Nos Vintage Yonezawa Battery Operated Delta 55 Lunar Explorer Space Toy Working

THIS IS THEIR MODEL NUMBER: 812 AND THIS SPACE TOY IS 100% ORIGINAL AND 100% FULLY FUNCTIONING. NOS = N EW O LD S TOCK.

I HAVE HAD THIS MODEL STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 DECADES! HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 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 YONEZAWA "DELTA 55" IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE! THE EXACT DATE THIS WAS MADE ELUDES ME, BUT IF I WERE TO GUESS, I WOULD SAY THIS IS FROM THE MID 1970'S.

THIS YONEZAWA "DELTA 55" LUNAR EXPLORER IS COMPRISED MAINLY AND MOSTLY OF PLASTIC. I HAVE HAD THIS IN MY COLLECTION SINCE THE MID 1980'S AND NOT BEING SO BIG ON SPACE TOYS, IT WAS EASY TO PLACE THIS ASIDE WITH A FEW OF THE OTHER SPACE TOYS I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE DECADES, SOME OF WHICH ARE CURRENTLY LISTED AT THIS TIME. THIS "DELTA 55" HAS NEVER LEFT IT'S ORIGINAL BOX. IN FACT, THE ORIGINAL ELASTIC IS STILL HOLDING IT FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE BOXES CENTER "I" BEAM.

I DID REPLACE THE TOP ELASTIC AS IT WAS A SMALLER ELASTIC AND DRIED UP OVER TIME. THIS TOP ELASTIC HOLDS THE ORIGINAL REVOLVING RADAR ANTENNA IN PLACE (WHILE IN THE BOX) AND THIS WAS DONE RECENTLY AS I TESTED THIS LUNAR EXPLORER A FEW WEEKS AGO ON 10/14/19 AND IT RAN LIKE A CHARM! IT IS A COOL MODEL TO WATCH IN ACTION! THE WHEELS ARE GEARED SO THAT THEY ROLL FREELY ONLY WHILE GOING FORWARD, THIS ALLOWS THIS "DELTA 55" TO ACTUALLY "CRAWL" ALONG WHILE IT RAISES AND LOWERS IT'S BODY TO PROJECT THE EXPLORER FORWARD IN SMALL STRIDES AND NOT SIMPLY MOVE UP AND DOWN! THIS "ACTION" IS UNIQUE TO THIS MODEL FOR I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN ACTION (OR DRIVE) AS THE ONE LOCATED HERE. THIS "DELTA 55" HAS NEVER BEEN USED OR PLAYED WITH. ONCE AGAIN, AS TRUE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), IT IS AS ONE WOULD EXPECT!

THIS MODEL IS ABOUT 12 INCHES TALL (30.5 CM) AND 4 1/2 INCHES WIDE (11.5 CM). ALL OF THE FEATURES HIGHLIGHTED ON THE ORIGINAL BOX WORK AND WORK AS DESIGNED. THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE / CONDITION. EVEN THE TRANSPARENT WINDOW IS ORIGINAL TO THIS MODEL AND IT'S STILL FACTORY ATTACHED TO THE CHIPBOARD BOX! THE COLORS AND GRAPHICS STILL POP TO THIS DAY AND THE BOX DISPLAYS WELL WITH THE "DELTA 55" IN OR OUT OF IT.

DUE TO THIS WINDOW YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY WHAT IS INSIDE OF THIS BOX. ON THE VERY TOP, YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL RETAIL STICKER OF "4.99". ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PROTECTIVE INSERTS ARE IN PLACE.

I WOULD ASK THAT YOU INSPECT ALL OF MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. IN ADDITION, THESE PICTURES DO BECOME A VITAL AND IMPORTANT PART OF THE DESCRIPTION HEREOF. I TRIED TO CAPTURE THE EXPLORER DOING IT'S CRAWL FORWARD AS THESE PICTURES ARE IN SUCESSION. 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! ALL-IN-ALL YOU WILL BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE ANOTHER YONEZAWA "DELTA 55" LUNAR EXPLORER THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS BABY DOES!

ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX AND NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PLEASED TO ADD TO THEIR COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE/VINTAGE JAPANESE/AMERICAN SPACE TOYS! THIS VINTAGE YONEZAWA "DELTA 55" LUNAR EXPLORER IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL, OF AN ERA THAT HAS PASSED.

A GOLD T/RATED POWERSELLER WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND. I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD A FEW RUN-IN'S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS.

THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION. THIS RARE PIECE WILL QUICKLY BECOME THE FOCAL POINT OF ANY COLLECTION, LARGE OR SMALL! CHANCES ARE BETTER THEN AVERAGE THAT YOU'LL NEVER SEE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE AGAIN AS TRUE NOS, UNLESS I OPT TO SELL OFF MY SECOND "DELTA 55"!

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU.... THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE. IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL. DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE. THIS IS LOCATED JUST BELOW MY SELLERS ID AND FEEDBACK TALLY.
