I can tell you exactly what it was like to get these as a kid..... it was so horrible i CRIED!!!!!

No idea what year exactly it was, but for my January Birthday i got 1 from Dad, 1 from Mum, 1 from Brother, 1 from Grandma.... and then there was no more family.... but there was 5 on the box.... and then it was the Yellow Leg that was missing..... OH NO *Sniff sniff WATERWORKS!!!!*

Good thing my parents weren't stupid.... "Oh, there was this one as well, but we didn't know if you'd want it as well" and out it came from the wardrobe...

Even more surprising is the fact we lived 300kms in the country, and the only things i ever saw in stores were 2 of 3 insecticons in Coles
