Toy catalogs from the Seventies and Eighties are filled with treasures. I really enjoy browsing them and looking at the toys I received and just dreamed about as a kid. The 1979 JC Penney Christmas Catalog came out at an interesting time. The video game market was just starting to find itself, electronic toys were maturing, and Star Wars was revolutionizing everything. So many types of toys were so brand new that almost every toy page had something that wasn’t in the 1978 catalog.
