Seems like everyone I run into in the Cincinnati area knows someone who used to work at Kenner, or knows someone who knows someone who worked there. One of the benefits of working at Kenner was the ability to purchase toys directly from the company store. I am sure this was especially appreciated around Christmas time.
The following lists show the prices employees paid for toys directly from Kenner:
1983 Kenner Employee Price List (234K PDF)
1984 Kenner Employee Price List (258K PDF)
1985 Kenner Employee Price List Page 1 (248K PDF)
1985 Kenner Employee Price List Page 2 (215K PDF)
Brand new Droids A-Wing Fighter for $10.40? Yes please! After you check out, don’t forget to keep your receipt! If I could just get the last few minor details of time travel worked out, I’m going back in time with these lists in hand to look some people up for some serious shopping.
Hm.. The 1985 price list shows the Rose Petal Place Slumber Slipper which never made it into full production. Does that mean the list was made before the second year of RPP was scrapped, or does it mean there were a handful produced and made available to employees before they hit store shelves?
