Adventure from Beyond the Stars
There aren’t many better ways to spend an afternoon in 1980 than acting out a “Buck Rogers on Tatooine” storyline.
The Empire Strikes the snooze button
Really digging the art on these. I never personally had a Star Wars bed spread but I have a childhood pillow case collection that is like a pop culture time capsule.
Sears Interplanetary Star Fortress
I miss the days of Catalog store’s slipping in their own items to catch the latest trend, the Interplanetary Star Fortress and space case are wonderful examples of Sear’s tagging onto the Star Wars Juggernaut.
Carded Space Sword
Not long after I finally reunited with my childhood fave, a kind soul passed along an ebay auction for this carded version of Space Sword. Something I probably haven’t seen or thought about since I was about seven years old. While I seem to also recall these being sold in bulk “dump bins” as a […]

The closest K-Mart to me was on Alderaan, thanks a lot Palpatine!
Space Sword!
Nine years after first posting a want ad on here, I am finally reunited with my beloved Space Sword. This is all thanks to Mark from the soon to be open Dr Tongues I Had that shop in Portland Oregon. Mark saw my plea and sold me his childhood space sword. The quest is over […]
1979 Craftmaster Poster Art Catalog
Poster and marker sets were one of my favourite ways to spend an afternoon as a kid (cause that’s about how long the markers would last). I also recently have become invested in tracking down all the ones I had as a kid. Craftmaster had all the best licenses in the late 70s which included […]
