So my fiancee tells me she got me a present today and has me close my eyes and hold out my hands. That's when she puts this into my hands:
It's the 1993 "Collector's Kit" mail away. I opened it up to see that it had everything it came with (2 Trees of weapons, Trading cards, collector's book with a list of every figure released by that time and of course, the mystery figure...this one was Thunder!) My fiancee then tells me that she got it from a salvage store for $5!.......and they had another one there. So we rush over to pick it up. The guy shows me the one that was out and another that's still sealed in the cardboard shipping box! The owner of the store proceeds to tell us that these are the last two of a pallet of 300 he bought back in 1995 or so. He's been selling them a little at a time all these years Here's all three of the mystery figures I got (Thunder, Copperhead & Hiss Driver) I'm assuming these were left over from the "Vehicle Drivers" set mail-away because all the filecards have 1987 copyrights I really wish the guy still had all 300 of them, I'd max out my credit card to get them all! |
