Star Wars….Only at Sears
Another Christmas page that made me crazy, those “exclusive” figures came on these weird shrunk wrapped cards and it drove me crazy tracking them down as a kid. Now, I wish I’d kept them as they’re worth a bundle.
Orlon Love
This ensemble is the exact reason they took “Obey” out of wedding vows.
World of G.I. Joe
This Shop-Rite piece from 1976 is another wishbook image that burned right into my brain. I managed to con my folks into Bulletman and the Capture Copter (purchased at Shop-Rite no less) that year. I was really sad to not see Joe in the catalog next year.
Get It Together
Even I can tell these guys are Narcs….

M*A*S*H Field Hospital Set
