That was a pretty awesome video. I remember back in the day my dad would buy me new turtles from Germany. I specifically remember getting the rock bus and slap stick leo that way.

Man, back when Toy stores didn't seem to care that they had a billion figures spilling off the pegs at really cheap prices. Not like now, they are way too careful.
I remember at one point I had to pack away my Turtle stuff, because the family my mom and I had to stay with thought they were the Devil. Not like those toy guns with popping action.

Here is another sighting from the BBC Television mini-series "I Love the 80s". A store display from the year 1990 appears at 4:54 in the YouTube video.

Has anyone here ever seen the 1991 movie "Career Opportunities"?
Most of the scenes in it take place in a Target. It was filmed in January of 1990, I think. In one scene, the two main characters (Frank Whaley and Jennifer Connelly) are in the toy aisle and there is an end cap filled with the basic assortment figures from '89. I cannot find a screen grab anywhere on-line, but I know I saw it. The scene appears in the middle of the film, I believe, in case anyone here is interested. |

^ Thanks for posting that screen grab. I w as looking all over the Internet for it.
Here is another YouTube video that I found: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy aisle appears at 0:17. Last edited by mikey0; 04-19-2017 at 04:47 PM. |

No problem. I sprung the $3.99 to rent it on Amazon. There were 3 good reasons: TMNT, John Hughes and Jennifer Connelly (big fan of her around the time of The Rocketeer). The movie itself was just OK, but it was kinda cool to see a Target store from the early '90s. They weren't in my area until much later.
btw: that youtube link doesn't seem to work. |

A news story from November of 1989:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7o2KQV...ature=youtu.be The Retrocatapult, Pizza Thrower, Turtle Battle Fun Sets, and Krang action figures can all be seen. I think their footage was shot in Toys “R” Us. |
