Default Bargain rockets!!!

http://toys.shop.ebay.com/Rocketry-...d=p3286.c0.m282

Let this be a lesson to you. Sell your hoarded rockets while you're still alive to enjoy the big bucks.
And try not to fight over the bargain Gemini DC.

I like how the same genius tried to be "hip" and mixed up "Fat Albert" with "The Monkees" ... What a dipstick.

I sent this:

Just FYI... It's "Hey, hey it the Monkees"... You have posted "Hey, hey, hey" which should be followed by "It's Faaaat Albert" ;-)
