Video of the Week
Over on the Retro Ramblings Instagram, I posted a short review of the new Ghostbusters cereal that you can check out. While eating the cereal, a wave of Ghostbusters nostalgia came over me, so I headed to YouTube to watch some old toy commercials. I found more than enough to satisfy my craving, and thought I would share the with you this week. So enjoy over 30 minutes of old Ghostbusters toys commercials!
Hey, thanks for the link to the Crash Bandicoot article. A few things in there I didn’t know! =)
