Does anyone else remember the Consumers store chain? It was basically a waiting room with counters that had catalogs on them. You would search through and get the code for the item you wanted and go to the cashier window. They would have someone in the huge rear of the store then send up you item.

This is the only link I could find for a Consumers Catalog:

who’s naming who’s self? this isn’t a name, merely an online nickname. i don’t go around with a "hi, my name is pupitre" sticker affixed to my shirt.

I wore that costume for Halloween in Kindergarten…only without the booze.

I used to love Consumers Distributing. It was like ordering through a catalog only you got your stuff immediately. No pushy sales clerks. Without having to worry about displays they could pack alot of product into thier back warehouse. If they advertised an item as being for sale they always had it. I never left consumers empty handed as a kid. You want a new Cobra Khan, BAM, there it is. Snake Eyes version 3, CRACK, here ya go, Ewok Village playset. WHOOSH, all yours kid.
Not like today when you have to go to the manufacturers website just to find out whats available, then hit numerous Zellers, K-Marts, Wal-Marts and Sears(es) hoping to find the product you want. I wonder where the business model fell apart on Consumers Dist. No huge overhead in that business model. It was an entire Department store that could be run by five people, three cashiers and two warehouse guys and it was impossible to shoplift in.
CONSUMERS DISTRIBUTING RULES!!! WHOO!!! YAH!!!

I’m a poor poor sheltered person. this consumers distributing sounds like the holy grail I have almost always searched for! The only problem is that you have to look through almost everything to find what you want, or just the lack of impulse buying. That’s the only reason the big retailers beat everything else…impulse. DAMN DIRTY HUMANS AND THIER BAD HABBITS!

Consumers ruled! We had one near us growing up.

I agree with Goblin; how’d it fail?

I had the Hordak costume as a kid.

Hordak kicked all sorts of ass..

Chestnuts roasted by Bloodcat @ 04/25/2003 5:28 PM

the "consumers" store sounds like englands "argos".

but in argos, you look in the catalogue, fill out the form, and when you get to the till you wait 15 minutes before the wanker behind the counter tells you theyve run out of what ever you were buying.

Well, at least his breastplate is clearly labeled "He-man" so he can find it in the morning.

With all the chestplates in Eternia, nametags became essential.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 04/25/2003 8:45 PM

I also remember Consumers. My mom went there quite often and I used to browse the cataloges even if I wasn’t able to get anything. I think a good portion of my Star Wars collection from that time came from there. I miss it.

I guess for Teela the chestplate thing would be a quid pro quo- Tit for Tat, if you know what I mean. I guess with all those big-chested individuals it could be confusing… By the way she had such a lovely embroidery… golden rings of desire… "My, what lovely Teelas you have there my dear…"
