I still have my monkeys. That's right. Squirrel monkeys now sell for 8k min.

Nice. But better if you mention the year they were advertised.

I got the xray glasses and the sub. 😂

I'm 68 years old and do you guys remember the SEARS catalog? There were 7 kids in our family and we would have to take turns looking at the toy section in the catalog. Never got anything out of it but it was always fun to look at.

Oh, the mammaries, I mean the memories.

I remember fearing alligators in the sewers as a kid in the 80s 😂. What if one comes up the toilet when I’m sitting on it?!?

I ordered a chameleon lizard which came with free mealworms. Upon opening the small cardboard box, my expectations were shattered seeing the poor thing 3/4 eaten due to improper packaging. The gimmick part of this purchase was that they sent you a Anole lizard rather that the color changing chameleon that they advertised. Shoulda went with the monkey I guess 🐵

My favorite was Bob Hound thanks for this video

I bought the 7' Frankenstein's monster for $1.25. $1 for the monster and 25¢ p&h. I really expected a 3D life-size Frank; but it was only a vinyl poster, with little glow-in-the-dark stickers to stick on its eyes. Oooohhh hooooo hooooo hooooo ho! Very scary. And very big disappointment.

I had the sea monkeys and the x-ray specs. And I also fell for the ventriloquist device and an accordion that turned out to be a plastic toy. I want my money back!

do you have an OnlyFans XXX site? if no, YOU SHOULD!

I had the submarine two days later it came of rain. Barn barrel for that submarine

I can remember buying X ray specs when I was about 10 , oh was that a disappointment 🤣🤣🤣

For most of these, there should have been an "imagination required" warning 😂

Yep, I bought spy camera, X-ray glasses, giant balloon.. Connected spy camera to a kite and an additional string to the shutter release and made some areal pictures... Also bought stink bomb, smoke bomb, and cigarette loads...

Faltaram as versões fantasmas dos caça-fantasmas. José caça-vivos. Excelente pesquisa e vídeo. Sucesso para ti!

TEMU took over

Monkey

That 6 foot skeleton was nothing but a cheap, thin plastic glow in the dark poster. I bought a toy gun from a comic book and all it was was a tiny key chain gun that shot one of those plastic caps.

In first grade, in 67, a kid brought a Cayman baby crocodile and the dang thing bit the teacher in the finger. I loved growing up.!!!!

Living in Australia back in the 60s saved me from all this BS even though I wanted to buy so many of them. 😂😂

Sweet Boy!

Just found you tonight! You are very funny! Hope you are well, looks like you have stopped posting.

That shit was fun You are a fool, Not as cool as you think. lol

I had sea monkeys. They lasted way beyond the life they were supposed to have. They ALL swam in one direction. And I also had Grow Rocks...those were cool till they faded and died.

Temu before it was invented

Watchmojo

72 year young sixties monster kid, we loved that shit . Wyy put it down??

Were can I find some X-Ray specks??

"Guilty"

Dont laugh, Anthony Fauci paid his way through med school selling that crap.

😂😂 I wanted the coffin necklace when I was a kid!😂😂

I grew up in the 1960's. I ordered stuff like these from comic books. The 7' monster turned out to be a poster. I also bought the sea monkeys. They turned out to be brine shrimp.

2 monkeys please

I liked the tiny blue plastic army men.

Their parents had to know they were getting these monkeys where else would the kids get their money an actual live monkey in the mail how did they eat It must have felt pretty nice too

I was a sucker when I was a kid and I sent for that submarine I never even received it

The Dracula one would have been really cool if they actually sold what they advertised

I remember getting some itching powder which worked like a charm. I also got the army kit and still had some fun but they didn't match the packs of more realistic ones I could get at Woolworth's I might have purchased others with my allowance but none stand out like the powder and army kit.

SAVAGE MONDO BLITZERS .... I LOOOOOOOVED THESE!!!! MEMORY UNLOCKED

I WAS ROBBED!!! My parents wouldn’t let me get a monkey. Loved the comments of those who did tho. What a time to be alive.

I got an 'official' California ID card when I was 16 from Mad Magazine which looked real and worked perfectly until the week before my 21st birthday!

I got the tank. Assembled it myself. Lasted maybe 3 days then went the way of discarded refrigerator boxes which we used for forts and tanks.

#1 is crazy

Ah, but in those great days, kids had something that is sadly lacking in modern day kids…imagination!

You had to be a special type of low life to con children back in the day. I hope karma caught up with them eventually..

Laura, just stopped to say "hi, we miss you. I hope you are OK"

Right up there with the tent evangelists. Sounds so much like the ACME Factory from the Looney Toons cartoon Willey Coyote was always ordering stuff that never worked to catch the Road runner.

Yeah I'm 65 used to see them but most of the time they didn't get to Australia, I got a few things but generally not what you expected

Just Noticed the So called Hull Number on the cardboard Submarine is 743 🤣 I served onboard the real USS Louisiana SSBN (743) Ohio class Submarine. Thank God Electric Boat in Groton,CT didn't build the real one out of Card Board!
