> The prices of the toys we had as kids comes as a shock. $150 for a toy? $200 for a toy? These prices are outrageous.
I remember having an encyclopaedic knowledge of the prices of Lego sets (and Transformers) during the 80's. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Most of my friends in primary school knew how much the latest Technics racing car, or indeed the original G1 Megatron (banned in the state I lived in, so notorious and highly coveted amongst us [1]) would have cost our parents.
One of my friend's dads drove to another state and paid $90 for Megatron before it got banned in that state as well. For that act, according to us at the time, he won dad of the year.
