Every year I find it difficult to get into the Christmas spirit (life is always hectic and moving so fast) but this helped. :)Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978517118599802301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-12568383801284171202017-12-23T17:38:47.678-05:002017-12-23T17:38:47.678-05:00I loved my missing link.

It's a gift to have relatives like this. Found a similar cache three years ago while clearing out my dad's estate... he'd saved every Christmas card I'd ever, ever given him all the way back to the first ones "I" gave him written by my mom.<br /><br />Smart move cutting out the ads, btw. That can mean the difference between getting Shockwave, the Decepticons' Military Operations Commander or stuff like Radio Shack's "Galactic Man" aka. KayBee Toys' "Robot Pistol".<br />http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3xpFVEYCmiE/UtKM473gmJI/AAAAAAAACWY/FBlZqzJIG-I/s1600/IMG_0303.JPG<br /><br />Little kids can be awful franchise junkies and, in their defense, classic Transformers had incredibly cool box graphics. <br /><br />While they're both great toys, Galactic Man's trigger location was... embarrassing... to say the least, particularly when noticed by older and more worldly cousins. After that, it's "can't unsee" in the worst possible way. The photographers working for Radio Shack moved heaven and earth, used every trick of perspective to minimize the damage on the box art, but they weren't there on Christmas morning. <br /><br />http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p214/Autobot_prime1979/IMG_0587.jpg<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-78432524193207556242017-12-22T09:09:56.550-05:002017-12-22T09:09:56.550-05:00You were quite the little "marketer" ......You were quite the little "marketer" ... included graphics and everything :)Wendyveehttp://www.roadsidewonders.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-7993045279408557972017-12-22T07:47:55.222-05:002017-12-22T07:47:55.222-05:00...Smurfs...SmurfsJamie Ghionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508410672881133235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-89287558623627400002017-12-22T07:47:28.136-05:002017-12-22T07:47:28.136-05:00Smurfit !
