It took three months to arrive, and when it did, it was the most pathetic, useless stuffed Toucan!

I saved Bazooka Joe comics to get a free set of "walkie-talkies". I waited two months, and got two aluminum popsicle shaped things and a string, literally.

My best friend's 6' Frankenstein from the Johnson-Smith Company (comic book back covers) was a glow in the dark poster.

Billy Carsten's X-Ray Specs didn't do anything.

Childhood disappointments.
