Here’s a great full-page ad for Big Bad Toy Store from the April, 2000 issue of Lee’s Action Figure News and Toy Review (Amazon.com search*). The ad itself is kinda flat and uninspired, but just seeing this ad for the online toy store is a bit of a treat and highlights how long they’ve been in business.
The ad’s a bit grainy and fuzzy in the scan . . . exactly like it is on the printed page!

Thanks so much for posting this!! I remember creating this ad on Paint Shop or Paint Shop Pro back in the infancy of BBTS (with obviously no formal graphic arts training!). The product lines in the ad were literally the only lines we carried at that point. We’ve come a long ways in 15 years, but the early exciting days this ad reminded me of are among some of my many favorite experiences with BBTS.
Thanks!

@Joel – Congrats on so many successful years and staying alive all this time! Paint Shop Pro? Man, that takes me back. Now I am remembering how much time I spent using Freehand in the late nineties.
