(...) Sorry, I was looking at the Canadian prices, not the US prices. For the US, they will cost $39.99 (#4402 Sea Riders), $49.99 (#4403 Air Blazers), and $59.99 (#4404 Land Busters). It seems a bit screwy, but Canadian prices are all $20 higher (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.org.us.lugola)
