I couldn't save the whole box, but didn't want to throw away the cool dinosaur artwork, so I cut it apart & saved those panels. (As a kid, I apparently couldn't figure out how to carefully break down the box & flatten it. On the other hand, as a kid I never thought that boxes would become collector's items!)

I picked up a few in the massive Gay Dolphin* gift shop in Myrtle Beach, SC, USA a few years ago.

*the shop opened back in the '40s when the name was a synonym for 'Happy Dolphin'…
