Galoob Blackstar Action Figures at Lionel Playworld in 1984

Yesterday’s Star Wars advertisement also gave us another peek at the Galoob Blackstar action figures, this time with prices at almost $2 off per figure. Combine the below ad with the Walmart ad we saw earlier this month and the Playland ad we saw earlier this year, and we can start to see the death of a forgotten toyline. And that is what makes these ads so fun: Watching the rise and fall of toys at retail and seeing what toys really sold for when they were new.
