Start price: £2

Buyer's Premium:

A collection of vintage and modern collectible toys and accessories. The lot includes a Mattel V-RROOM bicycle booster engine, identified by its distinctive black ribbed plastic housing and chrome-finished components. Also present is a large-scale plastic robot finished in red, black, and yellow with chrome-effect accents and studded feet. The lot features two items in their original packaging: an Astro-Scout wind-up friction-powered toy, noted on the box as a modern collector’s item made in China, and a friction-powered sedan in a white and blue box with Chinese characters. Additionally, there is a model motorcycle featuring a polished brown body with metallic-finished handlebars and engine components. The items are constructed from a variety of materials including plastic, tin-plate, and metal.


Condition report:

The collection is in varied condition. The original cardboard boxes for the Astro-Scout and the sedan show signs of shelf wear, including scuffing, edge wear, and creasing. The Mattel V-RROOM engine exhibits surface scratches and signs of use. The robot and motorcycle appear to be in generally good cosmetic order, though mechanisms and potential battery-operated functions have not been tested. Completeness is unverified.
