I'll never forget the biggest rip-off of my life. My experience also took place in the 70's. There was an ad in a Sgt. Rock comic book for a complete battle set. It had tanks, trucks, jeeps, planes, ships, and ton's of soldiers. I saved my allowance for several weeks and placed my order. I eagerly waited on the postman every day, looking for my package. After about two weeks, it finally came. I ran out to meet the postman, and he handed me a small box about six inches long. I was puzzled. Surely this was something else. When I opened it, there was my army set. Flat plastic military vehicles and men. They looked like those markers they use to track troop movements on battle maps. I was crushed. They made it look so good in the comic book.
