TOPIC:

Original kyosho Turbo Ultima...never completed. All parts there. Comes with original box, radio, carry bag, everything you see including the original receipt from Tower Hobbies in June of '88.











$400 shipped within the continental US.

Interesting ... I wonder why someone spent all that & never built it?


Love the photobombing dog BTW

Wow its like a snapshot from 1988

Yeah even the energizer batteries are old They expire in Aug '91

I love seeing time capsule kits like this, with all the extra bits... as though they built up the steam to assemble, but never went through with it.

Some people found the early kits quite daunting, and just packed them away. I guess it's understandable, especially if it was given as a gift.

I had the fortune of coming across an AYK Viper similar to this a few years ago. It had been lightly assembled, but never finished or run. Decals were NIP. Still had a NIP battery, receipt, and many other bits. Box still great. The seller had no idea of its collectibility, it had just been bought, attempted, and then packed away in the cupboard since 1986.

I actually think vintage kits that are "newly attempted" but never run or painted, are kind of the equal of NIB kits. It's all still brand new parts. All they've done is try to assemble some bits.
