What I'd give to be able to order from that catalogue today.

It's a 1984 catalogue for an American chain, featuring Transformers, GIJOE, Star Wars, Rainbow Brite, and a ton more.

To see the full-size pages, click on a page, then right-click and select 'Original' for sizes.

Enjoy!!

Enjoy is an understatement. Thank you Cat.

Megatron for $21. :) I'll just pull out my flux capacitor and travel back to 1984. Pay for Megs with all the one and two cent pieces in my piggy bank. Hell, I'll buy two Megs.

Cheers, just waiting to work out a deal with the guy now

All good, did all the Megs legality research when getting my MP Megs a while back, it's in Aus :)

That's very cool!

As part of a charity drive at work I've volunteered to buy a gift for an underpriviledged child and intend to gift a Transformer as part of my evil plot to have everyone in the world be 'into' Transformers.

Unfortunately the "Boy age 7-11" age bracket was already taken so I went for the "Boy age 4-7" bracket. While I've gifted deluxes and voyagers to relatives of this age bracket before I was comfortable doing this because I was familiar with their aptitude levels and the fact they were big TF fans already.

Basically, any recommendations for TF toys that are currently out in general retail that are suitable for a 4-7 year old boy?:confused: While I'm sure the organisers will apply rationality to whom they allocate gifts to I would like to err on the side of caution and get something suitable for even a 4 year old.

I would check out the Rescue Bots Options, or a couple Cyberverse Legions at a stretch.

Rescue bots! Completely forgot about them! In fact I have a brand new playset sitting idle in my spare room that was meant to be a dirty santa gift this year. I shall repurpose it into an actual Christmas gift for an actual child :D

I have never seen a Rescue Bots toy in person, who sells them in Australia?

Target?

I've bought some from Target and some from Myers. They're not easy to find though and not cheap either. :(

I know TRU stocks them, but there price tags aren't very friendly

For those following my Universal Studios order, to my surprise, I missed an attempted Fed Ex delivery today, which was that package.

That's......fast shipping. Lightning fast shipping.

Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow then.

Amusingly, it seems like barely any of us knew about the existence of the Universal Florida webstore, as after I told a bit of my story on another big global TF board, a thread was started about the existence of the site. So I'm wondering if the site itself is fairly new.
