I love how Disney freaked out about how the Blank action figure could have spoiled the whole movie back then and like 90% of merchandising for every movie immediately spoils it now. Remember when the third Shrek film came out and they spoiled the reveal that he was going to be a father because of all the Baby Shrek merchandising, even the Happy Meal promotion?

I remember being a little kid and playing with lawn darts with aunts, uncles, and cousins. Nobody ever got hurt. However... Those Star Wars lightsabers. A bunch of friends bought a bunch of them, I think later release as there were blue ones and single bladed (Vader) red ones. No one got burnt the one night we had a big battle-off, but I sure as heck hurt my ankle and had to call into work the next day. Lightsaber injury is possibly one of the best excuses to call out of work.

It's funny the things you remember, like I remember we were living in Flint MI at the time, & I remember we played that game mainly during the winters because it kept us warm. Winters in MI get pretty cold, but man that game had us all sweating after just a few minutes. I remember we would have to alternate people in single player because it just took so much out of us. I miss those days, had completely forgotten about that until this video, thanks for bringing back some good memories

I looked everywhere from Toys R Us, Zellers which was our big department store before Walmart came to Canada, Woolco another Canadian Store, Consumers Distributing which advertised the figure in their Catalogue but they didn't ever have it. Sears didn't have much of a toy department in the actual store but they had a lot more in their Wishbook Catalogue that you could order from so it's possible it was sold from there. I didn't notice it though. Just like the last series of the LJN WWF figures, I wasn't ever able to find the Ultimate Warrior in My area. I don't think we ever got him and some others from the last series as some of the figures were cancelled in general. It wasn't until Hasbro took over making the figures that I got the Ultimate Warrior but the same thing happened at the end of the Hasbro line. Many of the fugures just to name a few because many didn't ever get released in Canada including: Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, Crush, The Rocket Owen Hart, The Steiner Brothers, The Smoking Guns, Bret Hart all attires, The Undertaker, The British Bulldog, The Headshrinkers, Bam Bam Bigelow, Mr. Perfects Blue Attire, Hulk Hogan Red suit, and Yellow suit, etc. Back then there was no online so you would just have to go to the States to find them. Even then they were hard to find. It was just certain areas that got them. The second line of the WCW Galoob figures we didn't ever get either. Only the first series we got.

Same thing with mantels rookie year baseball cards. Company dumped all cards in ocean. But since flubbed was causing infections they should have never dumped it in ocean or buried it etc.

Dude I had stadium events and sold it at a garage sale for 2 bucks.

@@EdsRetroGeekOut sold it back in 2004 at a rummage sale my grandma was having because I wanted to play world of warcraft after seeing what the game looked like on G4. I figured if I'd ever want to go back to it badly enough I'd emulate it. Funny thing is I bought it at a rummage sale to begin with years earlier out of a box of Nintendo games that a family was trying to get rid of for some extra bread.

Look at the recall of the original Harry Potter Nimbus broom. The reason is, well interesting and probably should have undergone more testing.
