Yup used to go to the one at Kennedy/Sheppard a lot. The excitement of finding out if your item was in stock was just too much

That catalogue carried 'personall massagers'.
yea, you know what I'm talking about....good for relieving tension...
I knew 2 people who worked in that store and whenever anyone ordered the phallus-shaped item, everyone in the back would come to see who bought it !!

Wow this catalogue was a kids dream come true. Got to window shop through a book. I remember they had all the GI JOE figures and vehicles pictured with scenery and all!
I cut up all the toys i wanted and put them in an envelope with a mailing address to Santa Claus in the North Pole. Turns out I only got a GI JOE tomahawk (a giant twin blade helicopter) Dropped it on the kitchen floor the first night and it shattered to pieces.

Oh man, i can't believe this was brought up. I had forgotten all about CD. Like many of you, as a kid i used scan through the entire catalogue and dream of the toys I was never going to get.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I totally agree with the excitement of finding out whether or not your item was in stock.
filling out those card things, bringing it up to the cash and seeing your item come out from the back... it was like christmas!... although the paying part... not so much..

They had the most awesome collection of LCD digital watches.
The memories are flooding back, like other have said, so many toys no boys would ever get..._______________

Nov 21st, 2006 11:08 AM #41I was wondering if anyone else remembered those. I had no idea what they were really used for for a long time. Originally Posted by mlc2000

I remember Consumers! haha, whenever I'd get bored, I'll flip through the magazine of things I'd wish I could have
I remember my dad taking me to buy a game for my Genesis when I was 9 or 10, spent a few minutes choosing between Mortal Kombat & Street Figher (went with MK ) ... also times when we'd tell them what we wanted and the guy would go to the back and bring out the item.
ahh...good times. Reply With Quote

Actually, I think it's a unique and effective way of doing business.
You don't have to have tons of items on display.
As long as you have nearly everything in stock, it will work; otherwise it won't.
I shopped there a couple of times - bought a calculator with metric conversion on it for about $55. Now you could buy the same calculator (if they have one) for about $10 probably._______________
