Wow, at $17.99 for the Sesame Street Fisher-Price clubhouse set, that would have been on the steep (price) side… I'm getting a feel, from your catalogs, that in the mid to late 1970s, $10 was a moderately expensive toy, or at the very least, you could expect a deluxe toy set at that price. That said, I remember this toy well and can't believe the enormous fun I had twirling characters in the roof-top basket and playing with the connectable blue and red barrels. I was disappointed to learn that Fisher-Price no longer makes toys in this style. Now, their figures are all vinyl and very rounded–I infer they are less of a choking hazard, yet they also have molded arms, and the like. I guess that toys for very little kids are actually made with the parents in mind… parents are attracted to the fancier looking toys…
