Any Dad's out there in need of gift idea for kid?

Somehow came across this "TACP Party Set" on Amazon when searching for books on JTACs/TACPs. My jaw hit the floor when I realized it's an action-figure set! And I thought action-figures were expensive in 1977 :)

Did you look at the rest of the product line? That one isn't the most expensive either.

Wow. get your PLA Soldier figure for just $499.

 

Seriously, I could almost understand the price if they were collector's items, ie, no longer manufactured, only 5 of them in the world, etc. -- but are in stock new items!

It's too bad as some of them would be very cool to have (from my 1960's G.I. Joe perspective).

And I thought the figure that came with lightsabers were cool! That TACP Kit has just about everything you need, except for maybe some MRE's!

I had my dad's old 60s Action Men handed down to me when I was a kid. I had absolutely hours of fun in my Grandma's back yard playing soldiers with all the accessories and the tank.

 

Between that, computers and Lego, being a kid in the 80s was BRILL!
