While I get some new videos made, I will post some older ones that would fit Toys & More before I started it as a segment.
 
First up: The Loyal Subjects Transformers and GI Joe vinyl figures:

Next, big thanks to Rowsdower70 for Galaxian, RickR for Midnight Magic & NoSwearGamer for Secret Quest (& the controller timeline). Hopefully they'll enjoy what I sent them, especially PayPal $$$ in NSG's case.

248: Tutankham

might just be your Booster Grip and/or joystick that is loose fitting - I've had mine since the mid 80's (bought from a friend while in high school) and it fits great.

Here's a review I did of Sierra Interaction Magazine which exclusively covered Sierra games such as the Kings Quest series.

So cool to finally see what happens at the end. 

Today's ending is Ikari Warriors on the NES

Ep 235: Xenophobe

Here's a vid did of a vintage Ms. Piggy glass from McDonalds

Let's take a look at two more oddball 2600 cartridges!
 

 
Breakout made a brief cameo appearance in the post that started this thread off, but there it is in all its shiny golden-orange glory, next to another truly unusual and extra-hard-to-find late Atari Corp re-release.  Buckle up for weirdness and mistakes!
 
Let's start with Hangman: this is the only cartridge to be released in this silver/picture hybrid style.  Right out of the gate, we have a glaring typo -- All Rights Reseved -- in the copyright text.  Starting with some of their silver label games, Atari started printing VIDEO GAME CARTRIDGE right *on* the cartridge label -- you know, in case there was ever confusion.  It's like getting a tattoo of your own name, no?  Finally, to round things out, here we are in 1986 and... apparently we're calling the console the VCS again!  Well, okay, fine -- the "2600VCS".  Who needs spaces between words, anyway?  Or maybe the keming is just a little bit off.
 

 
Now, on to Breakout: again we have a unique Atari Corp. release -- no other title features this distinctive color label.  A PAL version of Defender features a blue label, but that one *may* be the result of a simple printing error -- apart from the funky colors it looks otherwise identical to the standard picture label release.  I've never seen or heard anything definitive about any of these variants, so, who knows?  In any case, the Breakout label was clearly intentionally designed to *some* degree.  If only they bothered to get the content right!  Here we have yet another Atari Corp. cartridge with incorrect controller information printed on it.  I wish I knew how they continually screwed up this most basic piece of information, but there you have it.  There was a corrected release of this variant that had a strip of black tape, as well as a follow-up with no controller information listed at all.  You'll also notice the copyright text is a little misaligned.  Again, not an uncommon problem with Atari Corp era releases:
 

 
The font used for the game titles (HammerFat) dates all the way back to the original text label cartridges:
 

 
It's also the same font used in the Atari "Fuji" logo.  Personally, I like the all-caps styling a lot, and I especially love the size of the text on the end labels.  There's one additional cartridge that has text of this size/style on the end label, as far as I know -- hope to be able to share that one in a future post!
