I realized awhile ago that I haven’t given much attention to my new blog since I started it last month. Actually, I don’t think I’ve given it any attention. Anyway, now’s a good time to give it a good jumpstart thanks to an awesome eBay find.
As most of you probably know, I’ve been a ‘90s nostalgia nut ever since 2005. And this past year, I’ve acquired an interest in vintage Toys R Us related memorabilia. I remember visiting the Toys R Us across from Carolina Circle Mall back in the ‘90s, almost as much as I went to the actual mall. I absolutely loved that place until it sadly closed in August 2002.
I was browsing around eBay this evening and I happened to come across this interesting item; a 1993 Toys R Us Christmas catalog! As a guy who is absolutely in love with all things ‘90s, I had to buy this because it involved Toys R Us and vintage ‘90s toys which some of them I probably had back then.
By looking at the eBay listing, it appears it has at least 69 pages, though I’m thinking it’s probably well over 100 pages. Some of the items it seems to include are Super Nintendo consoles, Sega Genesis consoles, Sega Game Gear portables, and Barney toys (which were very popular in 1993).
However, the Toys R Us catalog I am especially looking for is the one from 1994, my favorite year and favorite Christmas. I found one on eBay in May 2013, but unfortunately, it was being sold for $80 with no option to make an offer. I hope to find one someday.
Anyway, I’m really excited about this catalog and I plan to make a full review of it here on my blog as well as on YouTube in the form of a video.
