Cool Toy

[HEMIHUNTER]

A friend of mine inheriited his grandfathers 5 & dime store.... he found a ton of unopened stuff in the attic, unfortunatly for me he won't sell

That would be an awesome set to play with!

Don't open the box. That thing will be worth some money.

Very cool!  That's an awesome set!!! 

What other cool stuff did he get?  Just curious, love looking at old stuff!


If you want a set you can play with, Kmart sold reissues of that set back about 10-15 years ago.  Can probably find one on Ebay.  I should've picked one up when I saw them.    They had several retro sets available.

You can make your friend jealous by being able to play with your set!!!!

I'm still a kid at heart. Money or not, I would have to open it and play with it.  Who ever buys it might do the same to.

Still such a cool toy.  Doesn't get any better than a Snake vs Mongoose set.

I've known Matt all my life..... theoretically if he sells it he will call me first

here is my cool toy 40 mph! i can also remove the wheelie bars and hook up the keg trailer fill it with ice and beer put the wife on the back and head to some get togethers.   thx bruce

Are you going to enter that for car of the month?

[jimynick]

That stool is cool! Pun intended! But 40mph on a bar stool would be a religious experience. I'd need a few of those pints to wind 'er up. Still, a neat and original toy. Enjoy!

hey thx, yeah i had to put a bigger gear on the back to slow it down, now it is not so bad.  thx bruce

Never opened, that Snake & Mongoose set is worth at least $1,000.

When I give my kids birthday presents I'm telling them not to open them up!
