    Started to not watch thinking it would be boring. Nope, drew me in wanting to buy all the 80's toys now and wanting to relive my childhood! Thank you for memory lane.

      Glad you enjoyed it. When I was flipping through it remembering things I had long forgotten I thought it would be fun to share with everyone.

    Can't wait til you find '84 or '85 catalogs....more vintage lines will fill up the pages to be in awe of. Great video, thanks.

    Yes. 1981. 6 year old me thanks you for this memory. Me and my grandfather would play Super Breakout for hours on the 2600. So I would have to say that game for favorite just for the memories alone.

    This catalog is one of my fav finds ... it’s been so fun to flip thru. And yep... I actually had to resist the urge to grab a marker and start circling things I wanted for Christmas!!

    We circled what we wanted every year I think until middle school:) I was all about strawberry shortcake!

    Thank you for doing this,what a nice escape for me this Christmas!My uncle was an avid toy collector,his entire basement was finished with wall to wall glass display cabinets loaded with everything you could imagine.I remember spending time with him while he worked on model cars and I would go through those SEARS catalogs that he had and we would chat about toys.He passed away several years ago,my dad a couple years ago and my mother just passed this year so this is my first Christmas without all of them.This brought back very warm Christmas memories of all of them,thank you again so much.

      Aww J Robb .... I hope you’re doing good through these holidays and reflecting on the happy times. I know it’s hard. My mom has been gone 7 years now and I still miss her terribly. I’m glad this catalog cheered you some!!!

      Thank you so much,this was very good of you to take time to reply!I'm sorry to know of your loss as well.We had several inches of snow for Christmas morning here in Ohio,reminded me of all those Christmas mornings as a child surrounded by Star Wars toys and Transformers!

    I had the 1981 Sears Christmas Edition Wish book because I’ve found it back on EBay a couple of years ago and looking through this book really brings back so many childhood memories since I love looking through the toy section because they still had The Star Wars collection way before G.I. Joe & The Transformers plus all of the models in the book were then young during that time & I sometimes have dreams about this catalog since it been lost to time since it was thrown out for trash due to mold since its been in the basement .

    My favourite toy line is the original G1 My Little Pony. I still have the ones me and my sisters had along with about 150 more. I have about half of the North American release.

    My favorite for TimeWise is about 30-40 minutes for picking and preferably live for unboxings so that way we can ask questions ...

    Funny, there is full representation in that catalogue, before 2016 when it was invented on twitter
    We did the same in the uk with the Argos catalogue, spending hours looking at toys we wanted

    Ahhh the toys. Me and my siblings would argue over who got to look first. I was the youngest, i always lost. We would write everything down including prices and page numbers! Our lists were long. 😁🍭🎄

    Wow, D&D in the Sears catalog. That would be right around the time my interests moved from Star Wars to RPG’s. I was 13. I do remember getting that Jeep slot car set with the flexible road section. The last Star Wars ship I got was the Snow Speeder, probably Christmas 80. My figure line ended part way through ESB, but over the years I have completed the Empire line, loose.
