| 4825 | Article | NLogan | Jason Liebig is cool if you credit him. He used to be an editor for marvel comics on Wolverine and Uncanny X-Men (during the stupid no nose, pirate mask, bone clawed, feral Wolverine period). He collects packaging and other ephemeral nostalgia pieces like catalogs. He has done quite a bit of work to show off his rare pieces. He called me out once for not crediting him. I reminded him that since most if not all are scans of actual packaging or product catalogs, with designs for playground equipment, catalog pages,etc. I failed to see how he would own images that are clearly copyrighted and or restricted by either the McDonald's corporation or Setmakers incorporated, or Sears, Hasbro, Kenner, whatever food corporation, etc. in the first place. I asked him if he got permission from them to photograph or scan their artist's works, designs, sculpts, products, food item packaging, and characters? The photos are in the public domain and he is displaying them on a website whose motto is "Share your photos, Watch the world" Flickr, or his own like candy collectors, or the wishbook one. I suggested that if he felt that he owned the images of trademarked McDonald's Characters or food items produced by McDonald's or other companies I suggest either putting a watermark over his images, putting them in a private gallery to be sold, or not displaying them over the public access portion of the internet. He told me to just be courteous and source his photos if I use them. He turned out to be a pretty cool guy with similar interests (besides his involvement with Wolverine at his worst, I have forgiven him I would have jumped at the chance to work on a book with my favorite character, it is not like he was the artist). Just make sure he is credited. A link to his website doesn't hurt either. You did both I see no problem. I have been visiting the candy collecting and wishbook sites for years and would have directed you to them sooner had I known you were unaware. I thought they were pretty much common knowledge and even used one I think to show you your Transformers pajamas. | Sears Wishbook Finds 1986-1989 | Jan 31, 2019 |  |
| 4823 | Article | Vaporman87 | Just sleep with one eye open for now. Until the coast is clear. LOL | Sears Wishbook Finds 1986-1989 | Jan 31, 2019 | |
| 4822 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @vaporman87 Well, I do credit him and his site directly here, so I think we're on the level. It's really a tribute to all his hard work in creating this incredible archive. | Sears Wishbook Finds 1986-1989 | Jan 31, 2019 | |
| 4821 | Article | Vaporman87 | So... many... watches... Man, I would have killed for one of those Hitachi Video Printers back in the day! As well as the Yorx boom box. What a treasure trove of awesome stuff these catalogs are. You just can't beat 'em. Finally, I thought that name sounded familiar. Jason Liebig is the same dude who, way back when, was upset with our cereal box gallery and some images that OldSchool80s used in his McDonald's article, because they were used without consent (although one of his inferiors did grant us permission to use the cereal box images). Am I to assume you got permission to use these images? If not, he may send an assassin to kill us all. | Sears Wishbook Finds 1986-1989 | Jan 30, 2019 | |
| 4819 | Article | Benjanime | there was nothing quite like perusing shop catalogues for games and toys, then you get to the part of the catalogue when they start showing guns and gun racks and question why it immediately goes there lol. | Sears Wishbook Finds 1986-1989 | Jan 30, 2019 | |
| 4818 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | I fully agree with that Vapor. | RetroJunk Classic: The Magic of Nostalgia | Jan 29, 2019 | |
| 4817 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think the concept of the game could have been better developed and end up becoming a cult favorite, much like Earthworm Jim. | The Playstation Experience - Part 1 | Jan 28, 2019 | |
| 4815 | Article | Vaporman87 | When I first played Gex, it was on the 3DO. I thought he might become the 3DO’s “Mario/Sonic”. Instead the system died and Gex moved on... then died also. lol | The Playstation Experience - Part 1 | Jan 28, 2019 | |
| 4814 | Article | Vaporman87 | It’s the comfort of simpler times and a relative freedom from the responsibilities and concerns of present day that constitute the “magic”, in my opinion. That and the perception in your youth that the future holds endless possibilities. | RetroJunk Classic: The Magic of Nostalgia | Jan 28, 2019 | |
| 4811 | Article | Vaporman87 | I feel like I've seen or heard this somewhere else before, but it is neat how they worked the most popular arcade game of the time into the film. | Pac-Man made a cameo in 1982's Tron | Jan 25, 2019 | |
