It's Ideal Again

This 1950's [?] Ideal X-19 Space Fighter Transport recently graced Ebay US. It sold for a staggering £940, well over a thousand dollars. Is it really that unusual? I know very little about this American toy except for covering it a year ago or so on the blog as it looks sort of similar to the later JR21 Rocket Transporter. Paul V reminded me about this recently. Did Ideal sell this toy outside of the US?

  1. Is it rare? like the proverbial garden fertilizer found under a rocking horses's tail!

  2. Hi. I bought this ship. Believe or not, i would have paid much more. The price i paid i consider it a steal. I'm building this coming winter a futuramic spaceship diorama. It will feature four ships, mostly complete. The scale of this transport is almost exact to the ships. I never in my life time thought i would acquire one these in this color variation. The rarity of this toy goes way beyond the futuramic ship. It is MINT.
