Anything less and he would stop before finishing. He was a steelworker that was asleep. He had a large pipewrench slung over his shoulder. That was actually a hook that was used for the finall part of the course. When reached the end, you would have to center a boom crane that hand a loop hanging from it. You had to line up Sleepwalker Sam and the crane just right so his wrench would hook the loop. When you did, Sam would fall off the top floor, but the loop and cable would lower him back down to ground level safely. Sam had to make it up three levels of a skyscraper under construction. As he rolled along, asleep, you had to use various controls and an elevator to guide him safely to the top. If you weren't quick enough, Sam would fall off the side. Sam was constructed quite well because he had to survive the fall. The plastic skyscraper wasn't as durable. Cool toy. No batteries needed. It took a good eye, smooth movements and two dexterious hands to get Sam to the top, then safely down again. I too have been looking for one in good shape. If you know where one can be found, email me at whutever13@yahoo.com
