1971.10.21 El Paso TX Herald-Post Page 23 Gibson's Discount Center Toyland Ad |
About a quarter of this full-page ad devoted to toyas including King Ding and the Major Matt Mason
XRG-1 Reentry Glider. Photo clip art of a kid hurling the loaded glider for flight (good luck, kid!). While the ad superficially appears to be for just the vehicle, the Model Number (6361) indicates that this is actually the Set that includes a Major Matt Mason - which is extremely rare and originally thought to have been an exclusive. This is evidence that the set was sold in Texas, at the least. This is a time-travel-worthy toy (nice to have hoarded a bunch in a safe place to sell today).
