I found this at a flea market and I can't find a lot about it. I found out
thst it was a store display and found out that it came from France. I'm trying
to find out what it is worth. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a friend that has one as well. Store displays like this are a niche market.
I wouldn't pay anything for it because I don't really like it, but others
would probably pay $100-$200?

I don’t think that is accurate. In my eyes, I see that as one of the coolest
things ever! Like, the holy grail! (If I had money) I would pay upwards of $500
to $1000! Most retail displays range from $100 to even 10 grand! Best bet would
be to go to a antique toy appraiser. I’m sure he’ll give you the accurate price
(depending if he wants to “take it off your hands” or not 😂)

It is probably worth a couple hundred…. That’s what I would start it at. But
if you really need to get rid of it, I’ll give you A solid $13.94, not one
cent more.

Thanks, NG

Great find, like others have said a shop display item, very niche market.

For the right buyer up to €500, but more realistic, up to €200.

Maybe contact the Unofficial Lego Toy and Plastic Brick Museum in Bellaire, Ohio?

If you lived in Europe, I might give it a go

Having bought and sold many items similar to this, in the past 2-3 decades, I'd
say you could well get $200-$300, but unlikely a lot more.

$500 is my vote, to the right buyer.

Very cute! Likely a turtle built exclusively for the store. Some collectors
would pay up to $200 for them. I am not interested in it myself though.
