Original Goodies
Page At the start of the campaign we compiled all the merchandise we could find onto this one page until it became far too big for most computers at the time. (RAM was limited and expensive in those days!) So we started to make separate pages for each new goodie (all listed above)! Meanwhile, most of these products are no longer available but they're still fun to search for on ebay and other such sites! |
