I wasn't sure if anyone else knew of this, but this site specializes in epic wins of the past, ranging from toys to movies, to fashion, whatever your mind can think of. It's a recent addition to the same network that does the LOLcats, among other things. On Fridays there are usually posts that showcase 80's fashion from viewers, as long as someone has submitted pictures.

You can submit anything, as the daily wins come from submissions that are then voted on by the viewers. I found one for Rainbow Brite on the voting page section. It's currently on page 123, but will be pushed further back as more submissions are added.

To add some discussion to this, let's talk about things you remember growing up that you enjoyed and are no longer available, or still are available, but in a different reincarnation.

Me, I enjoyed my tape player because I could listen to my cassettes and carry it around with me. To completely embarrass myself, I become hooked on Dolly Parton's music at age 3, and so my tape player was named Dolly... mom says I even took it to bed with me. You really can't find tape players for children anymore, and they don't really sell CD players for children unless you buy from an education catalog. Instead, children get these "CD players" that play discs based on the plastic bumps.

There are sooooo many things I miss from the 90s (which are my yesteryears). There are also many things I'm nostalgic for that I never really got to experience, things my parents tell me all about. I was too late for the Ziggy craze, but I love Ziggy. We still have a bunch of stuff with him, like a coffee mug, a magnet or two, pads of paper, that sort of stuff.

That's one thing I like about this generation right now. Retro is becoming very popular, so a lot of the old things are coming back. I've always liked vintage things, so taking up the retro craze is pretty similar.

It is indeed making a comeback. I remember that when I was down in Myrtle Beach this past summer, there was a shop that was nothing but retro stuff...it was completely awesome. I don't remember anything about Rainbow Brite though...since I wasn't into her then I didn't look...I was moreso gawking at the Gremlins stuff and Muppets stuff... but that store was sweet
