I remember begging my mom for one at radio shack.

To bad Marvel doesn’t just buy up the rights so they can publish ROM again or at least a collection of the series. <BR/><BR/>Too bad they never made a Deathlok toy so you could post it, that was a great 70s comic book character.Swinebreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947060321484913676noreply@blogger.com
