  1. @retrosteveuk That's great!

    I've still got my early red one, along with a more recent (smoother corners) version. I'm trying to remember what slides I've got... might just have to go and have a look!

    I also picked up one of these kids projectors over the years. Of course with this you don't get the 3D effect.

    Fun fact, the slides fit quite nicely into a floppy disk box...

  2. How about a Boombox Lego Kit, Game Boy Jukeboxes, a 3D View-Master Movie (!?) and more news from the retro scene, all packaged up into a digestable, entertaining video format? Join me for the latest edition of Retro Newsround, (12th February 2026.)

  3. Yes, my dear, you can still buy a View-Master.

    I have one from the 1960's in a drawer with some reels.

    It would be fun to sit in a group of people staring into smartphones but clicking one of these while saying loudly, "Hell yeah! Oh, fuck!, Man, that's hot!"

  4. Ads are creeping in more often on streaming services thees days. But it's not a new trend. 📺

    On this vintage #ViewMaster reel note that the first image is an ad, while it promises “scenes from just six…” - not 7, but you won’t miss that last one. (Yes, this is a promo reel, but I couldn’t help myself 😜)

    I pulled an old reel out after reading this post from Lucasfilm's Pablo Hidalgo on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/infinata.bsky
