    Totally trippy flashback...
    I love retro catalogue images like that.

    "Gudday"? Is that the Kiwi version of "G'day"?

    (the image host, when you click on the images to go to the source, doesn't appear to screen out its random inserted advertising, as one of them was certainly not suitable for kiddies...)
    (now everyone is going to go and try to find it)

    Nice. I really enjoy looking through old catalogues and reminiscing Mirage looks especially good next to Blurrr

    I like the strategic placement of the toyworld bears left foot.

    Hehe. Gudday.

    Things I noticed was - Omega's price back in 1986 was pretty surprising and obviously Toyworld NZ did their own photography (Blurr facing the wrong way, a couple of slight mistransformations).

    I have never before realised the Toyworld bear is completely starkers.

    Good to see the old scans, I used to have a small box full catalogues featuring transformers about 20 in total but my mum threw them out....

    $110 for Omega Supreme... that seems quite high, especially considering that I paid slightly less than that for my Encore.

    Love looking at old toy catalogues
