BANDAI VINTAGE CHOPPER (TRIKE) WITH BOX 100% ORIGINAL & FULLY OPERATIONAL RARE:
$249.00

HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY, VERY RARE VINTAGE, PLASTIC AND TIN, BATTERY OPERATED \"CHOPPER\" FROM BANDAI, LOCATED IN TOKYO, JAPAN! WHAT MAKES THIS \"CHOPPER\" UNUSUAL IS THAT NOT ONLY DO YOU RECEIVE THE ORIGINAL BOX THE \"CHOPPER\" ITSELF IS IN PERFECT OPERATIONAL CONDITION. THIS IS BANDAI\'S MODEL NUMBER: 4451.LUIOB = LIGHTLY USED IN ORIGINAL BOX.I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 DECADES AND/OR HAVE COLLECTED ALONG THE WAY! HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON . 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS VINTAGE, BATTERY OPERATED \"CHOPPER\" FROM BANDAI IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS CHOPPER IS VERY CLOSE TO BEING IN SHOWCASE CONDITION AND AS SUCH YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO SEE ANY MAJOR DEFECTS ANYWHERE ON IT OR UNDER IT. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING IS STILL WITH THIS MODEL AND HAS SERVED IT\'S PURPOSE VERY ADMIRABLY! THE BODY OF THIS CHOPPER IS IN ALL AROUND EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. THE FRAME ITSELF IS MADE FROM PRESSED METAL AS ARE THE REAR FENDERS, WHILE THE SEATING AREA, FRONT FORK (LESS THE FENDER), GAS TANK, ENGINE, EXHAUST AND THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT (REAR SADDLE BAG) ARE MADE FROM PLASTIC.YOU REALLY HAVE NO ISSUES ANYWHERE ON THIS CLASSIC \"TRIKE\" WHICH THEY CALL A \"CHOPPER\". RARELY DO YOU FIND ONE OF THESE THAT ACTUAL WORK! HERE YOU HAVE THE GAS TANK, BOTH EXHAUSTS, BOTH HAND GRIPS. BOTH REAR HUB CAPS, THE ENTIRE ENGINE, ORIGINAL HANDEL BARS, WORKING HEADLIGHT AND A GREAT FORWARD DRIVE POWERFUL ENGINE THAT DOES NOT SKIP OR SLIDE WHEN ENGAGED. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE NO TARNISH, RUST, CORROSION, DIMPLES, CRACKS (SPYDER OR OTHERWISE), MISSING OR REPAIRED ITEMS/PIECES. EVEN THE PLASTIC HAS NOT FADED ON THIS EXAMPLE (WHICH IS VERY COMMON WITH MODELS OF THIS ERA).THE CHROME HEADLIGHT, FRONT SHOCKS, ENGINE, TAIL PIPES AND WHEELS ARE STILL BRIGHT AND SHINY. THE METAL STEERING WHEEL IS NOT CHROME, BUT UNPROTECTED STEEL.... YOU HAVE NO RUST OR CORROSION PRESENT AND YOU HAVE BOTH ORIGINAL HAND GRIPS HERE. THE TIRES ARE VERY CLEAN AND HAVE NO FLAT SPOTS OR CRACKS. THE WHEELS ARE 100% ORIGINAL AS WELL AND THE REAR HUB CAPS ARE PLASTIC (AS IS THE FRONT RIM) AND STILL DISPLAY NICELY. THE CHASSIS SHOWS VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF USAGE. IF YOU LOOK REALLY HARD AND MAKE THIS AN ISSUE, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOCATE ONE OR TWO VERY SHALLOW AND SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE. NO RUST, CORROSION, DIMPLES OR CREASES APPEAR ANYWHERE ON THIS 100% TIN BODY AND CHASSIS OF THIS DUNE BUGGY.THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IS LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THIS \"CHOPPER\" IT IS IN SHOWCASE CONDITION/SHAPE WITH NO ISSUES.THIS MODEL WORKS AS DESCRIBED AND SO NOTED ON THE BOX ... SEE BELOW.SPEAKING OF THIS BOX, IT HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS! YOU HAVE SOME TEARING ON THE TOP OF THE LID SURROUNDING WHERE THE WINDOW RESIDES. YOU HAVE A REALLY NICE CLEAR WINDOW, WHICH IS A REPLACEMENT ADDED BY MY SON. THE GRAPHICS ARE CLEAR AND SHARP AND YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL EIGHT (8) STAPLES HOLDING THE LID TOGETHER, NO TAPE HAS BEEN ADDED.THE BASE IS MADE FORM STYROFOAM AND HAS NO REPAIRS AND IS COMPLETE.PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT REPRESENTING THIS \"CHOPPER\" AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), BUT I AM REPRESENTING THIS AS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THIS BANDAI \"CHOPPER\" THAT IS IN PERFECT ALL AROUND SHAPE/CONDITION AND IS FULLY OPERATIONAL.THIS \"CHOPPER\" WORKS AS FOLLOWS:ONCE YOU PLACE IN TWO (2) SIZE \"C\" BATTERIES INTO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THIS TRIKE (NOT INCLUDED), YOU THEN PLACE THIS CHOPPER DOWN ON ANY FLAT AND LEVEL HARD SURFACE AND YOUR READY TO GO!! LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE CHASSIS IS THE \"ON/OFF\" SWITCH, JUST BELOW THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT.YOU SLIDE THE \"ON/OFF\" SWITCH TO THE \"ON\" POSITION AND OFF IT GOES!!THIS \"CHOPPER\" HAS NO BUMP\'N GO DRIVE, BUT YOU CAN STEER THE FRONT WHEEL TO MAKE DIFFERENT SIZE CIRCLES. ALL THE TIME THIS CHOPPER IS POWERED \"ON\",YOU CAN SEE THE FRONT HEADLIGHT IS \"ON\". BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON . AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY \"THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION\" OR , \"I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED\". THIS TIN BANDAI, VINTAGE \"CHOPPER\" IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I AM SURE WE BOTH DO NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT\'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS!PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THEY DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
