Another one of the many joys of childhood was browsing through the various x-mas catalogs, picking out what we wanted Santa to bring us that year. I guess Mom had a direct line to the old Jolly One, by just calling the department stores number that was in the catalog! Anyway...many hours were also spent drooling over the Micronauts toys featured there in. And the drooling still continues to this day, just looking at what the original prices were for these little plastic guys...and knowing what they are today! Man, I wish I would have ordered that Montgomery Ward's exclusive blue Galactic Cruiser when I had the chance...

 
Here are some images from the Sears Christmas wish books. Note the Satelitte survey Station that was a Sears catalog exclusive.
 
 

 

 
From a 1979 Wish book you can see the Rocket Tubes with launching pad, that was alos a Sears Exclusive. Wow...$49.97 was still allot for this toy, even back then...
