Shortly after wrapping up Issue No. 4 ("American Patrol") the PM staff
road-tripped back in time to visit Don Durant, TV star of "Johnny Ringo."
Don had recently paid the world's highest price to acquire the rare and
expensive Marx Johnny Ringo Western Frontier playset -- and we were there
to cover it's opening and set up. Don happily began to open his set,
pulling out bag after bag. The rarities began spilling out: red wagon with
all accessories, yellow wagon, the Johnny Ringo figure, the tin litho cabin
(still flat and unassembled, in pristine condition) -- and then he began to
snap pieces off the sprue.

"Wait a minute, Don -- that is extremely expensive stuff. It could lose some of its value if you do that."

Frozen for just a heartbeat, Don considered leaving the set unassembled. "What the
heck, " he mused. "I've waited this long ...."
