It's a great price. Just think about all the crap that goes for more than $300? AFA graded junk and such. Maybe even 25th pimp daddy Destros or yellow Stalkers.
I mean. No. USS FLAGG all the way. Own one myself. Even had 2 at the same time back in the day. This playset embodies an era of toy making where the sky was the limit. Things were meant to be played with first and foremost. BTW, AWESOME customs!!!! AWESOME dude.

Nice find! I remember reading a Toy Shop magazine back in the 90s which had a big article about the USS Flagg. The most interesting part of the article was that the first prototype of the Flagg was originally designed to be 9 or 11 feet long (can't remember for sure), but Hasbro decided to scale it back for cost reasons. If I remember correctly the prototype had a second elevator and some other things I can't remember.
