When I saw this in a hobby/craft store some time in 2003 or 2004, I thought it looked like something I'd want, but not nearly enough to pay $305.99 for it. I guess that's the tragedy of this toy, was that it was a really cool toy, but just cost too much to manufacture, for them to be able to...

Tank you, very much! I bought this about ten years ago, and just within the last few weeks, I got it into my head to get it out, and perform some much-needed maintenance and repairs on it, including building it a new battery pack out of a bunch of old AA-sized NiMh cells I had sitting around...
