Lunch time in Canada, 1980s edition! While our friends in the U.S. rocked the classic tin lunch boxes, we had those bright plastic Thermos ones with the latch & sticker decals. A few trips through the sink and—bam—the sticker was gone. That’s why these Canadian lunch boxes are so collectible today!

#SuperBlogTeamUp presents “In Time” where the gang discusses obscure time travel stories in comics. I break down when Jonah Hex, was ripped from the Old West and hurled into a neon-soaked, Mad Max-style nightmare of the 21st century. Yes it’s 1985s DC cult classic series: #HEX. Link in comments.

Hmmmmm… I wonder what the inspiration for #Seeker3000 was? I just can’t place it!! With a design like that I bet that crew could boldly go where no man has gone before!

"This is it"..the Looney Tunes theme song.
🎶 Overture, curtains, lights
This is it, the night of nights,
No more rehearing or nursing a part
We know every part by heart!
Overture, curtains, lights
This is it, you’ll hit the heights
And Oh what heights we’ll hit
On with the show this is it! 🎶
🎶 Overture, curtains, lights
This is it, the night of nights,
No more rehearing or nursing a part

This is it, you’ll hit the heights
And Oh what heights we’ll hit
On with the show this is it! 🎶

It’s funny that a decaying animatronic would give me such sadness. I have special memories of #ETTheExtraTerrestrial movie as a kid. It was warm and full of heart. Seeing one of the original #ET machines in such bad shape is just another reminder of the importance of embracing your good memories!

Library Day in middle school was always exciting for me. Discovering authors that resonated with the High School experience was always a win..#GordonKorman was one of those with his #MacDonaldHall series of books. If you know someone who enjoys 80s YA books, these are classics sure to deliver!

Some of the funnest toys of the 80s and 90s were the off brand 3rd party toys like #Megadons. I had the RRAC (Affectionately known as the Rhino Rammer!) and used it exclusively with #MastersOfTheUniverse toys! Great times! These Mechanized Battle Carriers actually moved!!!

Many of us grew up in or around the video game eras. In my day you were either a #Nintendo person or a #Sega person..later we would toss #Sony and #Microsoft into the fray. There were arguments to be had for either. However I never wanted to be the #GameWave kid. Getting a kid that was criminal!

Scholastic book orders always had many books I wanted but often I would default to magazine style books like Dynamite or it's step child Hot Dog! These books were always on the pulse of what kids were digging back then!

There are many collectables I wish I paid more attention to and M.U.S.C.L.E. fits that bill! A full set of figures with a new Hard Knocking Rocking Ring Wrestling Arena are my current hunt!

As a kid in the 80s growing up on #Arcade gaming, #Atari, #computer games (at my friend's house cause no one really had a computer back then!!) and the #NES how could you not be excited for gaming magazines like these? So much fun and worlds of secrets unlocked inside these pre-internet treasures!

There are random books I had in my childhood collection that I had no idea how I acquired them.. such as #OrangesAndUFOs
Synopsis: "They saw the shimmering silver disk, vanishing into the clouds. Bill & Harold thought it was a joke - until they found themselves a zillion miles from earth."
Timely!
