yeah...the older kid down the street named chris used to have one of these, and i wanted one really bad.
so i asked my stingy parents when i saw one left in the store...they made me do chores to save up and earn it...but by paying me a nickel here and a quarter there, it took me a month to raise half the cost of it...by then it was gone from the store, and i havent seen one being sold since.
and now theyre all bright orange or have the orange tip on it.
im still pissed about this...even though it happened to me almost 20 years ago.:(
