I only had 2 of the big ones, but they came in different sizes, and I still have all the small ones.

Little axes and things always got lost, then people would steal them out of the boxes on store shelves, so if you were looking for a new one you always had to verify all the parts were there. :(

I got one big one and the Lander the same Christmas; we weren't well-off, and that was an extravagant Christmas, the best I'd ever had, haul-wise.

It was the year before my parents divorced, and that probably had something to do with the largess.

I remember that!

They look way less detailed and fabulous than I remember; that's imagination for you. I just remember them being nearly as tall as I was, and it was glorious.
