| 3914 | Article | fuschnikt | I remember trying so hard to draw that first shadowy image. It was not very good. I also remember owning two figures. After crushing hundreds upon hundreds of cans with my dad, he gave me a cut of the recycling proceeds in the form of Dick Tracy. I would later get The Tramp, because I liked that he came with a knife and a plank. I often chose my figures based on the accessories. Man..now I really want to rip open some Tracy wax packs. | May 31, 2017 |  | |
| 3786 | Article | NLogan | I never bought anything from the ads but I read them all. Monster door posters, gags, etc all looked pretty cool. I just never thought it would be worth it. Now I wish I had. | Halftone Wonders | Mar 21, 2017 | |
| 3787 | Article | jkatz | Look at how all the x-ray goggles listings make sure to use words like "apparently"and "seemingly". Is it just recycled copy, or are they trying to protect themselves from a false advertising lawsuit? Great article btw! I wonder what happened to all the junk that they never ended up selling-is it still in a warehouse somewhere in Jersey? | Halftone Wonders | Mar 21, 2017 | |
| 3790 | Article | Hoju Koolander | To answer your question, I totally mailed away for my Olympic sales kit and managed one sale of Christmas cards to my friend's Mom before giving up my dreams​ of earning enough points for a rock tumbler. I also ordered some novelty pranks like Rattlesnake Eggs and the mouse trap chewing gum pack. I used to love the Things You Never Knew Existed and Can't Possibly Live Without catalog as well. During the 90s comic book boom Mile High opened a location in Anaheim, CA that was massive. I loved going through that store and even got some "Collectors Item" comics from an in store auction. | Halftone Wonders | Mar 22, 2017 | |
| 3802 | Article | shakin steak | Hey NLogan, no kidding! I wonder what one of those $1.00 Marvel membership cards would go for on eBay now. A lot more than a buck, I bet! jkatz -- I'm sure they did that for legal reasons. As far as the new-old stock...probably long dispersed by now, if there even was much made and unsold in the first place. I don't guess there was a lot, but I could be wrong. | Halftone Wonders | Mar 26, 2017 | |
| 3803 | Article | shakin steak | Hoju Koolander! Thanks for reply. I know what you mean about giving up dreams... there was a song in grade school chorus that was really inspirational. I tried to realistically figure out how I could get enough money to accomplish my dream of obtaining enough money ($90) to buy a Gameboy... I gave up on that pretty quick, lol | Halftone Wonders | Mar 26, 2017 | |
| 3806 | Article | Vaporman87 | I could literally spend hours perusing those ads, but only after I had completed reading the comic. I don't know if I ever sent in for anything though. Sending thing through the mail seemed like an iffy proposition to me in my youth. I never quite understood the process, and whether or not it was reliable. I did manage to sign myself up for a comic subscription or two that way though. | Halftone Wonders | Mar 29, 2017 | |
| 3810 | Article | shakin steak | Ha Vaporman funny I was the same way. I totally ignored the ads on the first readthrough and many subsequent, but as my options were limited they eventually got my attention. You have kids, how would this stuff play today? And what, if anything, do they think of ads on their iDroids and social medias or whatever they like to look at nowadays? | Halftone Wonders | Mar 30, 2017 | |
| 3816 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | Cool article Hoju. I was a huge Power Rangers junkie back in the day. I was more into the later Saban seasons though. I would say my craze was more from In Space to Time Force. After Time Force and the series now being controlled by Disney, it just didn't feel the same. After that the only series I really got into was SPD. And you wanna talk about price gouging? Try getting older Power Rangers toy now and days. Just getting a brand new in box regular figure will set you back an $50. The Megazords are even worse, with new in box versions going for hundreds of dollars. | RJ Classics: Power Rangers Memories | Apr 03, 2017 | |
| 3820 | Article | jkatz | I sadly missed the boat on the Power Rangers craze back in the day, though I probably had a few toys here and there. What I do enjoy nowadays is old episodes of Kamen Rider, a cousin of sorts to the series. | RJ Classics: Power Rangers Memories | Apr 03, 2017 | |
