The Toys R Us gift book was amazing!

I probably spent days looking at them as a kid and probably look at them way too often now.

So many of these items would've found their way onto my wish list. I would've been especially interested in the Commodore 64, but the addition of the disk drive made it out of reach.

A drive alluded me for so many years. I saved and saved, but I could never maintain the discipline to get it on my own.

Great stuff man -- always appreciate the work you put into these posts. Is this an item you had saved or something you refound along the way?

Re-found and it was in rough shape. I have one other from the 80s that I held onto and a few more that I have just picked up over the years.

Man, that was comforting. Thank you.

I remember spending days just reading the Sears Wish Book like it was high literature.
