I definitely remember staring in awe every time I went to the toy aisle and wishing I could win one of those shopping spree contests that TRU would run back then. The ones where you had only so much time to put as much as you could into 1 or 2 shopping carts. I had it all planned out: which aisles to hit first, what toys to put in the carts, etc.

There's also been many times I wish I could go back and beg my parents for specific Transformers. Fort Max, Metroplex, Scorponok and Trypticon immediately spring to mind.

Something else I remembered after looking at the pics. There weren't that many pegs back then, and a lot more shelving. I guess part of it was the amount of vehicles and playsets that were all the rage then. Now all we get usually is two shelves on the bottom and one on the top (all filled with crap most of the time).
