537.0. "Starting-line up Dream Team" by GIZMOP::R_PLOURDE () Wed Mar 03 1993 17:59

    
    
    
    * I was wondering ? *  
    
    
    Last year Starting Line-up put out a U.S. Olympics Basket Ball 
    Dream Team action figure set.  It has all the Dream Team members 
    action figures in 1 large box etc... You may have noticed them in 
    Toys R Us.... I noticed that they were $69.99 when they came out 
    and they have been out for a little less than a year. How or Where 
    would one look to see the current value of such an item ? Did anyone 
    else purchase this ?  Do you think that something like this and the 
    starting line-up figures as a whole will go up in value ? Do you 
    see an interest for this type of stuff ?   
    
    I like to collect sports stuff (mostly hockey) but am getting a little 
    tired of cards (once in a binder you don't look at them anymore) not 
    visual and different enough to keep me happy..  
    
    Well what do you think ? 
    
    
    Thanks Ron

    Thanks Dan... 
    
    Do you happen to get tuff stuff ? would you mind looking it up for me ? 
    PaaaHHHLLeeeeeZZZZ
    
    Do you think these things will have a good following. 
    
    
    BTW- Hows Denise ? Still in BXB ?

    No problem...
    
    Yup, I've got a copy in the car...  I can check after work...
    Surprisingly, I haven't purchased ANY Starting Lineup figures,
    but that may change...  :-)
    
    Denise is fine, thanks...  Still in BXB.
    
    later,

    I think I saw them in Toy Works in Leominster for 50$. They had about
    8 sets. They were marked down from 70$ or something.

    I was talking with -rjk last night. He said he saw the Dream Team line-
    up for 30$ at the Toys R Us in Framingham  when  I  mentioned Toy Works
    had them for 50$.

537.8GIZMOP::R_PLOURDEFri Mar 05 1993 12:5320
    
    I went to the Toys R Us here in Nashua and returned my Dream Team 
    line up that I paid $69.99 for. I had to beg since it was over the 90 
    days that you have to return stuff.. Then yesterday I went back and
    bought it for $29.99... YA I like saving $40.00 freakin bucks! 
    
    Did anyone have a chance to look these up in tuff stuff and find out 
    what the guide says they are worth ?  I might buy another figuring 
    2 for less than the price of 1 must be a good deal. That plus I really 
    like them. I think they are pretty cool and a goo collection of the
    great players.. $29.99 is a great deal I think for 10 desirable
    figures.  
    
    
    I can't wait for the hockey figures.. that will give me something to
    blow my millions on (snicker)..

    >> 537.8 <<<
    Ron,if you can get me one for $29.99 I'd really appreciate
    it,the cheapest I seen them for was about $55.00,so if you could 
    do it okay,and if you can't thats okay too,my DTN 226-2256
