Unbelievable...I wonder if there will be a bid retraction. Can't stand those
people. Otherwise, this is the most I've seen for this set. Crazy!

For that price I'm expecting this ..

Or for a few extra $$, maybe this:

their heads and hips have been glued so that I can't take the head off nor
turn the head. I also cannot take the leg/hips off.
Tried just simple warm water soaking but that did not work.
I do not know what kind of glue. I am guessing super-glue.
I did break one while trying really hard to get the hip/legs off. So I can see
where it was glued and that the body has the right torso.
Any brilliant thoughts on what to do with them or how to tackle the mysterious
glue?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

You may have a production version of these (see picture). I have a bag of these
(~30 or so). I was told there were attached to clothing, for a promo event, somewhere
in Europe (UK I think). These are fully glued, and have a clip on the back which
they used for attachment (so no air tanks). Maybe you have a bunch without the
white clip, or with clip removed.

YES - out of that entire bag, I do have one that has that same clip (as your
photo) on the back. The other 250 don't. Maybe someone took the time to
take off the clips on the others? No visible marks however. What are you going
to do with yours?
|
They most likely will just stay in a bag in one of the "don't know what
to do with this" drawer. This drawer is full of interesting stuff, misprints,
short-shots, sew-on patches, items still on sprues, test bricks, even have a
red and a black ghost in there somewhere.

| | I am about to list a few LEGO Inside Tour sets.
My challenge is that these are so rare that no useful price guides are available.
Even other channels for sale are so limited as to offer no real guidelines.
What would you do?
How would you price 4000001-1?
(yes, they are genuine, misb, real sets)
|
I have great memories from this tour, I went on the it a long time ago, forgot
if it was 2005 or 2006.
I got the red racecar, I still have it somewhere, I never opened it.
Sets like these are hard to price, as others said, start high, and come down
on price if it does not sell, but be patient if you can afford it.

1 in 26, over ~20 years on Bricklink. Likely 1 in 15-20 earlier on, now closer
to 1 in 35 or so.
