Long story short, I was doing some newspaper research and came across two separate K-Mart ads from 1986 that featured sale prices on AWA Remco and WWF LJN figures, respectively. I thought you guys might enjoy seeing the scans (and drooling over the prices, as I nearly did).   Not a bad deal for a MOC Remco 3-pack, right?  |

Nice find. I can't remember the name of the store, but I remember finding a lot of LJNs (Jesse the Body, Killer Bees, Billy Jack Haynes) back in the day. Wish I could recall the name because it was a goldmine. I also ordered a bunch of figures off the back of the Apter mags. Tried to get the Hart Foundation, but it sold out.

I remember Mum taking me to toy outlet in this big warehouse. Think it was after xmas and LJNs were about $2.50 (Australian) each. Pretty much the 1st 3 series. I got about 12 and remember her showing me ones I didn't have saying do you want this but I declined. If only I knew to stockpile Hogan and Andre 5 backs etc.

I've got a AWA two pack still on card with the Zayres sticker still on it. Original price was 5.99. Then there's a clearance sticker with 3.40 on it.

Always fun to see this stuff. I'd be running to my mom & grandma to ask if I can get some.

It pains me a bit to see a $6.99 price sticker on my black card Andre. lol
Not because the sticker is on it and it's not in pristine condition, but that I could have owned it for 6.99 at one point.
