It's to be expected, Gok, it isn't 1987 anymore.
I doubt you'll be able to buy an MP car for $50 in the year 2041 either ;)

So when you sell off your collection, you are going to list them at 1980s retail prices?

lol - I'll put my hand up right now for those kinds of deals :D

Can anyone fill me in on the process where you get a free USA postal address some company provides then they forward your items to you in Australia? Still haven't heard back from TRU US about why every TF item that says 'international shipping available' that I try to order then says 'international shipping not available when I try to go through the checkout' so am looking for alternatives.

I never said any of those things. I just said that the same amount of money could fund my next three MP cars and a Deluxe. Whether a Targetmaster Scourge is worth paying $180 for or not wasn't something I commented on. If someone thinks a Targetmaster Scourge is worth splashing $180 at, then good for them. I'd personally rather spend it on other stuff is all.

How much did TM Scourge sell for at retail in the US anyway (1987 USD)?

It's ridiculous to think that back in the day, TM Scourge sold for a little over $3 extra what you'd expect to pay for a legends class toy today :eek: :eek: :eek:

Damn you parents! Why didn't you buy me more when prices were so low you cheap bastards!!
