The snap action feature worked better on some than others. <br /><br />As others rue their parents tossing their comic book collections or lunch boxes, these and my aurora prehistoric models are the things of mine that were thrown away which I long for most. <br /><br />For years these were also my only exposure to "The Pirates of the Caribbean." Each family trip to Disney World met with the attraction being out of commission during our visit. This also happened during my trips to Disneyland in my 20s. When I did finally get to experience the attraction I was a bit disappointed not to find each of these scenarios from the model kits represented so I can only imagine how cheated I would have felt as a fourth grader if they weren't there.John Rozumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626209473214085436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-50444630484039800682010-12-20T13:29:19.965-05:002010-12-20T13:29:19.965-05:00Wow, thank you for posting these!

I also had two of the Haunted Mansion models and still have those boxes as well. They are on my very long list of "stuff to post"!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.com
