No kidding, Bill? Man, that is harsh. Although they may have been way more expensive at your local store. Let's give your ma the benefit of the doubt and assume that she considered your happiness worth more than $1.91! Heh! Hahahe. No kidding, Bill? Man, that is harsh.

Heh!

At least that's what I was told when I asked my mom :( Even more mind-boggling to think you COULDN’T buy them because they were they “so” expensive. At least that’s what I was told when I asked my mom :(

That's so cool. I don't recall any awareness of the FFs as a kid. Once I learned of them, however, they became a top priority as a collector. It took a couple years to get them all MIB, but they sure look pretty lined up next to each other! Sadly, I don't have them anymore. Sigh. And you're right, to think one could EVER buy all four for under $10... just mind-boggling. Don, you remember seeing commercials for the FFs as a kid?! That’s so cool.

You could pick up the entire set of 4 for under $10.00. Like Ben, I don't ever recall seeing the FF's in stores. I recall the commercials and seeing them in catalogues but not in stores. I unfortuantely did not have any of the above named Lionel stores near or around me. WOW! $1.91 for a Fist Fighter. You could pick up the entire set of 4 for under $10.00.

I don't recall a Kiddie City in my hometown, but we did have Kiddie Land, which I loved. In fact, I have a vivid memory of seeing a boxed Green Goblin back in the day (no other Megos, though). Strange we have similar memories of two of the 'Kiddie' stores. That’s awesome, Bill! I don’t recall a Kiddie City in my hometown, but we did have Kiddie Land, which I loved.

It is the only place I can remember seeing shelves of Megos. I can remember longingly looking at a boxed Conan back in the day. I LIVED for trips to Kiddie City when I was a kid.
