Oh, yes, I remember the Cabbage Patch kids. There really was a shortage of them when my grandkids were little. We waited in the rain and wind for the store to open, they only got 50 each week, but all were the same price and you got the first one they grabbed behind the counter. I paid for the one I got each week, and stood around with other folks saying "I have a black haired boy, I'm hunting for a blonde girl" (Like my granddaughter) and we would simply trade 'kids'. Did that each week till the GKids were satisfied, then had to hunt for more for DD's friend's kids.
They couldn't find them in Texas at that time.
