Joined the MOPPET Club Today :)

Well, saw this come up on CL and decided that a road trip was in order. It was up in Paso Robles, CA, about a 4 hour trip from Orange County. So I packed up the Buick after deciding it would fit no prob in the backseat (which it did, thank God!) and drove up to wine country. This was the first Moppet I have ever seen in person and was totally suprised as to how small it actually was. Damn, this thing is SMALL! This was Leprechaun of course, and actually is a pretty fun game. It has a greed element which always makes games a little bit better. Should I jump into the Pot O Gold right away or touch all the trees first (although the pesky Lepreshaun can touch them and reverse your efforts) to add to the pot value? Decisions, decisions. Hey if a 5 year old can play this game so can I

 

Any way here are some photos. Picked it up for $200 after a bit of negotiating. I am glad I made the 8 hour round trip to add this conversation piece and decent game to the collection.

 

Anyone else collect these Moppets?

I remember seeing one of those for Noah's Ark once at a Chuck E Cheese. I had to kneel down to play it (even at 14 I was about 6 foot) but it was fun. They're wacky to see these days since they seem so tiny.
