It was an effective LP measure, though of course, there had been occasions where TRU would run out of tickets for that one item, and that caused inconvenience. Though it was (and still is) common practice for video game stock to be hidden away, because of their high value and ease of stealing, even though most TRUs in the warehouse format had a rather convoluted entrance where there was normally push barriers and a customer service desk straddling the entrance and exit.

Around 93 I was 10 and becoming more interested in makeup and clothes and my brothers were nearly 13 and into skateboarding, girls and metal and all our childhood TMNT stuff was either donated or given away or possibly thrown out.

I'm a child from the 60s to the 70s and my younger brother and I would jump out of the station wagon and run into the Kmart or whatever department store and go straight to the toy department! Oh my goodness that was so much fun. Looking at each toy that we wanted to have. Our mom instructed us to stay there together until she comes for us. Toy departments now are so depressing. Where are the toys? Anyway at 63 I am a kid at heart. Have a good day all!❤

Damn I had that exact monopoly set. I used to play that literally as a toddler. I just played with the little pieces until I understood the game

Ahhh, the good old days of taking the giant price tag up to the register and she would YELL at someone to go get the item for you while you waited and waited. Now we have Amazon.

The innocence at this time makes me sad. I miss it. 10 years before the biggest amount of BS changed the world forever.

Nowadays, people will just walk in with their friends and steal all those toys right from the shelves.

The NCR 7052s in this video seem to have a very odd combination of a basic customer display pole and a sophisticated alphanumeric VFD for the checkout operator that displays more information than the customer pole. I wonder why they chose to do this given that the UK TRUs used an entirely different POS system (IBM 4683) which always had an alphanumeric green display.

They probably were gay, that’s why they chose such a stylish and superior design. Cishets in this era were cringe at tech.
