I’ve been watching this local channel called MeTV which airs classic shows from the 50s-80s. I’ve been really into M*A*S*H lately and happened to spot a Craigslist post for the original playset and a few figures. The seller agreed to $60 for the boxed playset and seven figures. I kind of expected there to be a missing piece or two...got it home and it included the entire shebang lol. Instructions, accessories, stickers and even the sticker sheet! The stickers have lost some grip so I put the loose ones aside to glue them back on. The buildings are made of a lightweight plastic so they’re quite hard to get together. The instructions even suggested glue or double sided tape. The Swamp has a crack on the roof but otherwise the set is in perfect condition. The figures even included the variant Hawkeye with blonde hair. Unfortunately no Hot Lips or Klinger in drag 😭 I’m really hoping I luck out and find them to go along. I was quite surprised the seller let it go so cheap. I did some digging and couldn’t find a complete one under $200. The box is beat up a bit but for an almost 40 year old set, it’s pretty together! Thanks for looking guys!

That's bad ass. And a really good price for something like this too. Congrats!

Thanks guys! Yeah I’m really shocked he let it go so cheap. He even mentioned how much the set and figures sell for lol. I wish they weren’t so hard to come by, I’d love to have Hot Lips just to round out the crew!

How are the joints on the figures? Are the torsos loose?

I have a M*A*S*H Bell H-13 Sioux Helicopter made by Corgi. It's not from the TV show but it's one just like it. My Uncle was a H-13 Mechanic in the Army.

I forgot to mention I love “MeTV”! “Heroes&Icons” is another great channel.
