Does anyone remember these? They came out in the 60's by either Aurora or Monogram I think. I remember building Johnny Unitas and Willie Mays but don't remember any other ones. Hopefully someone else will chime in. I'd love to give these another shot now that I'm older and a little more accomplished. Hopefully someone like Moebius will pick up the ball and run with it.

I actually had the Willie Mays model. I don't remember who made it. I wish I still had the model, though. I believe it depicted him making his famous over-the-shoulder catch in the '54 World Series. I haven't seen these advertised, however. I hope you find them.

Thanks Vince. Boy does that take me back. I'd give it another go but not at that price. Like I said, hopefully another company will take the ball and run with it.
