I like it too, Jeff. Ebay item was just about 35 miles from home at that time.... The seller was amazed that it sold for $112.81. However at the time, it was not uncommon for these sealed kits to reach $300.00 or just over.

well the McD's is rare cause L-L didn't exactly get full permission to make it so it was retooled to make the Freezee building

THREE HUNDRED SMACKAROO'S???!!! And I've been kicking myself all these years
for not buying Apple stock back in the "80's. Who knew?
I rather like your Ace Supermarket. Here's mine. An iconic piece, my wife, when
she was a little girl, used to shop there with her mom in a market that was the
spitting image of the Ace. Back then her old man used to make $7 am hour and
come home for lunch everyday. Raised seven kids on $7 an hour. Her mom
would buy juuuuust enough for the day.

| Hey Chops! The ACE store originated as a Life-Like Buildems , 7-11 back in the early 70s. Later the 7-11 become the ACE convenient store. Not sure what year it was changed. Very same kit other than the signs on the roof.

I am posting something different today, paper buildings. Cut. Fold, and tape. 2 old Victorian homes. Kept a little distant, they will blend in with the created scene.
