That aircraft carrier brings back memories. Back in the late 80s we got one for our son (8 or 9 at the time) for Christmas. As usual, Santa didn't come until after he and his sister (5 or 6) were asleep. After putting together everything else, I jump on the carrier (about midnight, IIRC). I think I crawled in the bed at 4 and the kids woke us up at 6 sharp. :D Funny thing is, I cannot remember for the life of me what ever became of that carrier. He had the little Joes for years and still has 3 or 4 of the 12" reissues from the early 90s? still sealed in the box. I guess by the time he got those he was growing out of playing with them.
