I remember getting the first wave of these for my birthday and then the second wave were waiting for me on a Friday afternoon as my parents picked me up from school, good times.
drquest: I use to work at a Bugles Boys store back when malls were all the rage.
Drahken: Yeah, that’s the one. Man, it’s been a long time since I saw one of those. I had completely...
