G.I. Joe | Color Changing 80s Memories

[@Chasing80sToys]

Great video. Those memories down 80s lane are priceless. Happy to see the toystore is still standing. So cool David Hasslehoff came for the opening.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes, such a great decade. The decade of decadance!

[@gotgijoe]

Thank you for the memories.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching

When I re-acquired a Zartan as an adult I was surprised he still changed color. Those 80s mall memories, I could build a library on those alone. Kay-Bee Toys, Sears, Mervyn's so many toy aisles all within the same building. Really cool hearing your memories, the lower ramp doors, etc.. funny the things our memories are made of. Great video, Dave C!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes, Zartan was a game changer! The best science fiction type character arah had for sure. Yeah, so many memories of stores, family and joes. I think its good to capture this stuff on record before they fade away!

Good memories! You wanted a Cobra-La set...ah, the innocence of youth. 😅

[@danjamin905]

What an awesome time to grow up!! Great video!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes! Society with more ethics and morals. Parents with such devotion to their children. Longer attention spans and better governments. We had it all 😀

[@anthonysuski9248]

Awesome!!! 😎 👍

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thanks for the visit

ZARANA! 😍 How good is the Knightrider theme!!! Awesome video! None of the places I used to go to get Joes are there any more, well, the plaza that the Child World I use to go to is still there, but I think the building is gone, and the other place was a mall called the Galleria. Well, now there's a street there..🥺

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thanks Gazz! Thanks for watching, l had always wanted to visit and do an 80s store video. I was happy to go to the old buildings. Its weird - we are not that old and yet we are. As long as we have our Joe memories, we will be fine 👍

Great memories! I remember Black Friday and the kb toy store at the Beloit mall back in the 80s where I grew up in Wisconsin!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yeah Man! 80s stores rule

[@OldManTheseDays]

Zartan blew my mind when I was a kid.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yeah! He was so wild. The best far out Science Fiction character ARAH had! Thanks for watching Eric!

[@KEEPINGitREAL213]

As soon as I heard the Knight Rider intro.... My head started bobbing!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yeah man! Deadly show. So many great things from an amazing decade! Yo joe

[@BobHansenJokes]

Awesome memories of these malls! I love this stuff. Cool to see it. I went into our old mall, Jefferson Valley mall in upper Westchester County, NY, and it was in business but a ghost town; sad to see.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank Bob! It was great to go back to the same mall. Yes, Sears was not open anymore of course. That sucks your old mall was not that busy. I don't care what anybody says, online shopping does not hold a candle to what we had in the 80s and early 90s at these malls and toys r us stores!
