Playboy magazines Carmen steals

Assuming this movie is set in June, 1977 (which it probably was, one summer after the original), the Playboy magazines Carmen gets from the convinience store near the hotel they stay in the first night would have been the July, 1977 issues. I know that because I've looked at and read Playboy since the early 1980s regularly, and every month the next chronological month's issue is in stores, or delivered by mail. This issue would also be signifigant for me, in that it was the first one I ever saw, and its centerfold (or Playmate) was the first nude woman I ever saw. This was because my family was visiting our relatives that month near Washington, D.C., and my cousin's friends who lived near there had this Playboy issue stashed outside in the bushes near the houses, and they got it out and we all looked at it when outside one afternoon. It was apparently one of their father's issues that they'd sneaked out of their house, and I really liked it, and went back out alone that night after dark to try and get/look at it again, but couldn't find it in the bushes (and never did again). I, and most if not all of them, were 9 then, and were rising 4th graders, which was a little younger than most of the Bears players in this movie (who were probably 10, 11, 12, and had just finished 4th, 5th, 6th grades-and about the same age as Lex,below-though I'm sure she never played Little League baseball). But in the scene where Carmen brings them back to the hotel room he interrupts a pillow fight with the offer of these magazines, to which the other Bears players (except Kelly, who'd left the room) immidiently forget the fight and begin looking at them. As to how he got them to begin with, that is never made clear, he tries to buy one with some other items, but the clerk refuses because he is under 21 (the legal age was/is really 18 for this, I'm pretty sure), then it shows him returning to the hotel with three, but whay I've always thought happened was that he went to put the one back while leaving the other items on the counter to be rang up, the just grabbed two more and ran out. I did show this scene to my mother once, and she then asked how'd he get them. I then explained it was never mentioned again, and she said, "He must've stole them." I then explained what I just wrote, which I'm pretty certain is true.
