Star Wars Toys at Toys R Us 1980

Just came across this and thought it was worth sharing as it's great to get a sense of how stocked with SW goodies the shops were at the time. I must admit that I just scared through it but it was nice to see so much vintage goodness

To the mods - Please move this to a different section if you feel there's somewhere more appropriate for it.

Nice one Ian, I've not seen that before.
Some SW carded peg warmers amongst the new shinny ESB cards, I wonder why no one wanted that Hammerhead?

Oh for a time machine !

Great to watch ... never liked toys r us that much as killed off independents in my local high street ... and now there's no toy stores at all.

Cheers Ian, that's a great watch 8) never seen that before, amazing to see all stacked high, those prices as well, if only there was a time machine!

It is amazing to see all of those box fresh items and I love the Mego Moonraker boxed set I spotted as well. It's also nice seeing it as it's from the ESB era, such a great logo

This is so good, absolutely love the video, thanks for posting. Imagine how many shipping boxes were flat packed and binned
