  • Pan Am Boeing 747SP. Model No. 773BL Battery Operated Hong Kong 1980s. Flashing light and real engine sound. For ages 5 and over.
  • This is a rare Walt Disney World, Epcot Mission Space X-2 Experimental Exploration Spacecraft battery-operated toy that was only available at the theme park gift shop many years ago, and the toy is no longer produced. There are three buttons on the back of the toy that make sound as well as flashing red LED lights in the engines and leading edges of wings and fins. I tried to capture the colors but they are much more vivid in person. An extremely well-made toy that also features an opening cockpit and retractable rolling landing gear. I have a demonstrator to play with and three in their original boxes for sale. These are highly sought after by space toy collectors and Disneyana collectors alike.

    See and hear the big bird in action. Watch it load and unload as it prepares for takeoff with roaring sounds and flashing lights. One of my favorite toys to display and operate for family and guests at Christmas, during the 1980's.  This is also one of the first Chinese battery toys to enter the US market. An awesome toy that has only been owned and operated by me!
  • Rocket USA R-1 Robot 2003 in GRAY is made in China. This extremely nice and mint in the box robot is a large skirted robot that is defined by the black trim pieces that go down each side of the toy. This version is quite common to find and is a great addition to collecting ALL the R-1 Robots, including the Limited Edition Black Stripe, Bare Metal and 'Rescue Robot'. Very simple battery toy which features Bump n Go action, flashing top light and eyes and clasping hands. R-1 operates on two 'AA' size batteries. This toy comes in its original box with inserts.

  • Meridan Kidzlight LED Night Light. Item 10271. Color changing LED and soft continuous white glow. Long lasting LED with night sensor. These things are just awesome and extremely rare to find now. Because they are sealed LED units, they never seem to wear out. I first saw the Meridian UFO night light at my sister's house nearly 15 years ago, which prompted me to go in search of these lights for myself. I ended up purchasing all of the remaining lights I could find and haven't seen any more available for years now. These lights are brand new and come sealed in their original blister card packaging. A must have for your sci-fi, space toy enthusiast or collector!

The cover is primed and finished in an automotive lacquer that matches the Yonezawa black color and then polished. Just remove from the package and install on your car. Absolutely no disappointments with this part! Other parts are available for this toy. The toy pictured is used to clarify the part in this listing and is not for sale.
  • A 1960's Marx Bristol 188 XF926 Jet Aeroplane. A very clean battery-operated toy in excellent working condition. The Bristol 188 XF-926 Jet airplane was made in Japan and was modeled after an experimental aircraft designed by and made by the Bristol Aircraft Company in the 1950's. The toy engines "power up" and light up one after the other. The jet then taxis along for a short distance, stops and repeats. One of the many Marx battery operated fighting jets in amazing condition!

The silver color is rare and highly desirable. It looks fantastic in the box, on your shelf or in you collectibles cabinet! Very impressive to see in full operation!

It is in excellent working condition and is always in a glass cabinet on display in my collection.
