Not mine but that's what it looks like. It's an old Japanese brand made out of tin and comes with a friction drive. Apparently one of these in mint condition with the original box can fetch for over $10,000. Mine, however, has no box, has a busted friction drive and has dents from being played with.
I know I had fun playing with it as a kid, but god damn... if someone had told me it would be worth a shit load of money when I was younger, I would have made my parents place it in a lock box at the bank.  |
Decided to sell this thing on Ebay a couple weeks ago. Apparently this thing has a far bigger collector base than I had originally thought. There were people from Japan, Australia and all over Europe asking specific questions about it. Ended up going for a couple hundred bucks, which isn't much, but considering it's 50+ years old and is half busted, I'm more than happy with it.
Also swung by Wal-Mart on my way home from work today and picked up some Hot Wheels.
E30 and E46 M3, an AE86, and a few other ones that piqued my interest. I've no idea why I buy 'em; they just end up going into a box in storage
Maybe once the basement is finished, I'll finally have a proper display case. Or... maybe in the garage once it's finally wired for power.
