There were was a toyline back in the mid-late 90s that I had a poo poo load of the toys for but can't remember the name of.

It involved cards with weapons on them and there was a statue of liberty playset that was the good guys base? I think it came with a helicopter?

Sounds like Hot Wheels Road Wars.

I found two hours of UK tv ads from the 90s on youtube last week. So much nostalgia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5jGlMSffp0

There is one advert from the late 1990s (it might have been the very early 2000s; I'm not sure) which has stuck in my mind for years, which nobody else I've ever spoken to can remember. It was a kind of found footage thing, set in a Piggly Wiggly supermarket (I distinctly remember that being the name and it's very odd, because that's a chain that has zero presence whatsoever in the United Kingdom), presenting a man wearing a large, garish Chinese dragon mask stalking about the store and terrorising customers. You'd see things like someone walking their trolley off screen, followed by the unmanned trolley rolling back into view because the fellow had seemingly jumped out and grabbed them. The last shot I recall was the guy being marched out and pushed into a police car, still wearing the mask.

I can't even remember what it was advertising, or even what on Earth it could have been advertising; maybe it was a true crime or reality TV thing, and I've been conflating it with an advertisement all this time? It was the most bizarre thing, but it made an impression on my young mind.

“I got 4 bikes”: 2 Nickelodeon Super Toy Run winners reminisce 20 years later

My cousin won a more local version of that when I was a kid. You just got one cart and there was no time limit but you got only what you could fit in the cart, then the store matched the dollar value of the toys and donated that much to a charity that gave toys to poor kids or whatever. He did it with a few other kids and I remember thinking they all hosed up. They wen't for stuff like big LEGO sets, which are awesome but take up a ton of space.

My cousin exclusively wen't for action figures. He was the only kid who had actual squads of stormtroopers. He also got a bunch of those kung fu fighting rock em sock em robot things which were really cool.

The real winner was me because his mom made him get rid of a bunch of stuff so I got his massive amount of 80's GI Joes and Star Wars figures which would later be worth a bunch of cash when eBay became a thing.

People have posted it before but I've always wondered:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rqZZgVxnCk

Why was this particular commercial so overplayed on channels like Nickelodeon? I remember that at least once per show there was one adbreak that included this commercial. Not only that but it lasted an insane amount of time, that commercial had to have existed for years at that insane overplayed rate.

Did Sears just really stand behind their air conditioner deals or something?

Sears stood behind their house products like crazy, and still do today with regards to Craftsman tools. Not so sure on Kenmore these days. K-Mart only bought Sears to get their hands on the Craftsman brand. I know there are other manufacturers of tools out there, but I'll take a Craftsman product over a Dewalt. Just how I was raised.

Plus, it drilled it into our heads that Air Conditioner = Sears. I'm not sure if they still do home installs for them anymore.

This is my favorite ad from when I was a kid, because I thought the song was really awesome, but then my friend told me there wasn't really lightning and cool poo poo in the actual game (I was pretty young). Also I'm pretty sure this exact commercial kept playing until the mid-2000s:
