Hello everyone out there! I have this super cool item from Dinosaur War Izenborg/Aizenborg... the flying battle ship with the retractable spinning drill on the front. It's from the 1970's and I have the original box & packaging. I also have 3 of the original little red missiles/projectiles. It's in great shape & all parts work. I cannot find any others out there on the internet for sale. It is a very rare item, I believe. How do I figure out the value of this? Does anyone know? Also, is anyone interested in buying it? Let me know! Thanks! ... I tried attaching a picture but am unable to.... so if you want to see it, let me know and give me your email address & I can email you a clear photo of the Aizenborg. Thanks!

There is the small (3 inches) diecast version and a larger plastic version. I think you are referring to the diecast one. The original missiles come on a tree so sounds like they have been removed. It also depends on the condition of the rubber thread. A complete one with loose missiles and decent box is about $150-$200 off yahoo japan by the time all fees are added.

Thank you so much for that input. Yes, I have the small diecast version of the Aizenborg. I just looked at it again & realized that I have NO rubber tread on the bottom. It's completely missing. Also, you are right, I only have 3 missiles & no "tree" that they came on. But I have the box and the Styrofoam insert it sits in. The box is in decent shape & the battleship is in great shape.
My dad traveled to Japan when my brother was a little boy (in the 1970's) & brought back this & 2 other fun items... a Popy GA-81 chogokin Daitetsujin 17 & Skyzel skyjet capsule toy from "Space Ironmen Kyodyne". I recently discovered them in a box in the basement & now am trying to figure out what to do with these 3 items from Japan. I am not a collector. I'm probably going to sell all three. Do you have any recommendations for me as to the best way to sell them? How do I reach those who might be interested in these vintage items? I have searched the internet & found this website to help me in my endeavor but could use some more guidance. Thanks!!

Your best bet is eBay. This is strictly personal experience. I find starting at 0.99 giving me the best chance of getting the most out of the item. Sometimes a high starting price or reserve would discourage people from bidding at all. Buy-It-Now requires you to know the general ball-park value of your toy. Do a little research on eBay and you should pick up the key words pretty easily.
