don't know what I would have done!

Seeing these pictures reminds me there were a lot of businesses back then that carried these toys yet many of these places, though still in business, don't carry toys much at all any more.

Yeah, I am digging these too. I would love to see some old shots of Sears' or JC Penney's displays. Ditto Woolworth's or Woolco.

I will see what I can dig up as far as old shots of store interiors, these things are not to common to run across but I like hunting them down.

Makes a person wonder if some of us should be taking pics of some of the current items for fuuture use ;)

I used to have that big trak toy. Man that thing was cool. I would sit an action figure up in the 9-volt battery compartment and program it through an obstacle course that I would set up in the living room.
