According to this 1961 ad, the Great Garloo was $17.98 MSRP. That's about $155 in today's money. Quite a pricey toy for back then.

Speaking of $150 toys, that's how much the USS Flagg from GIJoe cost in 86, which would be about $350 today.

...Provided that the drink in question is a yard away from you, thanks to the short length of the remote's wire. So how lazy do you have to be to justify spending $150 just to remotely pick up small objects near you?

having been bored and watching late night infomercial shows to help me fall asleep, I can assure you, murricans will pay a lot if it caters to extreme laziness.

How expensive would $17.98 have been back in the day for the average consumer?

I had this nigga back in the day. The back part of him was solid as fuck. The day after Christmas my little brother was squirming in the recliner and fell off the side head first onto him. He got blood all over it and had to get rushed to the ER and got stitches in his head it was that tough.
