remember the hysteria around the guy in the boxers? Pretty sure it was disproved later on.

My brother, sister and I would each go through the book circling anything and everything we wanted and would write our names next to the items. I really have no idea how much of that stuff I actually got. I was also pissed about the limited football costume choices. They always seemed to have the 49ers as an option as well since they were in their prime.


I will say I was disappointed that there wasn't a link to the full Wish Book at the end of the article though. I could have killed a good couple of hours scrolling through that.

I remember stealing a Fredricks of Hollywood magazine from my mom.. Now that was a good wish book.


Is that the one that smelled of perfume? That thing was a godsend for young boys everywhere.

1980 Catalog again. Lot of money back then for that Atari. I must have looked at those books for hours and hours.

Damn 170 bucks for a Walkman

You can get a years worth of any music streaming service for less than that now.

I fricking loved me some home Laser Tag. We had the vests AND hats.

And the wood grain on the sides of those microwaves

I definitely had some pajama sets but rarely wore them together as a set. I'd always have blue pants with a yellow shirt or something similar.
