[SIZE=11pt]I had mine running just a couple of weeks ago. It's interesting. Seems to need a lot of care at times. The characters aren't fabulously cute but it's unique.[/SIZE]
$40 isn't such a bad price. I have seen them sell at $60 and a little more. Yes, it is rare.
I'm not nuts about it but I never have been. I have a couple of friends who have them, they just love it.
