If I recall correctly, I got mine for a buck fifteen at my local 7-11 way back when. Mowed a lawn for three bucks and rode down to the store and bought it with some paints and glue.Dragline wrote:So the game is afoot then.
Looking at past auctions we can expect to pay upwards of $50.00 USD for it. I'll bet it was $2.00 new.

$1.15.00 eh?
Those were the days. I remember going to the Kresge [.5 and .10 cent store] and buying the Monogram Snake dragster. It was $2.25 and I thought that was outrageous.
