That's cold blooded 8)

Without being given the date that pic and set up looks very 70's and was the beginnings of something very beautiful indeed

Sick!

great pictures....

That room is the feel I like to give to my own collection room. Just like I am at Kenner's Corporate Building.

That would make a great collection room, great photos.

Man this is a great pic, thanks for sharing

- those white box shaped extrusions look like they could be big 70s style computer monitors :lol:

That room is quality - would love to see more pictures of this room - imagine if it still exisited

Cool room 8)

Doubt it does......but as I am beginning a build on my new room...it is inspiring.

Love seeing **** like this, thanks for posting it up Todd, surely with your skills (& the available space) you could re create the room

Awesome pics 8)

This might sound like a daft question but what do we think that room was used for exactly? Was it for sales executives to view the line? I hate the font that's been used on the lettering. Reminds me of Granada TV in the 80's.

Wonder what those white square cube like boxes are for? - a display inside or something?

Dunno but i can see a wire going to the near one. Old computer or sommat?

I was thinking TV sets show casing the new TV commercials or sales descriptions and training. They did have huge VCR and Beta players back then.

This was my theory too.

There were a few other photos along with these. I picked up this one which I thought was probably a scene inside one of the white cubes. There were some other toy photos, but they all appeared to be close ups from this scene.

I guess they could have been lit dioramas as that photo was with the rest of them

Yeah, it's just speculation at this point.

However, all later years did have dioramas on display. As far as I know these were all new '78 photos to surface, but there were also some movie stills, so it could have been a random sampling.
