Free Inside Specially Marked Boxes Vol. 5 - Cap’n Crunch’s BloBots!


As I mentioned in my last post, I was inspired to return to my blog due in part to a recent purchase. That purchase has arrived and I’m breaking it into two posts. For the first, I’m looking at some more cheap plastic robots pulled from boxes of cereal in the 80’s. These don’t transform, but they do blow bubbles! Behold, Quaker’s BloBots!

Free Inside Specially Marked Boxes Vol. 4 - Kellogg’s Starbots!


It only took several years and then a month and a half of being “safe at home” for me to return to the world of blogging. Honestly, I was inspired to return by both a lack of reading material at my usual blog haunts and a recent purchase that has yet to arrive. When it does, I plan on featuring it on the blog. Until then, let’s have a look at another set of cereal premiums from the glorious 1980s - Kellogg’s Starbots!

Free Inside Specially Marked Boxes Vol. 3 - McDonald’s Young Astronauts Premiums!


In this edition, I stray from the cereal aisle to those other boxes that contained free, plastic toys that we all wanted so badly - the McDonald's Happy Meal.

I now have in my possession a nearly complete set of the 1986 Young Astronauts premiums. Cheap plastic spaceships I loved as a kid and for some reason (the brain is a mysterious thing) I needed to have again. Let's take a look...
