Comments left:	An antique mall near Appleton has one of the elusive Life-Like McDonald hamburger stand kits selling for $245. Parts and decals still factory sealed. I learned from one source that a dispute over licensing rights caused such a low output of these HO-scale kits, making them a rarity. Around 100,000 were made in 1968. They were selling so quickly that McDonald's demanded a bigger cut from profits (higher licensing fee), and the greedy Kroc family put the kibosh on the deal after Life-Like refused. The store also had a 1975 KFC stand kit, also from Life-Like, selling only for $40. A few million of these were made, as a more amiable agreement existed between Life-Like and the Col. Sanders clan.
