Perhaps some 90s kid with a neo geo console and several games ($200 each) might come close

I grew up in a wealthy area with lots of spoiled kids in huge houses with massive basement playrooms, and we all loved GI Joe, and only one (1) kid had the USS Flagg

It was expensive, and so big that you absolutely had to have a full room devoted to it.

My buddy's USS Flagg had a sad fate though - he had a huge spend the night birthday party with like 15-20 dudes. We stayed up all night at these. One kid got off his Ritalin and freaked out, and in a fit of rage picked up the entire USS Flagg and threw it up into a ceiling fan, breaking both the Flagg and the ceiling fan.

Cr.

Excellent analysis. The 90s niche mega consoles did come close, but the real estate costs of the Flagg put it way over the top.

But in deepest proleland where I grew up, there were things where the toy itself wasn’t the status signal. One friend in particular had a well-graded dirt go-kart track through the wooded part of his family’s property. And, unlike every single other country kid, this kid’s dad kept the fleet of several go-karts in actual, no bullshit, working condition.

obviously having a go kart track in your yard is fucking 180000 and signs of fun parents.

The USS Flagg was fucking huge - like 7.5 feet long (90 inches long, 36 inches wide, and 32.5 inches tall), and 45 lbs. You couldn't move it aside to "store" it out of the way, it literally had to be the centerpiece of an entire room to do it right. Poor kids didn't have a "room" to do this in, and even houses with lots of land for go kart trails didn't necessarily have this.

Yeah there was only one kid I remembered who had this.

Also Cobra’s planes were much cooler than GI Joe’s, so we’d pretend Cobra captured the aircraft carrier and stocked it with those blue jets that had missles on the wings.

listen, the Cobra jet was an A-10 Warthog - very cool

However, the GI Joe Striker (f-14 Tomcat with folding wings and detractable landing gear) and the helicopter (a Marine Corps Super Cobra) with spinning blades. Both were so fucking cool

The aircraft carrier was in a league of its own. It was 7 feet long!
