If you’re ahead with that mortgage payment or car loan; or simply don’t care about the rent, there’s a complete 1979 Kenner ALIEN available on eBay right now. This one looks clean, in very good to excellent shape and will only set you back a paltry US$750 dollars. CHEAP! BARGAIN! I’ll take TWO for the price of THREE! Clean and in great shape, this figure has all parts present. Maybe a little worse for wear being a forty four year old toy not intended for this kind of longevity. These old toys were originally sold prior to Christmas in 1979, landing on store shelves sometime in October of that year. This sample lacks a box and poster but the commonly missing parts are all present and are 100% original. You’ll find no facsimiles or reproduction parts on this item. While US$750 appears to be a lot of money for one of these forty year old toys, the high asking price isn’t an anomaly. Even in this complete condition, Kenner ALIEN toys are not rare. They’re just so damned cool and carry such a freight of reputation the demand for them is only growing. It’s amazing then that any time, you can find at least a dozen of them on eBay at any time. This not only true, but has also always been the case for as long as I can remember. At least a dozen. Frequently more than a dozen.
