@cbcvancouver: Hundreds of eager shoppers lined up on Dec. 13, 1983, at Guildford Mall in Surrey for a chance to snag their very own Cabbage Patch Kid. Priced at $29.99 at the time, or roughly $80 accounting for inflation, the dolls were highly coveted and had already sold out at most other stores. #Cabbagepatchkids #throwback #Surrey #Vancouver #BC #cbc #news #britishcolumbia #guildfordmall #dolls #toys #shopping #frenzy

Stood at Canadian tire all day long. Let my mom know I was going to win a cabbage patch doll for her. 8:50pm I won that dam doll. She still has it.

My mom was on welfare. She got 2. We ate oatmeal and corn on the cob for months. I remember getting “Tracy” but only learned about my mom’s sacrifice recently

Furby was the toy when I was a kid… I remember Mom grabbing one at just as they were putting them out, and on our way out the shelves were empty!

My mom was shopping in a small mall in Nanaimo. And they just happened to stock some as she was walking through the Bay. She could only afford 1 for us to share.
