People late 20's and older..the Sears Wishbook

I had a Knight Rider big wheel

I had one of these. My favorite catalog as a little boy.

You guys are young. When I was a kid, It was 12" GI Joes, Stretch Armstrong dolls, Kenner SSP Smash Up Derby, and board games like Trouble, Sorry and Mouse Trap. Also, in Canada, the main catalogs a kid poured over during Christmas was the Sears Wishbook and the Consumers Distributing catalog.

Maybe we're all blocking out the bad parts of the Sears Wishbook:

My older brother had a Charlie McCarthy doll. I thought it was creepy.

Great thread. Thanks for the links and the memories everyone.

Definitely remember that wishbook. Have not seen one in years but remember it well.
Sears seems like a dying breed around here. Stores always barren and empty.

I tried to click the last few catalogs several times and u keep getting a white screen. Probably not compatible with iOS Safari.
