$1200 seems like too much for an MTH Hudson that long ago.  The MSRP was $999.

I'm not sure about the Hudson and I did have one, but some early MTH pieces had prices that were going through the roof at that time. That is about when I got out of 3 rail and sold an MTH Y6b for $2,200. When they came out the retail was something like $1,300 but I paid $1,150. I sold some Challengers for way above retail at that time also. They went fast at those prices, too. The guy I sold to was a dealer and he turned around and marked up the price and sold the engines to another guy right there in the York parking lot.
