What? How old are you?

What? How old are you?

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 live in NY but I never got the wish books in the mail nor have I seen one in person . The only adds I remember are the Jc penny's or the one for toys are us.

Oh. Well, the Wishbook Catalogs are amazing.

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

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.
