Just for kicks, I've been imagining what would it take to construct your very own life-like SESAME STREET SET in your backyard?
If money were no object, then here are the elments to bring the show into your reality:
1) Your own SESAME STREET LAMPPOST, in the same style as it is on the show:
Cost: 600.00

2) One ROUND LAMPPOST GLOBE to put on TOP of the LAMPPOST:

2) Your own metal SESAME STREET SIGN to attach to the lamppost:
Cost: 1.00

3) One aluminum trash can for OSCAR'S TRASH CAN:

Cost: 10.00

7) Throw in replica puppets of:
GROVER, THE COUNT, ERNIE, and ELMO at approx. 450.00 each:

8) Throw in a MASTER REPLICAS KERMIT THE FROG for 180.00

And you're halfway there to creating 123 SESAME STREET in your very own BACKYARD. Just hire your neighbors to play the parts of Bob, Gordon, and Susan.
