Item History & Price
PERFECTLY WORKING (IN ORIGINAL SHAPE/CONDITION) WITH IT'S ORIGINAL BOX. NO SURPRISES HERE .... JUST A PRISTINE VINTAGE, BATTERY OPERATED DAISHIN APOLLO - II AMERICAN EAGLE LUNAR MODULE WHICH WORKS AS DESIGNED AND DESCRIBED ON THE ORIGINAL BOX. THIS MODEL HAS WHAT THEY CALLED THE NEW "MYSTERY ACTION" WHICH IN TIME BECAME KNOWN AS "BUMP 'N GO".
THIS NEW "MYSTERY ACTION" ALLOWS THIS LUNAR MODULE TO BE CONSTANTLY MOVING AROUND ON THE SURFACE FLOOR. ON THE UPPER SECTION OF THIS... LUNAR MODULE, YOU HAVE NO BREAKS ON ANY OF THE PLASTIC PIECES NOR ANY RUST, DENTS OR CORROSION ON ANY OF THE TIN SECTIONS. ALL OF THE GRAPHICS YOU SEE ON THIS LUNAR MODULE ARE HERE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY. THIS MEANS THAT THEY WILL NEVER PEAL OFF OR BLEED THROUGH AS THIS IS PRINTED DIRECTLY ONTO THE TIN.
ALL OF THE FOUR (4) RED LEGS ARE ORIGINAL TO THIS UNIT AS IS THE REVOLVING ANTENNA. AGAIN, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT YOU HAVE HAD NO REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THIS LUNAR MODULE.
THE CHASSIS IS AS CLOSE TO NOS AS ONE COULD ASK FOR. NO ISSUES EXIST WITHIN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND THE BATTERY COMPARTMENTS DOOR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE ALSO WITH NO ISSUES.
THE ORIGINAL 3 TRANSPARENT ORANGE SECTIONS ARE IN EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION WITH ONE OR TWO TINY SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT STATING A CLAIM THAT THIS LUNAR MODULE IS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) FOR IT IS NOT. HOWEVER, I DO CLAIM THAT'S IT'S ORIGINAL AND 100% FULLY OPERATIONAL. THE ORIGINAL LIGHTS STILL FLASH!
THE ORIGINAL BOX DOES HAVE SOME FADING AND A FAIR AMOUNT OF BOX RASH FROM BEING MOVED AROUND OVER THE DECADES. YOU DO HAVE SOME ADDED TAPE AND GLUE ON THE INSIDE OF THE LID, NOT MUCH, BUT THIS SHOULD BE NOTED. BEING SUCH A LARGE BOX, IT OFTEN FOUND IT'S WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF MY TOY TOWERS AND AS SUCH YOU DO HAVE SIGNS OF DEPRESSION ON THE LID AND SOME SIDES. SOME SMALL PIECES OF THE LID HAS BROKEN OFF AS THE CHIPBOARD HAS BECOME BRITTLE OVER THE DECADES. YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL PROTECTIVE INSERT INCLUDED.
THIS LUNAR MODULE TAKES TWO (2) SIZE "D" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED). IT'S ABOUT 10 1/2 INCHES TALL (27CM) WITH A FOOTPRINT OF 7 X 7 INCHES (18CM X 18CM).
ONCE THE BATTERIES ARE IN PLACE, YOU SIMPLY SWITCH SLIDE THE RADAR ANTENNA INTO PLACE AND THEN ON THE CHASSIS YOU SWITCH THIS TO "ON" AND PLACE THIS LUNAR MODULE DOWN ON ANY LEVEL AND HARD SURFACE, KEEPING IN MIND THAT NONE OF THESE VINTAGE "MYSTERY ACTION DRIVES" WERE DESIGNED WITH CARPET IN MIND. ONCE RELEASED, THIS LUNAR MODULE WILL TAKE OFF, EMITTING IT'S STRANGE LUNAR SOUNDS, WITH IT'S INTERNAL LIGHT FLASHING AND IT'S DUAL RADAR DISHES REVOLVING. SUDDENLY THE LUNAR MODULE WILL STOP MOVING, THE DOOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPEN AND THE ASTRONAUT WILL APPEAR! ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS LATER, THE LUNAR MODULE WILL TAKE OFF AND SUDDENLY THE DOOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE AS THE ASTRONAUT DISAPPEARS BACK TO THE INSIDE OF THE CRAFT AND ALL THE TIME, IF THIS MODULE WERE TO STRIKE A WALL OR OBSTACLE, IT WILL VEER AWAY AND REGAIN IT'S DIRECTION.
THESE ARE THE FEATURES WHICH THE BOX DESCRIBES THESE AS THE "7 AUTOMATIC ACTIONS", ALL OF WHICH WORK PERFECTLY AND WITHOUT EFFORT.
DOMESTICALLY SENT VIA THE USPS FULLY INSURED.
INTERNATIONALLY SENT VIA EBAY'S GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP). OTHER SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE WITH PRIOR CONTACT VIA EBAY'S MESSAGING AND PRIOR TO MAKING THE PURCHASE. YOU THE BUYER BECOME SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL "IMPORT FEES" AND ANY ADDITIONAL "OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES".
MY PICTURES DO A FAR BETTER JOB THEN MY DESCRIPTION ABOVE, PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE PHOTOS DO BECOME A VITAL PART OF THE DESCRIPTION, SO BE SURE TO CHECK THESE OUT REALLY THOROUGHLY AND IF ANY QUESTIONS DO ARISE, FEEL FREE TO ASK.
I AM TRYING A SHORTER CONDENSED APPROACH TO MY LISTINGS AS I HAVE LITERALLY MORE THEN A THOUSAND MODELS TO ADD.....
WHOEVER PURCHASES THIS MODEL WILL BE PROUD TO ADD IT TO THEIR COLLECTION, IT'S A RARE MODEL SELDOM SEEN HERE ON EBAY OR ELSEWHERE, ADD TO THIS THAT YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX AND YOU HAVE YOURSELF A REAL KEEPER HERE!
