Would you pay $170+ for a $8 toy?

I like the "Skylanders" videogame toys.

http://www.skylanders.com/

There was an "exclusive" toy available from the E3 videogaming convention, a Spyro, painted silver.

It's already going for $170 and up on eBay.

No difference in the game between the "regular" and the silver-painted one.

Go figure...

2. I don't think I'd pay $8 for a $170 video game toy.

...Unless I could sell it on eBay for more than $170.

3. If it was an Upsy Downsy doll

Evidence that doll creators in 1969 actually took drugs.

4. At least it wasn't a TV show...

Like the Sid and Marty Kroft productions.
(Lidsville, HR Pufnstuf, The Buggaloos...)

Unless there was a TV show based on these "Upsy Downseys?"

5. No, they had books, but no TV show.

I did watch all that other stuff you mentioned (plus Sigmund and the Seamonsters, Far Out Space Nuts, and the Banana Splits Adventure Hour). LOVED all of it. And was far too young to be anything but sober. Being a little kid in the 70s was pretty cool.

6. Sex toy? Maybe.
