Just digging through some of the Palitoy paperwork following Squad Leader's post on baggies, and this image never fails to make me laugh. Just cropped out of the picture is the flame thrower he has in his left hand.
"You love Santa more than me? You think Santa brings you all this stuff huh? Let's see if the f##ker replaces all this then!!!"
Does anybody else like all this 'back in the day' stuff?

"Back in the day stuff"??...why I can remember when this was all fields
I may still have the 1st toymaster catalogue to feature the Sony Playstation in it kicking about some place about..I love seeing this stuff, especially the ones that have long forgotten toy lines in them, R.A.T.S or Scare Bears anyone?

Scare Bears yes, but R.A.T.S?
Rings a vague bell but can't remember what they were?

Robot Anti Terror Squad...R.A.T.S

I always found it funny they didn't seem to have any enimies, & the pilots were the same little guys from Zoids..

Wasn't the Grabber re-released as part of the Turtle's range years later?...I also recognise the Starshooter as well..

Baron, yes, that is Captain Toymaster, that was one two outfit he had, the other made him look like a Power Ranger.

I worked for one of the members for 12 years and in that time they just had the stupid puppy... I did get to zip Barbies dress up though! And see Action Man / Jack Stone semi naked

Kraken Wakes, did you ever take care of the buying for the outlet?
Is membership worth the money? I've been thinking of becoming an Associate member, so I can benefit from group buying without taking on the Toymaster brand itself, but the fees are quite high and I don't know if what I save will be more than the fees. Do you know if the wholesale is a lot better than what was offered direct?
In terms of 'back in the day' toys then, everyone pick their favourite non-AF toyline, one each, and I'll try dig out some toy catalogue references for you. It will take a day or so with what I have to hand, but should be a good trip down memory lane for everyone.
(should probably get moved to Random now too)
Dave.
