Lovely lyrics there Brian ! Don't mind if you sing along.

>>>Hot Wheels Pro Racing reel set ?
Rugrats stuff ?
Jello stock cars ?<<<

Never seen them or heard of them over here.

We haven't got any Kay Bee, KMart and FAO Schwartz in the Netherlands.
Yes, the are a couple of Toys'R'Us shops around but if you go in and
ask for some Viewmaster stuff, they're gazing at you as if you just
came creeping from under a big rock after a heavy rain-shower.

There are a couple of shops that supply VM. Standard VM viewer with
sample reel for around $10. Or a viewer with a blistered 3-reel
package, Mutant Teenage Turtles, for $15. Pretty steep in my opinion.

Hey, these viewers can be obtained at garage sales and junk markets
for 10c to 50c. So why bother. But where have all the reels gone ?
Sometimes I'm lucky. Couple of weeks ago I found a Bakelite viewer
with a total of 21 (scenery) reels for $7.50

Cheers and thanks for your time,

Peter

All $ prices are equivalents of the Dutch f.
