Autobot Cars and Transformers Dinobot “Red Hot Sale” in 1985

November 12, 1985. The Marion Star. Unfortunately — or is it actually fortunate? — the Transformers newspaper ad shown at right is so very tall that I can only display it here as a thumbnail image. Click the image to see a larger version, but don’t think that you can print this out and take advantage of the two coupons for Crawbaugh True Value Hardware . . . even if the store is still in business today! You see, these coupons are from over three decades ago, and I am pretty sure that both expired a long time ago.

And even if the coupons were still good, you’d be better off chasing down yesterday’s Dinobot deal since you’d save a buck on each of the toys.
