Man, those were the days....Anyone else remember the Montgomery Ward catalogs ? - They offered the Mego alter-ego exclusives. They included Grayson, Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker and Clark Kent......

Just bought a 1962 Montgomery Ward wish book. It's a year or two older than the ones I remembered but many, if not most of the same toys.

That reminds me so much of childhood - where everything was mail order...., from catalogs and stuff.  No internet.

For sure. I remember mailing away for Hooded Cobra Commander (and Sgt. Slaughter, and the Fridge, etc.) and every time it was a "6 to 8 weeks" wait. My God. It was an eternity!

Your post made me think of those Topps Baseball and Football sticker albums in the 80's.  I think the packs came with 6 stickers and were 20 or 25 cents each and made in Italy. You could order alla carte the specific stickers you were missing to complete the album. Remember like yesterday writing out my grocery list and double checking before mailing it out. It was over the top excitement when that envelope came back with the stickers

What I remember about these is lusting after all the army sets!   I think I got my last version of Battleground around 1973-1975ish.

I don't know...I'd be mad if that showed up in my mailbox - the postal service just trashed it...no better than a 4.0

Well...the package finally arrived today.

As it turns out, it wasn't the comic book...it was the auction catalogue.

Comic book still not sent  

I believe an inquiry will be in order...

In the meantime, I think I'll thumb through this catalogue to look for other books I can win and not get.

That’s hilarious.

I've been told some of those old catalogues contained pictures of women's undergarments.
