dratomic Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 The Thomas Toy space gun pops up on ebay every now and again -- I think I've seen three in good condition this year. Common collors are red and blue, and I've seen the silver one or two other times in the past. The toy always does well, averaging around $120 each. I snagged mine for a whopping $22 (still don't know how...). It fires a small dart, which I've never seen -- if anyone has any pics, please post 'em!I knew the gun was small, but until it arrived, I had no idea just how small!

dratomic Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Yeah, it's new. Nice toy if you're into it, but not a vintage piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dratomic Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 I love the display box for the Irwin gun. One of my favorites. I can't remember why I didn't bid on it when it was up for grabs in that Morphy (?) auction a year or so ago... probably because I was broke, I suppose... Good catch, Fin -- the two look a lot alike.
