There is no better time capsule into 1970s pop culture than a rack toy catalog especially if it’s one by Fleetwood toys. ’79 is a great example as the company had some fantastic choices, from the TV cop antics of Vega$, Chips and Starsky and Hutch, to the less popular How the West was won. […]
One of my favourites from my burgeoning collection of such things. Do you think if I write my address and tomorrow’s date on this in magic marker, that they’ll show up and spend the day with me? Send me your mall appearance photos!
In this installment, Jason and Brain wax nostalgic over the days when we didn’t get spoiled by three Superhero movies a Summer.

These awesome bed sheets depicting nothing but classic golden age DC characters were sold in Canada during the early 1970s. It’s one of the things I keep my eyes open for at thrift stores as they are highly collectible. I’ve even found a set of the curtains before, whatever kid had them, he sure liked […]
