Yes, Mr. Android Base. ;) Did I mention that I scored three Aquashark "Shark's
Crystal Cave" sets and the big yellow Aquanauts sub (both first-generation) for
a total of $75 at the same K-B ToyWorks store where I bought those 6958s? Not
too shabby, just some haggling--and it didn't hurt that the boxes were
absolutely trashed (but complete).
Out-of-the-way K-B stores are very good for older things--as are stores in areas
where good help is hard to find, because they're disorganized and if you're
willing to dig or look up in the rafters you can find all *kinds* of goodies
(like the Zany Brainy where I found a King Kahuka last month).

I'm waiting for 6441 to pop in at $18 again... ;)
