Radioactive Treasures!!

MuddyPoppins

Once again, I am humbled and amazed by the depths of an ocean so vast and seemingly endless, that it boggles my mind to wonder what still may be out there swimming around still yet undiscovered!!
I just won these... I believe they are prototypes, as they were discribed only as: Plarail mischief wagons "First Press exhibition limited"...they are uncatalogued with 3D faces!!! They basically either went unnoticed and under the radar, as only one other bidder was involved in the last 3 min of their auction, OR it could be that no one wanted them because they are coming from the Fukishima Prefecture and might be radioactive!?!? Lol
None the less, these two incredibly rare pieces should be coming home and will be displayed in the orchard very soon!!🙂

very nice. You must paid a lot to get these two.

Wow....its only a matter of time...

Hey, what’s a few millisieverts of ionizing radiation if you get some cool toys? 😃

I saw them, but I thought they were fake due to the troublesome van's face being smaller then the allotted spot, so I assumed they were customs.

I was prepared to empty what little is left in my bank account to win these, but as I said, they seemed to go unnoticed, (except by ThomasBlue...TB never assume anything...you know the old adage? Lol) So NO, these might be the cheapest diamonds EVER unearthed!!... They closed at a meager 1700¥ ($15.14) 😃 plus fees of course...lol

Also, Special thanks to the seller who shorted me the old purakizzu pink stewardess, and to Jauce for recovering it, but then forcing me to find something else to buy to have it shipped rather than just forwarding it to us!...if it hadn't been for that mistake, and their odd solution, I wouldn't have been looking around and would have never found them! Funny how things go.😉

Just pointed it out to some friends, apparently they are the faces from the Bandai TEC/Goldrail trucks.

MuddyPoppins

Thanks Trainfanz! It will very interesting to see how they are constructed and if they are someone's mods, or if they we're made as prototypes only to be designated to be used only in the Bandai line?
I suppose a well placed drop of superglue would be all it would take though...now I am glad they were so cheap!! Fingers are crossed that they're real...we should know for sure in a couple of weeks.

I honestly won't mind if they are fake if they're made well, as they're still very cool for the price...
But Grrrrrr...That I had to be stressed about winning them for 5 days, and that I had to set my alarm for 4am and ruin a good nights sleep if they aren't.:/

Muddy's unboxing scene 😃

I bought something similar a few days ago- it's an ERTL Donald/Douglas, painted red with a chrome face. Chances are it could be a prototype, but I have zero idea until I receive it I guess.

The silver face makes it look like a Jonlukeville special!! Lol

That reminds me of these that I saw.

I got a kick out of what they say in the description of that Listing Tblue...

Overall good condition with slight wear and tear

I have these exact pieces, @Muddy take many pictures and state the dimensions in centimeters, I'll match it up to my Bandai trucks.

MuddyPoppins

Most excellent!! That was my plan to find a member who has them, so as soon as I get them I will most definitely post the photos with measurements!! Thanks!
I guessing that most likely they are just a cruel joke, but I'm still crossing my fingers that there is hope that they're real.

Ucwepn

Wow very interested to find out more!

MuddyPoppins

Ok Starswitcher07... Here they are!!

Super

No matter whether they are real or not, they look awesome.

ooo...bridges 😃

MuddyPoppins

YES!! The baby blue ones just like yours!! I've always admired your doubled blue bridges so when I saw them I had to have them. 🙂
Also the station cleaned up nicely, and in my excitement forgot to film the missing pink stewardess that was also shipped!!

Super

They look great. And another terrific feature of the bridges is they are double length without having to use double length tracks which omits one riser enabling different configuration under the bridge. Also, isn't all the signage on that station English?
