Pretty cool. :)

All the best, Allan B.

I love sets from this era -- pre-minifig, lots of pieces and/or functions in every set. Usually these go for less on eBay than minifig sets. Just last year I got a lot of three small and one large 1970s sets for $30 (a bargain!!!). But people are going nuts in this auction - 10X original retail price! I hope it doesn’t drive up the cost of these sets in general (though I suppose July is a better time to look for bargains on Lego than December). People will pay a lot for a sense of nostalgia, I suppose.
