I found one of these about three months ago in a Family Toy Warehouse. It
was open and missing about 20 pieces(nothing too rare, luckily). The best
part was that it was only $5.00!
My dark ages started about the same time Paradisa was released so I missed
them all when they were widely available. I did manage to find two complete
Sand Dollar Cafe's in a Ames last Thanksgiving for $14.50 each. There was
much to be thankful for that year :) Of course, I found the Paradisa
Playground (complete) for $0.25 at a yardsale about a month ago.
Ok, I'll end this self-praise of my FOTW. And I won't tell(scare?) you all
about my recent dream about a lt pink/dk pink/white Metroliner.
