Growing up in the '70s, the Sears book was awesome at Christmas time. I remember them having 2 pages of KISS merchandise one year.

One of you put a hole in the Farrah Fawcett bean bag and worked it.

My parents still have one of those old Panasonic microwaves. Only one they've ever bought.

Today that picture would be:

White boy, black girl, some boy with a skin tone that makes you wonder if he is Mexican or Asian this was before a PC era

If a single person moved that beast from the home...please do not think you can beat them down...They will likely let you go for while then announce it is their turn.

I actually don't believe there is a single non-caucasian in the link the OP provided.

I remember my first Kenmore microwave looking like this and costing $350.


I remember when my dad brought ours home. It was circa 1981 and they had just come out, or at least where we were. My mom was scared of the radiation and wouldn't let any of the kids use it. Damn thing sounded like a freight train when it was on

I got the X-Wing fighter, tie fighter, and the USS Constitution models one year. Didn't do a great job of putting them together but man I was so proud of them. Now my son is doing the same...

I loved getting the Sears' Wish Book, and I remember the 1990 edition from when I was nine.

Because my parents were cheap and we didn't have cable tv or video games, I spent many hours flipping the pages of the Wish Book with a marker circling the stuff I wanted (most of which I never got). I also remember talking about it during school lunch.

Good times even though I didn't get hardly anything I circled.

yep, i'll say this. when you have a screaming baby at 2am, this thing was great for warming baby bottles in a hurry.
