He was always friendly and generous with his time and knowledge, and very, very funny. I was relatively new to the hobby, and he went out of his way to make me feel welcome. I didn't know him as well as I'd have liked to, but I appreciate getting to know him as well as I did. All the very best to yourself and his daughter. I'm glad you were able to get a look at these, and I hope they made you smile.

Loose guns are actually quite common -- about six of them were on eBay not too long ago, all from one seller. The cardboard packaging, on the other hand, is super rare, and finding it in decent condition is a real challenge. <br /><br />The guns themselves aren't worth too much -- trigger or no trigger -- so you shouldn't have too much trouble swapping your broken one for a mint one if you ever feel like doing so. <br /><br />Regardless, at $12 I think you did very well.Doc Atomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756391204121061932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768200059516433013.post-35633933726752645372011-12-31T18:25:51.173-05:002011-12-31T18:25:51.173-05:00I bought one of these guns still in original packa...I bought one of these guns still in original package.Mine is red and yellow.It has some wear and the gun trigger is broken off.I still thought it was really cool looking.I paid $12.00 for it.I have no ideal of the value.I was wondering if I got a pretty good deal.I just love the style and the cool graphics on the package.Let me know what you think.Thanks, MelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768200059516433013.post-33986118650371188542011-12-04T22:16:40.723-05:002011-12-04T22:16:40.723-05:00Hi, VintageSeeker.

It's so easy to get wrapped up in their identities as collectibles that we all sometimes forget that kids used to actually PLAY with them! It's important to remember that, first and foremost, these are toys -- and should be appreciated as such.
