@futureboy3@RICHY531 is that the same as the DAK catalog? This came up in a discussion of old audio gear and fun things from the 1980s, and if you dig around there are some archived PDFs of old catalogs.
Just like this site, every item came with a full-page story that may or may not have much to do with the actual product, and might involve, let’s say, embellishments at times.
My christmas tree is from Kmart. This was probably its last year. All I’ll have to remember Kmart will be the customer loyalty card on my keychain. Just like the real Toys R Us.
@jaybird are they closed? Haven’t been to one in years. I understand it was supposed to be mostly “healthy” food but the whole all-you-can-eat thing didn’t work for me (and my gut) anymore.
Speaking of Toys-R-Us, they were fun but my days of Lego accumulation are mostly over. They had a good selection and some exclusive stuff. Also video games and Amibos.
Funny thing is that the closed Toys-R-Us location, where I used to buy Lego cars, became a Tesla dealer where I went to pick up a real car!
Any defunct BUSINESS, eh? Doesn’t have to be a chain?
Damark catalog.
@futureboy3 YES!!
