Thank you!!!! :D :D

The Good Old Days
 

I know :( - I'm afraid nothing will ever quite capture that same type of magic again.

Except maybe looking these old catalog pages over again....or if we could just get her up to 88 mph ;)

Oh man, that takes one back... to the time when I was a ten years old kid, browsing through those catalogs... They did catalogs with big dios like that for five years in a row, and it was those that really got me hooked on the toys. I've still got them all (and often multiple copies too). Good times...

19 days 'till Christmas, and I it's too bad that Sears doesn't sell time machines. ;)

I just watched/skimmed through this movie on Netflix - he sure did have a lot of Joes - like 3 Thunders and 2 Dragonflys! It was cute how he put camo on Max the dog's forehead! :)

I found them!
 

After a month I found the '80s european Hasbro pictures I was writing about:

A lot of pics!

NJ comes through again!!
 

Wow - the first link really makes the Sky Patrol vehicles look cool and the second link is even better showcasing the mean dog & those little single-serve dios with Mercer & Storm Shadow, The IMPs on the bridge, The Hydro-Viper hide-out!

Thank you SOOOOOO much NJ!!! Christmas came a few days early for me - I'll be sifting through these bad boys for hours! Thanks again so much!! - A true rare find these are! :D

There's some scans of stuff like that at this largely unknown Netherlands website...
