| 3751 | Article | Lazlo | I was in my own little world in the mid 90s, and just not into popular culture. After reading this, I just have to check out The Head and The Maxx . . . I'll look it up on Youtube and see if there are DVD sets out there. Both seem right up my alley, all weird and trippy. | Feb 13, 2017 |  | |
| 2353 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was probably not as big a "mail-in" nut as you, but I know that I was always ecstatic when something arrived in the mail box that I knew was the result of my efforts to get such items. Typically from cereal boxes, but sometimes from toys and other products. The hardest part was the wait. You would be so excited for something, mail out the necessary documents, and then expect your prize to arrive an hour later. It didn't take long for me to simply forget I had even made the effort at all. Then, like six weeks later, there would be the prize. That excitement would instantly come back, and just make may day. | Retro-graphic Evidence: Xardion Lives! | Jul 06, 2015 | |
| 2357 | Article | massreality | Man, I hated that six-eight week turn around for stuff you ordered back then. | Retro-graphic Evidence: Xardion Lives! | Jul 07, 2015 | |
| 2359 | Article | pikachulover | I would always send away for Koolaid points stuff and occasionally enter contests, but I usually never won anything. | Retro-graphic Evidence: Xardion Lives! | Jul 07, 2015 | |
| 2367 | Article | onipar | Yeah, the wait was killer. Probably partly why I entered so many things. I won quite a few contests back in the day. I won a Wolverine figure through the Fox Kid's Club, and a grand prize from Nickelodeon. I actually still have those prizes too. Perhaps the topic of a future article? :-) | Retro-graphic Evidence: Xardion Lives! | Jul 08, 2015 | |
| 2371 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Great 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, 2015 | |
| 2372 | Article | onipar | Thanks, 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, 2015 | |
| 2347 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Great subject and memories. I always dreamed of a treehouse as well. We even had a gigantic tree in our backyard I thought would have been perfect, but the trunk was so tall, the nearest branches were like 25 feet off the ground in the "danger zone". I had to settle for "building" a fort in the bushes at the base of a large tree in our front yard, but it wasn't the same. | Castles of Yesteryear | Jul 04, 2015 | |
| 2346 | Article | Vaporman87 | I loved reading this. I'm reminded of my own attempts to build my kingdom within the woods behind our house. Actually, it was more of a theme park than a kingdom. I would "build" attractions from the trees and various scraps of wood and such. Then I would clear a path using a rake, making trails to each attraction. Then I would name each attraction and put up signage in the form of paper and ink. There was an old tree stand in our woods, but I never attempted to reach it. It was very high up, and I wasn't big on heights. Our grade school playground would have delighted you. Everything made of heavy metal, rusting away. Our merry-go-round was old and withering-the wooden floor cracked and covered in 50 coats of paint. Old wooden teeter-totters that sat WAY too high in the air (and could really cause some damage when your partner thought it would be fun to quickly disembark. Yeah, it had a lot of character. I am glad for the advances in outdoor play equipment, for the safety of my own children. But I would be lying if I said I don't miss the old castles of yesteryear. | Castles of Yesteryear | Jul 02, 2015 | |
| 2385 | Article | mickyarber | Love this article. Like everyone else, I wanted a tree house to play in, but my problem was lack of trees. Now, my daughters are wanting one. Guess I should see about getting started and maybe live vicariously through them. That or make it sturdy enough for Pops to get up there and play with them. Hope to see more from you. | Castles of Yesteryear | Jul 12, 2015 | |
