portuguesetoys Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I have all the colors, as mtrsomar refered, still in original boxes. Rared are green and black, as many oranges are repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toyman Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I missed the $49 ones, which is ridiculous, but I opted for a $99 version in cool color combination. I'm more than okay with $99 for a 'vintage' 20" Space ray gun. I can remember many times in the past when multiples have turned up and been sold off quickly, but then they're gone! ...actually, I might buy a few more! "HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!"

portuguesetoys Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I confirmed yesterday (secure source) the manufacturer of these rifles. They were not manufactured by Hercules, such as are announced, but by Sirolite, the area of Leiria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks for that. Is there any sign that we've reached the end of the warehouse find yet? I shed a little tear every time I see a new batch on Ebay selling for 50 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Brian if they are selling for 50$ probably it's the right time for you to buy one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Quote How many Brian? More than one? Yes, many more than one or two! I've always taken the view that you can't hesitate in these matters. I'm not one of the early Ebay buyers who got stung for thousands but I traded hard for a batch of them. I was a happy bunny until the wretched things kept appearing. I traded some beautiful space toys for these and now I'm looking at a big loss. I can hardly bear to look at them. Some you win. Some you lose. It's only money.

Fineas J. Whoopie Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I remember when a mint in really nice box Chinese flying saucer came up on ebay. This is the saucer that is pictured in Boogaerts and until that time only a few loose examples in poor condition had appeared on the market. I was thrilled and bid hard to win which I did at $2K. I remained thrilled until the seller, to whom I had been chatting with throughout the auction told me after the auction ended that he had three more mint in box and would be putting them on ebay shortly! I watched the second one go for I think $1500 and the next I believe $800 and so forth. But I consoled myself with the knowledge that I have done so well on most of my other toys and besides, when a rare piece comes up that you have to have being timid is not going to get it for you. I think I still did the right thing. You have to follow your instinct. It's right so often! I say bravo! you saw something you wanted and you went for it!
