Kenner’s Sky Commanders and Hasbro’s Air Raiders on Clearance in 1988
December 11, 1988. This Best store advertisement from The Palm Beach Post stands out for one significant reason: We can see Kenner and Hasbro’s failure to market two unusual lines of the eighties as the toys go on deep discount for the 1988 Christmas season. Of the two, Air Raiders is the line I most remember, but those Sky Commanders toys look so fabulous that I kinda wish they were easy to find and inexpensive; I’d like to get a close look at those action figures . . . especially if I could find packaged ones for the $2 price shown in this ad.
