Ah, we live and learn. If I'd had Ebay when I first found out about the big toddler sized one's, no telling what crazy damage I would have done to my bank balance! Back when I found out, I went everywhere looking for them and read the collector newspapers, etc., but they were so rare and so few people were parting with theirs, it was just impossible to find one for sale. Heck, even with Ebay and the international exposure, they are fairly few and far between. So I just didn't have the chance or I would have done the same thing. Once you get your $$ back down the road, because somebody will buy that one of yours, you will feel vindicated. You know, those last 2 on Ebay sold for very reasonable prices compared with just 18 mos. ago when I last looked for and priced them. This must be a good time to be a buyer!
