I got one - you had to send in box tops or something for it. They were supposed to have a rocket that shot out his backpack, but they realized that kids would poke their eyes out with it, so the final version didn’t have the rocket. I was so disappointed as a kid. A few prototypes with the rocket leaked out and those are the ones that fetch such money.
