I got mine at a local gas station & convenience store (this one had a Robotron arcade machine in it). They were printed with a Stars & Stripes motif (red, white, & blue). I actually still have that very pair. At it was, the 3-D on TV experience for me was not the most entertaining. I was definitely neither amazed nor thrilled. Cool memory though, and I have a souvenir!
Great memories and very cool that you held onto the glasses. Before they did this broadcast, they showed "Gorilla at Large" on another channel. I wanted to see that at the time, but we couldn't get the glasses before the broadcast. Hoping to watch that one next.
