Title: Tyco Powerball (1989) info?
Post by: fatboyfsx on December 14, 2011, 15:05:18

Hey I was wondering if any of you guys had one of these Powerball sets, and if they are rare at all today.  They look like they might be kind of fun to play with friends, but also a little weird.  Don't remember too many R/C cars that had games included.  Then again I guess it is just a whiffle ball with little goals  ;D

i was thinking about getting one of these! i don't see them often, but i don't look for them, so there might be some rarity, but value probably not as much, i think its a cool novelty to have and play.

Yea I bet it would be fun to play if you had 2-4 of em all playing at once, or teams of 2!

Unless I'm wrong, it looks like there is only one car per package, so finding all 4 would be a task in itself.

That does look pretty cool and I agree that trying to find 4 of them would be a pain.
