80's Toy Expo Walkthrough Pics

It took me more time to organize and label these pics than I think I spent at the show.....nevertheless, I thought everyone would like to see a sampling of what was available at 80's Toy Expo that just went by here in Toronto.

Not everybody here had Transformers for sale, but I think if your a fan of Transformers, then for the most part you are a fan of all the other toys (or at least have heard of them) that came out in the 80's-90's.  Enjoy the trip down memory lane.

Starscream on The Goldbergs

Love this show, not only for its nostalgia for everything 80's, but also for the Transformer cameos that happen every now and then.  Look who showed up this week…..our bud Starscream.
