    Happy Days accessories/vehicles are all few and far between either complete or otherwise. I think Fonzie's Garage, Jalopy, and Motorcycle are up there with The Waltons Truck as far as rarity is concerned.

      I held out and found a killer boxed Walton's truck, but the Jalopy has been elusive. I refuse to buy a Garage just to get one.

        I was trying to get all of the Mego vehicles at one point in time and the Jalopy stymied me. I put that one on the patience list.

            I had one as a kid, and my wife has been on the lookout for one to give me as a birthday or Christmas gift for years. She too has been very frustrated by the lack of jalopies available out there!

              I think the Jalopy is pretty much a package deal with the garage these days, especially if you want one in really nice shape. It's pretty routine to see boxed samples. But expect to pay a few bills.

                Well maybe FTC is reading these posts, and possibly surprise us all?

                  There's an M&M Hot Rod that will work as a stand in just for display purposes until you find one. It's pretty much in scale with the figures. It's called Rebel Without a Cause M&M candy dispenser.

                    That's cute--it does look like a compact version of Mego's.

                      I have one that will be for sale in the near future. As well as the Garage.

                        There's a boxed Garage that's been sitting on eBay forever at $700. I'm assuming that's a bit on the high side?

                          Oh yeah...that's IMHO really high. Not a Happy Days collector so I really don't know how much they go for...but I don't think that they should be anywhere near Mad Monster Castle status.
