Criosphynx Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) As a kid I always wanted #6285, the Black seas Barracuda. I remember being in toys r us as a kid and it was on the clearance table, on sale for $189 or something like that ( I think it was normally $200? I don't remember, this was in 1990 or so). I thought I might be short a couple bucks so I decided to put it down and buy the set I had already picked up that I knew for sure I had enough money for because I didn't want to be embarrassed at the register and yelled at by my mother if I didn't do the math in my head correctly. I figured I'd get the pirate ship in a few months or so when I had money again. My sub ten year old brain didn't understand that the ship was on sale because it was being discontinued and It was never on the shelves again. I bought a massive collection last year from an old lady for $200. Among the many, many other sets was my beloved #6285. I seriously had to not cry when I saw it,. So I got a great deal, but had to wait a few decades. :P Edited March 17, 2017 by Criosphynx Quote
