Sears doesn't have branches outside North America, so the Wishbook catalogues are not available outside the US or Canada. I think Rider of the storm is from somewhere else!

My Mom-in-law has stacks of old catalogues, Penney's, Sears, etc. dating way back to the early 80's - I've begged her to hold on to them for me!

I'm also craving Piggly Wiggly Greenbax Catalogs... they always had a few pages of toys and I got some stuff from them...

Post by: manateejaq on Tuesday 11 January 2011, 03:08 am: That's awesome! I loved paging through wish books before Christmas and circling all the stuff I wanted. ^^ I'd love to see some pages from the 90's books! There is a website that has a whole bunch of wish books scanned, but nothing past 1988.

Post by: MissAliRae on Tuesday 11 January 2011, 03:38 am: Ah I love Wishbooks! Although looking through them now makes me lament all the cool things I will probably never be able to find, haha. Can't wait to see pics of yours EdenEye!

Post by: EdenEye on Tuesday 11 January 2011, 05:12 am: Speaking of cool things I cannot find. I was looking through the catalogues and found a really cool alarm clock shaped like a robot! Loved it! But can'thave it :(

Post by: zuse on Tuesday 08 March 2011, 04:09 am: Hey, is there any LPS stuff in the non-toy areas. Like, are there any pictures of Littlest Pet Shop sleeping bags, duffels, sleep tents, etc.?
Title: Re: WishBook Catalogues!
Post by: EdenEye on Tuesday 08 March 2011, 06:19 am: I'm not sure, I will check!
Title: Re: WishBook Catalogues!
Post by: zuse on Wednesday 09 March 2011, 06:09 am: Did you get a chance to look?

I know that I've tried asking around to get my hands on some catalogs as well! I just refuse to pay shipping so it's going to have to be somewhere that I can pick them up locally.

Post by: EdenEye on Friday 11 March 2011, 05:42 am: Hi Zuse, I took a look through all my catalogs today. They all have pages sleeping bags, duffels, and tents but none that are LPS. There is very little LPS throughout all the books actually.
