Model Car prices

[SteveSS]

Did you have the Aurora monster models, including the Chamber of Horrors ones? I had most of them, including some of the glow-in-the-dark ones. I also have a GITD '69 Charger from a Dukes episode. I have a big F-14 Tomcat model in my attic. I started it before I was married, now I'm not, I need to finish it.

This is a pic of the box that I took back in.......
I lost it, and at least 50 others (mostly new original annual releases from the late 60s and early 70s) in the Paradise fire in 2018. JO-HAN was my favorite, followed by MPC.
It was definitely a "gateway" addition. Even now as I walk the swap meets I have to slap my hand and say "no" when I see models. I get the shakes.

This post got me thinking, man. I haven't heard from him in quite awhile. Apparently, I didn't have his latest phone number. So, I did a search on him. Wow, I found out he passed away back in Jan. RIP ole buddy.

They're not as cheap as they once were.
But still A LOT less expensive than the real ones. Plus easier to store

Easier on gas, too.
