At least three of these kits were re-issued in the late 90s. They even put them out at Toys-R-Us (back when those stores were cool.) These should be easier to find than the originals, natch.

I never saw these before, what a neat concept!

Those are awesome! Too bad it would cost too much to buy to build now.

I never had one of these, but when I was six I had one of those giant Revell Tyrannosaurus Rex models. You know red with GLOW IN THE DARK TEETH. Who decided that that average kid would like to see huge glowing teeth?

I remember how fun it was to put together that day and how creeped out I was that night...

As a kid kits like this used to scare the crap out of me. I think it's the idea of something I could smash is now large enough to smash me.
