borgified Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Now hold up here @davidwhangchoi. Isn't Toys R Us considered kaput in the States from what I understand? The only Toys R Us stores that are still open and running are in Asia, Europe and in Canada (honestly TRU stores up here have jack squat) . If you want one, then ask @tekering to get you a copy and he can send it over. Otherwise your totally out of the loop.

lechuck Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I think it would have been nicer to have given Max the YF-30 and of course a great opportunity for fans to reacquire an iteration of that DX toy. Would love to see someone work their Photoshop skills on a Max coloured YF-30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think they probably meant the head fin antenna instead of the laser turrets. Sorry, @treatment. Photo below from Anymoon.com.

Don't forget the catalog they mailed to your house several months before Christmas, packed with pictures of all the new toys, so you could get excited about them and then mercilessly try to convince your parents to buy them at every possible opportunity. My parents quickly learned to hide the catalog when it arrived, but I always managed to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Huh.. I would actually order with BBTS if I could get to the site, but it seems to be down for the moment. Maybe related to the email I got from them about the Max 29 release? I think my ISP has been having some serious routing issues lately though.

borgified Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I can still remember the news broadcast when all hell broke loose when the Cabbage Patch craze was on back in ‘82 - ‘83 (was in Elementary at that time). Actually played with them when growing up with my next door neighbour for a couple of years. Anyone feel like an old fossil? 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
