Its me again ;D Had a long weekend and time to make some fotos. This is a little Nakajima Flying Saucer UFO Series special. My collection is pretty incomplete, but I like them. The quality of these Nakajima Toys is fantastic. Heavy diecast, cool electronic gadgets, nice details...just perfect! Lets start into the Nakajima cosmos... This is UFO 1. Great 40/50ties rocket style...old school! This is UFO 2. ....upss, lost in space ;D dont have it yet... This is UFO 3. Again classic saucer-style (2 yellow "jet-rockets" missing) has a "rotate" action feature UFO: Space Base. Found it on a flea market in germany 14 years ago (didnt know what it was at that time) In combination with UFO 1 it looks great. Real heavy base with lots of cool details. Blinking electric light and "light up movie projector". I love it this is the "light up movie projector", shows space scenes. More infos about Nakajima: toyboxdx.com/datafiles/data/nakajima/The UFO Series is a very small toy series so the chance to get it complete is very high. But you have to like it. If you have more UFO stuff post it! enjoy

Very nice toys. I've been meaning to pick these up (but I'm not paying what the BIN price is on ebay for the set, that's for sure ). Thanks for the pics.

thx Bill.
the set for US $690,00 from the guy (marumaru) from taiwan. ok...set looks great, everything mint in japanese boxes. but $690,00 ...hmmmm...this set is for sale for months. the guy has many nice pieces, but all a bit too expensive I think.
Here is a UFO 3 for sale (ebay380105802410), US $47,88 starting price. I bought my MIB UFO 1 from him.

Yes, I was watching that one - unfortunately a couple of other things have come up this week that, well, don't show up too often and I want to try to get. But thank you for the ID.
Bill

Nice, nice, nice venson1969! I love the box of the space base, the artwork looks like a "Inoshiro Honda movie poster", great! But I didn't know that there is a insect-alien-figure that belongs to the UFO series, must be very scarce ;D

Nice pics, guys. I've always said that these are some of my favorite toys in my collection. I know I've posted this pic before both here and elsewhere, but I thought I'd put it up again since its appropriate to this thread.

Sweet! I always thought it was kinda weird that flying saucers had "UFO" written on them. ;D ;D

hi KingboyD, thanks for info. Thats the price I thought I've to pay for it. In the same price range as UFO 1 (got it for $47 MIB). I think a MIB UFO Space Base would be much more expensive.

What is the string for that is included with UFO 1? I presume you can string it up and watch it sail accross the room.

You're right Bill. Here's a foto of the Box where you could see it. I didn try this action feature yet. I'm afraid my UFO 1 makes a crash landing
