These got sent to toy stores. My neighborhood Play-Co, which was staffed by high-schoolers, had one, and the kid showed it to me one day when I came in with my mom. To my 12-year-old brain, in the days before the internet, seeing this was like finding a treasure map and realizing the treasure was in your own town; Or finding a lost tomb that had never been raided.
And then waiting for them to show up on the shelves? Man, what a time. I don't want to get too sentimental, but the nostalgia is palpable.
Cool, fun stuff.
