Argh, I'm sure you're right-- and I even wondered whether "each" referred to
one item, or a case. I think it's bizarre to refer to an "SRP" for a
"case", but oh well.
Anyway the idea of all of them being $60+ was just crazy, I definitely let
my excitement carry me away.... :-)
Still, 2 $20+ sets-- could be cool!
Big question: did they license the Universal Monsters? Seems unlikely,
since actor likenesses (the primary reason for the license, the character
concepts themselves are generic enough that anyone can do them) are not
really useful with these figures.

| (...) Kevin, These sets might not be as detailed as you wish (but hopefully they will still be great sets). The website is a distributor and he sells everything in multiples. If you look again you'll see that the $160 price is for two Monster Labs. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2002)
