Have a look in toy shops etc to see what they retail for, to see how this price compares.
Pretty cool, but I'd think it would only be the die-hard collectors that would buy them for sensible money, to go with their keyrings, T-shirts, Fridge magnets & hats. If they were 1-3 quid in a garage I'd have one, a fiver would have me undecided

Ha yeah!
Funny one this, I mean, there are diecast model collectors out there who pay daft money for diecast scale tractors, traction engines, larger scale (& highly detailed) construction plant, lorries, cars etc, but RC car enthusiasm is more about RC cars rather than model appreciation (If that makes sense?). I think people would be interested in these baby Tamiyas for the Tamiya name & the iconic nature of the particular model (eg Frog, Rough Rider) & only because an RC collector knows what the model is. I can't see a diecast model collector being interested, & I'd guess they'd be too expensive to be kids toys

I was skeptical, but some just sold an "Avanta" miniature for 27 GBP

How much of that was someone thinking they were getting the real thing? - there's no info to suggest otherwise (& I wonder if that was intentional)

When it comes to miniatures, the 1/32 mini 4WDs can be worth much, much more
www.ebay.com.au...641wt_1166 I saw one sell for over US$400 around Christmas (item no longer appears on ebay) www.rctoymemories.com - A nostalgia site about vintage and retro radio controlled cars & other toys, from Tamiya, Nikko, Kyosho, Radio Shack and many more.
