    You can still buy one of these, just don't try to take it through airport security!

    Major Matt Mason and all the accouterments.

    Johnny West, his horse and all his pals.

    The 007 briefcase.

    The full sized GI Joes. My favourite was my Joe with the Gemini Capsule.

    I still have the spacesuit.....Everything else is gone...That was by far one of the sets they had....Ah the Sear's and J C Penney Wishbooks!!!!

    Kids today have no idea how much fun a catalog can be....Or what anticipation is...

    Now excuse me...Someone is playing rap music real loud and I need to go outside and shake my fist at their car and tell them about 8 track tapes and the Sugarhill Gang....

    I had one of these....They called it a Strange Change Machine....Mom called it the "Pour some cold water on your fingers and I'll pop your blisters tomorrow machine..."

    I loved Strange change Machines & Thing Makers and any toy that allowed you to make as many toys as you wanted, you could make Armies and it would be "free" just a little work ... The room would be full of the smells of cooking goo and flesh, You always burned yourself.. :)

    How about the wood burning iron with the 2 foot or less cord that almost assured that you'd be plugged into the wall outlet next to the drapes as you created your art masterpiece.
