I used to get their electronic kits. They came in a plastic box, which was also the perfboard, and it was point to point soldering. Those were great fun for the curious. I also remember being quite excited when I got one of their "Flavoradios", in yellow, for Christmas one year. Outside of a cell phone, which, yea, I bought one there, my last major purchase was a handheld CB radio. I still have it, I wish I could open it, the batteries leaked and compartment is sealed (and you need to get inside to unscrew the housing). But it was nice because I got it for a 4WD trip, and I knew that if anyone was going to have a CB radio, it was Radio Shack. And they did, and it worked great for that trip. That was probably 2000, 2001 or so. I spent a lot of time at the Radio Shack as a kid, my folks bought a lot of stuff there, including computers.
