Congratulations!

Awesome! I had this as a kid and remember it very, very fondly!

Same here.

I remember thinking that it was so well designed, because it was kind of 'open air' and as a result very easy for a kid like me move the figures in and around it.

Exactly.

Curious, I just used an online inflation calculator to determine the value today of $15 in 1975, and it said $89.96. So that was a pricey toy back in the day....

I'd imagine something like that would be in the $125-$200 range today.

Very nice!

Thank you.

Gorilla Glue...appropriate.

Congrats !

Thank you.

That looks to be in good shape. Nice.

I'm still in awe in how good shape it is. I was expecting some "issues" with that price.

The Mego Planet of the Apes Treehouse!
I found it on Etsy for $250!! Complete in its original but badly damaged box and with the original instruction sheet. The only issues with it are two stains on the roof, it is missing floor pins 5R and 5L, and the weapons table had one broken leg, which I easily repaired with my Gorilla hot glue gun. It even has the original price sticker from K-Mart for $14.96.
This one was a long time coming.
