Sears/JC Penny catalogs were the Holy Texts growing up in the 80's

Computer Shopper was always a goodie, it was basically 80s/90s NewEgg in magazine form, and the mags were always like an inch thick. You can find fully scanned ones on the Internet Archive

They ruled. Bill & Alice articles in the back were a highlight, new products tested in the Lab of Doom & Pepsi-Cola

oh yeah the old model train and wargaming scenery catalogues were loving legendary. my buddies dad was also into that poo poo and had stacks of them filled with the most glorious dioramas. i do that stuff myself now and i'd kill to have some of those old mags to flip thru

Sears had a diorama that was the dig site of the Ark from Indiana Jones, everything was like HO scale, it was amazing. I had that page dogeared as hell but it never arrived under the tree. Maybe I'll try to track it down as an adult
