Hey, I never get any good scores up here in Canada, but I just scored an R/C Crossfire for $40. It's only missing one missile and is mint with driver.
I really wish I can go back in time and get it when I was a kid though cause I remember seeing stacks of these on clearance at Zellers, but because it wasn't featured in any of the catalogues, I wasn't interested in it, which is the reason I never got any of the Sears and Consumers Distributing exclusive. I didn't understand the concept back then...haha. Is it a rare vehicle for it to go for so much on Ebay though, as I don't remember it being an exclusive? Also, the one thing I don't like about it is the orange parts. Seeing how valuable it is, I don't want to paint them. However, is it too hard for someone here who casts things to cast all the orange parts in black or grey?

Rumbler with his gun is easily worth $40...so you did alright.

I have one now myself! I used 2 of the Spray-Air cans tubes (you know, the ones you dust your computer with) taped together for my antenna. It works great!
My Crossfire is a US 49, but Rumbler is Canadian. I'm 99% sure because the person I got him from bought a Crossfire from Canada for their collection (Canadian stickers) and didn't need the Rumbler (BTW, Rumber from Canada is IDENTICAL to the US release). My Rumbler has a broken crotch and no gun but he does have the helmet. Good enough for me eh? I drive the Crossfire down the street to pick up my son from school sometimes. He loves driving it back home.

I know is the US this vehicle was not with the rest of the Joes in Toy Stores... It was in the R/C section a few aisles over. I think it was an easy Joe piece to miss because of where it was placed to be sold. The figure is pretty cool and rarer than most.
