The P.A.C.K on Clearance

[RSS]

Seeing this awesome (and now pretty darn rare) stuff marked down gives me the chills. When I was about ten or eleven, my mom took me to "Consumer's Distributing" a catalog showroom store. I wandered around and found a book marked "Clearance items" in it was pages from their 70s catalog including spreads of Big Jim P.A.C.K and Six Million Dollar Man items from four years previous. My mind was blown, it was my early childhood that I pretty much blocked out thanks to Star Wars.
I didn't buy any of that stuff but the idea of being able to buy vintage toys never left me, obviously...

It just makes me wish for a time machine.

sorry, but the reason there are laws against time travel is to prevent just that.

the economy is in a slump. What's to stop someone from going back in time when things were plentiful, bringing them back to a time when they were rare, and making a fortune?

I mean, I'd happily lend you my time machine, but it's illegal to use it for financial gain.

that, and someone shoved an orange into the intake, and blew the motor.
