For me, it was the 6626 Rescue Helicopter
from 1981, and I was 10. I wanted the rotor-mount because it was unlike
anything I had in my small collection up to that point.
My mother asked me specifically whether I wanted the set for itself or for the
part, because $1.96 seemed an outrageous outlay for a single part!
Well, I guess its two parts, because the
3462 wasnt of much use to
my decade-old mind without the
3461 to go with it!
Perhaps this was the moment at which I moved from a mere fan to a fan who
collects...
Anyone else recall similar epiphanies?
Dave!
