The insanely high buy it now prices are going to be the last nail in the eBay coffin if they don't do something about them. Everything is just lited now with insane buy it now prices.

I think that's when I got mine, but how do you remember how big it was, or do you still have it? Problem for my family was it became merely ornamental pretty quickly, and was always in the way when we tried to play pool or fussball. Here's what I got the following year (if I can trust the chronology of home movies):

Dec 20 11 10:28 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was about 4 feet tall, and it was taller than me. Mine was white like the one in the picture. I remember the box or the instructions saying that it was 8 feet long. I could be mistaken, or maybe the 1968 version was slightly smaller. I also got a Motorized Monster Maker the same year. I had O. G. Ogre, Willie Weird Wolf, and (later) Galaxon. Last Edited By: gorgozilla Dec 20 11 10:32 PM. Edited 1 times.

The styro T-rex looked awesome standing in the corner as you came down the steps- and HUGE! I was so jealous. I myself had a toy called Big Loo the Moon Robot (Marx) that I loved. I remember he seemed super huge in my memory too, but when I finally saw one again as an adult, he was so much smaller than I remembered! Still big for a plastic toy though, I guess.
