PINK THUNDERBIRD 2 SPOTTED OVER THE CITY

New LBZ Spinning Top

Readers who follow the blog might remember that sometime ago I stumbled across a LBZ spinning top on Ebay, which contained a silver Thunderbitd 2 and illustrations of the Scramble Bug and Moon Prospector. This top is pictured above.
 

 
Well I was fascinated to see yet another LBZ top containing a Thunderbird 2 on Ebay. This time TB2 is a cool pink and white. It's flying over a neat cityscape of planes, trains and automobiles. It comes with its box too, at least the main section but sadly no lid, which I speculate may have shown the toy's specific name. It always amazes me just how influential a design Thunderbird 2 was in popular culture even in the late 60's and 70's, when this toy will have been made in Germany. Anyway, I didn't bid but enjoy the pictures, courtesy of decagon7. Which TB2 do you like best, silver or pink?
