2369ArticleMr MagicI like fye a lot because they have movies that stores around here don't have. Shows like Kimba the White Lion, DBZ and Hamtaro increased my interest in anime, while movies like Grave of the Fireflies and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya helped as well. Anime has grown on me. Jul 08, 2015View
2370ArticlepikachuloverSamurai Pizza Cats was funny my mom got into it a little. Where I live it took over Sailor Moon's old time slot so a lot of people were pissed about that and they expected me to hate it too. I was a closet fan of the pizza cats. Suncoast was expensive. I bought a few anime things there. Remember buying a Sailor Moon backpack there and some Sailor Moon trading cards. The one at the local mall didn't have a very good selection of manga.

2371ArticleHoju KoolanderGreat story. Contests and Sweepstakes were awesome as a kid, especially to toy store runs, but I also just love treasured shirts of childhood. I had a shirt that said Pope Tour on it, listing all the destination cities for Pope John Paul II. I'm not Catholic, he was just a pop culture icon to me. I finally broke down and bought one on eBay a few years back. Doesn't even fit, but I love it.Retro-graphic Evidence: Xardion Lives!Jul 09, 2015View
2372ArticleoniparThanks, Hoju! I agree, and I still enter as many as many as I can. It's too much fun not to. Ah, cool shirt! I only have a few left from my childhood.Retro-graphic Evidence: Xardion Lives!Jul 10, 2015View
2373ArticleRick Ace RhodesIt seems to me that no one ever had that USS Flagg play set. Every article I have ever read regarding that thing has always had the article writer saying "I wish I had that as a kid."Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A KidJul 10, 2015View
2375ArticleVaporman87Ahhh... the USS Flagg. No kid I ever knew DIDN'T want that behemoth sitting in their room. I am certain I listed that one a few times on Christmas, but never got it. That and Metroplex (from Transformers). I did own a Lazer Tag set, and let me ease your conscience by saying it did not live up to the hype. The sensor/gun combo was not very accurate or effective. There would be times when you KNEW you aimed perfectly, but a hit would not register. Of course this was early on in the technology of "laser tag" gaming, so that's to be expected. I should also mention that in the Goldbergs episode where Adam gives up all his toys, his prized possession is, of course, the USS Flagg. Lucky Adam. Great read Mickey! All good stuff.Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A KidJul 10, 2015View
2376ArticlepikachuloverI never had Hit Stix either. I forgot about them for a while until I found an old tape from 1988 with a commercial for them on it. They bought up a lot of ad time. Now I can practically sing the jingle from memory. Then I remembered kids who had them took them to the local mall and played them on things in the mall like the railings and stuff. I wanted a rock tumbler and never got one. I also wanted a sewing machine and a small pottery wheel. Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A KidJul 10, 2015View
2377Articleechidna64Ah one of my friends had the exact same chemistry set. I always wanted one. I believed that at age 7 I could become a mad scientist and create potions like Erkel Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A KidJul 10, 2015View
2378ArticleVaporman87@echidna: LOL. I used to believe that one day I would create a robot companion... out of cardboard. Also, I was pretty certain I could fly for just a split second whenever I jumped off the couch.Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A KidJul 10, 2015View
2379ArticleHoju KoolanderSuncoast Video was the best source for weird/rare videos in the 90's, loved that store! Never got into anime outside of The Guyver, but Ranma 1/2 always got a lot of press, so I was aware of it. Anime memoriesJul 11, 2015View
