Everything I ever ordered from the back of a comic book proved to be a rewarding and satisfying purchase. Actually, my parents wouldn't let me buy that shit, which is why I buy every cool looking thing on the internet.
Living in the UK, it was impossible to have the stuffed advertised shipped over, I think. Even the order forms with their "zip" codes instead on regular post code details were somehow exotic.
You can get Sea Monkeys all over the place now - x-ray spex too - but these ads crammed full of superbly illustrated tat really set the imagination racing.
