To me, if it was on the show, it was part of the actual universe, and if it wasn't, I somehow had some sort of pre-savvy, adolescent notion about companies trying to sell kids as much shit as possible around X-mas time. Or maybe I was just a little pissant. Either way, it probably saved my parents some money (although it's possible it cost them more in time, searching around many different stores looking for one specific thing instead of just being able to grab anything off the shelf), but I don't know if they ever complained about it. And then we sold it all at a garage sale. How's that for foresight? Yeah, I had a rule about these types of toys too — I didn’t want anything that had not appeared on the show.
