Just got back from the USA

[Relic]

I just recently got back from a 1 week vacation in Duluth Minnesota. I live in Canada. I was shocked to see that the price of gasoline is about half of what we pay up here. Also the price of beer in Canada is almost 3 times as much as beer in the USA. I guess thats the price you pay for having free health care. Nothing is ever free. The health care is great if your sick, but until that time your paying the bill for everyone else. I only found one Mego while away. It was in an antique shop and the owner wanted 600 dollars for him. That was to rich for my blood considering he was loose with no packaging and was also incomplete. Does anyone outh there have a Mr. Fantastic they would be willing to sell me? Preferably for much less than 600 dollars.

600? That dude better plan on packing him in his casket because that puppy will NEVER sell. Amazing...

If it's a flawless 1975 card with a non grey Mr F it could but it most likely isn't.

The Mr. Fantastic I am referring to was in an antique shop on Superior Street in Duluth Minnesota. He had no packaging at all and was in rough shape. His clothes were not very clean and the left glove looked like someone or something chewed it. The owner said this was a very rare Mego and that less than 200 Mr. Fantastics were ever made. I never said anything but I am sure Mego made more the 200 of them. Did Mego make a seperate limited edition Mr. Fantastic and thats why its so much or is the owner full of hot air? The Mr. Fantastic I saw looked like any other one that is for sale in here or on E bay.

I'm surprised about the gas and beer difference.

I remember back in the 80's a 10-pack of cigarettes in Canada was $4.00 --- I thought it was nuts back then.

Considering all that money you saved on beer and gas, you shoulda bought him.

In canada where I live right now gasoline is about 1.50 a litre which converts to almost 7 dollars a gallon. For 24 bottles of beer its between 35 and 40 dollars depending on the brand. Cigarettes sell for over 10 dollars now. We do have free health care but I am not sick.

It's a $1.27 a litre where I live in Ontario. Which is crazy considering all the oil we have in our own country. I rarely buy beer and never cigarettes. I'm okay with cigarettes being pricy because it might discourage people from smoking.

I'm okay with gasoline being pricy, because it might discourage people from driving.

You Americans have cheap subsidized milk too. Milk probably costs three times more in Canada.

Just be thankful you don't live in Somalia, Bangladesh, or worse yet...Afghanistan or North Korea.
