Just want to share my joy with y'all...
Today at Value Village (Lawrence Avenue East & Golf Club, Scarborough, Toronto), I scored a carded, original Thundercats Laser Sabers Energy Pack (the black one) for a mere $2.99.
Almost as cool as that were the four random LJN WWF Thumbwrestlers it was bagged up with.
I guess you can't call something 'Mint-On-Card' when the item itself is mint but the card is battered to hell, but I'm still thrilled with it.
I can't make out the corporate logo on the price tag stuck to the card, but it seems the last asking price was $14.99... there is a little red dot affixed to that too, suggesting that the original retail price was even higher. I don't remember toys being that expensive in the 80s but this thing boasts on the card that it interacts with other 'Laser Sabers Energy Packs' and 'The Cat's Lair' - the feature seems to be some kind of light-based Captain Power type thing.
The only thing I remember about these the first time around is that they came in four colours... blue and orange for cats and black and red for mutants.
This is a little bittersweet because I sold my loose T-cats earlier in the year and I doubt that this will form the cornerstone of a new collection, i'll likely keep it for a while and shuffle it on, still a great find though.
I roll into that Value Village every month or so but I've never found anything carded or this vintage before.. just goes to show you never know.
