Yes it was ;) That was a very good Lucky Charms for St. Patrick's Day ;)

Here's this Commodore 64 Commercial :)

Computers have come a long way in just 40 years. Must be all that reverse engineered alien technology.

Yep, just about everything we have like that maybe reversed engineered :o

Oh yes, I sure recall the McDonald's Changeables. That commercial was quite dnady. They were pretty big to Me back then. I could only find of them in recent times and showcased'em a couple years ago in My special Go-Bot showcase in My Vintage Action Figure Topic :)

Holy cow, even McDonald's got in on this robot craving of the people as they had transforming food in their Happy Meals :o I believe I had many of them, possibly the whole set but as of right now I could only locate Turbo Cone. Yes, a transforming Ice Cream Cone :batshock: :wwlol: :smsmh:

Funny story how I got to that clip. We started watching Invasion of the Astro-Monster, and the Xiliens space ship made me think of the McDonald's Happy Meal space ships from the 80s that I loved, so I was looking up those commercials when I came across the Changeables. I'd forgotten about that completely animated commercia.

That's a very good piece of trivia there PB...cool that you were watching The Astro-Monster when that triggered you PB ;) Wow, I never seen that fun 1986 Chunkamania commercial with Jesse, Piper & Mr. Wonderful. That looked really delicious. I love chunky beef & meaty foods...I could go for that right now ;)

Here's this great fun 80s Commodore 64 commercial with a cool song & graphics :)

I vaguely recall Shrinky Dinks but they looked good.

Commodore 64 was big in Australia back in the 80s :!:

Crikey, those wacky Aussie sure did. Even in 1988!

I think I shared this before, so we'll do two today. I don't care. I had this game as a kid and loved it. They don't make things like this anymore!

Yep ;)

Yes, that's the ROTJ Game that I briefly showcased, it was so fun but I never saw that Interactive one before, that looked great ;)

Here's a variant from the other day...amazing to ask the competition :shock:
