    To be honest there's not much of a market for these things right now...

    It'd just go back in storage so. I know little about RC cars alas. :(

    Bloody fun car to mess about with though and genius really. You can see Nintendo must have got a sniff of what Tamiya was up to. Back in 1972 this would have been incredibly expensive (and it was, I think the price was around ¥30-40,000, which even today is a lot of money). I reckon Nintendo stripped it down, made it turn left, kept it simple and saved a packet over Tamiya's first effort that followed 2 years later.

    It does indeed look class. To be honest if it was a terrible piece of tat and just in a Nintendo box I'd want it.

    I love this site actually, might be of interest if you haven't seen it before: http://blog.beforemario.com/p/nintendo-before-mario.html

    The guy who runs that might be able to give you an accurate valuation. If all else fails I'd just like to see pics :)

    I've looked around for old Ninty toys in Tokyo but I never really know where to look outside of the Mandarake stores, the contents of which I'd normally have to sell a kidney to afford.

    Sorry mate I was being facetious. My comments were supposed to parody the usual antics you see on Pawn Stars.

    I'm sure somebody would be interested in it.
