I had the precinct playset and most of the figures. I found 90% of them in random toy stores marked down several times. They would NEVER have more than one or two in any store but I loved the play features. Never ever saw Sweetchuck or Mr. Sleaze. Never saw Hightower either. Loved the spring loaded jail cell in the play set.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07267658430221526676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465846926358835088.post-18222400028335890812015-08-03T07:06:07.851-04:002015-08-03T07:06:07.851-04:00It was most likely a scenario where the toys didn&...It was most likely a scenario where the toys didn't sell well enough to justify stores in your area ordering anymore cases. Sad part about it is that this was the case around most stores in the USA as well. The figures were really hard to find beyond the initial release, and most of them ended up in clearance bins.The Toy Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388826499722972069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465846926358835088.post-48137724481662481562015-08-02T10:26:15.411-04:002015-08-02T10:26:15.411-04:00I remember being so excited when these came out.

I never him or Captain Harris. I ended up getting house as a mail-away. I used that playset for years, typically as an extra building for my Jurassic Park toys or as a police station for RoboCop.
