Title: Rare Tyco FX-4 (Orange)
Post by: Indigo_man on May 20, 2012, 17:18:00
Hi Guys,

I just came across this site when I was looking for some additional info about
the Tyco FX-4.  My parent cleaned out the attic and gave me back some toys from
my childhood , including this car  :D
A nice surprise to see this one back after ... 20 years I guess ( I'm 30 now :o )

The condition is very good.
The battery pack and charger are still working, there's no real damage (only a  few scratches)
The 2 rear lights don't work but the 2 others do.

I just figured out that this car is rather rare but does anyone know the value ?
I'm not sure if I want to sell it but maybe I'll place it on ebay.

PS.  I'm living in Belgium (Brussels) / don't know if selling outside Europe is
interesting with the shipping cost or other ?

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Attached some nice pictures. I can post some
more later.

Regards

Wow super rare. I have only seen the Orange one in the catalogs. Hard to say what its worth so pretty much its worth what someone will pay either to add to their collection or nostalgic purposes.may just want to keep it to give to your kid or kids one day. Show them how real toy rc cars were made.
