Sears 1969 Christmas Catalog

Sears 1969 Christmas Catalog Cover

Notice that the Astro Trac Missile Convoy has been marked down to $11.99 from $15.66 last year! The color pic of the Convoy and the Unitred & Space Bubble has MMM driving the Unitred, Jeff Long riding in the bubble and Doug Davis driving the Astro Trac. What a cool way to display those wonderful sets! Also introduced is the Talking Command Console (called "Mattel's Talking Space Station") and Callisto. What a great year for MMM! The bottom of the color page also features a great pic of Billy Blastoff with his pal Robbie the Robot.
