TSR products with the Angle Logo started appearing ~1983. -In three years, TSR went from having a demonic image on the cover of the 1980 catalog to these tykes. This scan is from a recent auction that received no bids due to a ludicrous $27 opening bid.
Mars wrote:If find that 1985, 86, 87 are the most interesting catalogs because they have a lot of mockups that are different from what was released and a few products that weren't released. Another good example of this is the 1985 catalog had one page devoted to TSR's new game Proton Fire (RPG) which was a robot game - not sure if humans had robot suits or if it was a man vs robot game. But TSR went so far as to aslo list the first 4 modules for it MX1 Planet Fall, MX2 Silent Thunder, MX3 Warbots Rising, and MX4 Warbots Embattled.

The display stand with the large Lizard Logo is also great. Somebody here must have one of these?This ad is being sold on Ebay (not by me) if anyone is interested. I normally don't post links to these type of ad-auctions because they are ripped from magazines. In this case, based on the second sheet it looks like the ad is from a retailer magazine so it might be fairly hard to find. ** expired/removed eBay auction **
