Original is hard to beat,if the best has already been done,IMO,then who wants a topper that is
so-so.
A well respected guy on RGP and Bay Area Amusements are reportedly close to reproducing the original topper-(per-se)
I know I paid $375.00 dollars for a used original topper from ebay about a year ago,I was more than ecstatic to have an original and more ecstatic to have won the bid on ebay.
