Title: dallas cowboys hopper
Post by: olds45512 on July 21, 2011, 10:43:01

When I was a kid most off my christmas toys came from the jcpenny catalog. They sold eliminator and bandits along with just about every other tyco. One year I got a dallas cowboys hopper, it had a silver body with the blue stars and said dallas cowboys on the wing. Was this something that was specially made for jcp or did they sell them everywhere? I've done a few searches online but can't seem to find any info or pics so I didn't know if you guys had any pics of one or where I might find one to purchase. Thanks

I can't believe nobodys commenting on this. I figured I would at least get told that I was wrong about it being a tyco(which I know I'm not)

I'm 100% sure it was tyco, we actually still have a chassis from one on another truck. The year was either 94 or 95 because it was right after the cowboys won 2 superbowls. I found some jcp catalogs on ebay but really didn't want to spend 20 bucks a peice for the catalogs just to have a picture.

yeah, wasn't it a special order one? i think my uncle owned one cause hes a major cowboys fan. i know he had a buggie but in the move it got crushed.  I think jcpenny's was where you ordered it from.

Do it!  I have a Tyco 1996 Spring catalog coming in the mail with 100+ pages (not all RC) I'll definitely post pics if it is in there.

Do you think any others are worth buying from that guy on ebay?  I'd be down to get another 1 or 2 maybe if you guys know of some good stuff probably in them.

One of you guys will ge it, it had to be after the cowboys won he super bowl in the early 90 cuz I remember they were real popular and everybody in school had a cowboys jacket.

That's cool, you had that JCP hook up!  ;D


Hey I was thinking, unless the seller is a complete dick I bet you could just message them and ask if they could look in the catalog for your elusive Dallas Cowboys Hopper.  Then if they said yes it's in there you would know, and could either buy it or not buy it.

Title: Re: dallas cowboys hopper
Post by: olds45512 on December 14, 2011, 16:22:02

Yea I thought of that but was justt to lazy to message the seller, I can't believe how much some people want for those old catalogs.

Title: Re: dallas cowboys hopper

yeah 97 is the end of the glory days,, and to me the last good catalog

Title: Re: dallas cowboys hopper
Post by: olds45512 on December 15, 2011, 14:33:49

So I found someone on ebay selling a 94 jcp catalog and asked them to look for it and they said its in there, I asked them to email me a pic of the page to be certain its the correct on before I buy it.
