Them toys are probably worth thousands now.
I made $15K in 3 months on eBay selling all my old 80s and 90s toys in auctions
Some dude from Sweden paid like $300 for the Jurassic Park truck after he asked me if it was a reissue and I showed him the OG ‘93 stamp

Being a kid in the 90's before internet took our souls in the 00's
dad/mom take you to pizza hut unexpected then swing you by toy's r us or kmart to pick out a toy
Being able to sit down and eat in a Pizza Hut was ethereal. There was one holdout, not too far from my job, but the pandemic killed it smh. I regret not going there for lunch more often. There’s still a sbarro’s up here though, it’s just hard to get to with mall traffic between two freeways.

face when my Christmas list had some shyt he KNEW was going to have him running all over metro Houston or Atlanta to find it lol.

Video game prices have only gone up $10 per new title in 32 years
$50 in 1991 is $145 in todays money, per game
I’ll never forget nabbing the game slip and having to go to a separate window where they held all the games and checking out on the side like a VIP and not being in line with the rest of the plebeians
Not sure if our store was unique but I specifically remember that side window since I got a shot ton of games back in the 90’s

our imaginations ran wild.... now we just zombies...I miss that shyt. A year before the last Toys R Us around me closed, I went through it just to see what was up. It wasn't the same as in the 90s cause kids want slightly different things, but the magic was there. I will go to my grave thinking fondly on that "I don't want to grow up" jingle and getting amazing gifts like the Spider-Man and Daily Bugle playset
There is a certain amount of joy that you can not reproduce as an adult that these toys deliver. Maybe having kids and seeing them play, but I have fond ass memories.

All those 80's cartoons were just big merchandising licks: MASK, The Centurions, GI Joe, Bravestar, Visionaries, Ninja Turtles........ . I wanna go back
