Hey bud, the video says unavailable. But it may be me.
I was all primed to "see the monkey", too! :D

Now that's nothing like I expected! I figured it would move more slowly. That thing works slick, bud!

I had forgotten about those, Lenn. I thought they were slightly creepy when I was a grasshopper.

:lol:

Reminds me of some other toys that involved the use of string. Remember the Buck Rogers space ships that had tiny pulleys so you could let them "fly" across the living room?

Jack dats funny :lol:
Brad this one is a repo made in China, I have one made by Lindstrom coming and they were made by Marks also but generally the originals bring big money.
Bill I`m not familiar with those toys, only other toy I had was a Man from Uncle set with a camera gun ect....

No, gravity fed -- at least the two or three I had. You'd tie a piece of cotton string to a chair leg across the room, feed it through the rocket's pulleys and then hold your end of the string up and let the rocket "fly" down toward the chair. I guess it was kinda boring now that I think about it ...
