oh man i've actually had dreams like that.

I've had VIVID time travel dreams about going into stores circa 1981-1983 and just buying as many toys as possible. It's almost as if I could smell the TRUs, Lionel Playworld, Kay*BEE air! God, I remember the aisles being massive and almost surreal to see how many toys were on the shelves. Gay, I know.

If I had a time machine, I'd be going back and buying every damn SW toy I could get my hands on.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

I wish wormholes were real. God, more like the vintage depression thread.

____ that, i'd go back and win the lottery a couple times.

Makes sense. I guess if I did that, I could buy all the mint SW toys on eBay.

 

[galactiboy]

Do both! Lottery tickets, bet on games, buy toys and start Facebook while we're at it

And that Blockade Runner is bad to the bone!!!

lol, dude, i had a dream where myself and bunch of other imaginary geeks traveled back in time to a TRU. i was the first to the toy aisle and put like 90% of the he-man figures in my cart. everyone was pissed off at me, but i told them i could take as many as i want because the time travel was MY idea and they couldn't do it without me. lol. one of my friends always rags on me for that story.

Suck it non-time travelers!

I just scored a mini grail that I've been hunting for a few years, ROTLA German Mechanic MOC. One of my fondest memories as a kid was walking into KB Toys and seeing a huge clearance bin full of German Mechanics and German Indys. My mom got me one of each and they were the only Indy figures I ever had. I was lucky enough to score a German Indy MOC cheap a few years ago so now my nostalgic goal is complete.

 

[galactiboy]

Very cool pick-up and story MadCow

 

[DPrime]

Oh, I've had recurring dreams like that.

Usually it's either vintage SW, Transformers (Constructicons and Dinobots more often than not) or GI Joe... Sometimes with stuff that never existed, like a big GI Joe landing craft sort of thing. Man, that would have been cool...

 

[karamazov80]

I've had dreams in the past of finding some store that still had GI Joes, Transformers, Super Powers, etc. from the mid-1980s on the shelf unopened. And like DPrime, sometimes figures/vehicles that never existed would be on the shelves. Like more Teen Titans or JSA in the Super Powers line. I've had a dream of running across a boxed up Zartan in an old gas station more than once.

 

[galactiboy]

I used to have dreams about finding M.U.S.C.L.E. figures when I was working on finishing a set of them. Don't have toy dreams too often nowadays... but still have the occasional "vintage score" dream usually involving Kenner SW.
