DISCLAIMER:
ALL THE STUFF I'M POSTING HERE IS TAKEN FROM BLOGS (Mainly Japanese), WEBSITES & CHAT BOARDS. I AM IN NO WAY CLAIMING OWNERSHIP OR ORIGINATION FOR MOST OF THESE SCANS (Although i have cleaned and improved the majority of them in Photoshop). I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS OF THESE SCANS AND APOLOGISE FOR NOT CREDITING THEM INDIVIDUALLY.

So, kicking things off . . . . a nice vintage toy brochure:

This is just fantastic. Best news on SB in a while. Let me take the opportunity here once again to extend my sincere thanks to you for your completely selfless, ongoing efforts to find and catalogue this stuff, and now to keep it all going in the face of the obstacles. A most sincere thank you. This stuff is amazing, and I love coming to the Advert thread. Everything that is fun about this hobby is contained in these pages. Here is to full and even more expansive restore.
