Now on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $2,895.00. Very cool.

Seller claims that "this remarkable artifact is the actual professional photograph, portions of which were used on the side of the production box."

That was auctioned, oh, maybe a year or three ago. Don't remember if it sold or what the price was? It's a great photo, but no 3K worth.

Ah, I know who that is now, but I can't remember her name.  She always has incredible stuff and prices that push the ceiling, but incredible stuff.

Heh, I can't remember her name, but I've talked to her and dealt with her before.  She's an oldtimer from the Toy Shop days, before eBay (amazing how that has become "oldtimer", eh?)

I still think it' amazing that I've become an oldtimer! (Hey you kids! Get off my lawn!)

I added the pic of the Addams Family Target Game to the Gallery, since we didn't have one.

I miss Toy Shop. It was fun having phone auctions before evil-bay screwed things up

It's an incredible piece that I've proudly owned for over a decade.  Looks even more impressive in person.  Regarding the price, dare I suggest that < 3K for an original one-of-a-kind piece of Aurora monster model kit history (Creature, no less) is within the realm of reason?   ;)

Oh, for the record, I'm a guy.

And one more thing.... my business name during the Toy Shop era was Two Guys Toys  (named after the famous discount department store I loved as a kid).

For a serious Aurora collector, yes.
