Same here. The Consumers catalogue was where I used to drool over crappy, digital watches too. When I got my first Casio Calculator in like 82 or 83, I felt like such a boss. Saved on my flyer route for a couple months, and the anticipation of going after school with my mom to fill out that order slip and take it to the counter was torture. And they actually had it in stock! So this one is strictly for nostalgia sakes. I think that thing was like 60 bucks back then. Then in the late 80's early 90's I was all about the Timex Ironmans, and Atlantis 100's.
You remember that "personal massager" that always made an annual appearance in that catalogue? lol
