WTB: Bandai Ballade Sports CR-X

[bryman10]

I've only seen it once. A guy named Asuka Kuroda over in London has the only one I've seen. I've been looking to buy one for a LONG time. If anyone has one or knows where I can get one, I'd be eternally grateful.
Hit me up at [email protected] as I don't check this forum often.
thanks!

I have never heard of that car before in my life.

Same here. I thought Bandai made action figures?

[Howielong]

Hmm that is a new one to me.

[bryman10]

Yes, I know it's quite rare. As I said, it's the ONLY one I've ever seen. It is a smaller (kinda generic, actually) probably about 6-8 inches long model car produced in the mid 1980's by Bandai of the Honda CRX. Man, I'd love to have one....

So wait this is a model car. Not an rc car. Or is it a mini rc car.

[bryman10]

It's an R/C car. It was produced in the mid-'80's by Bandai. the car is blue w/ the grey bottom. It is one of those cheesy old school technology R/C cars w/ the basic controller made back in the day.
It probably cost like $8 when new. I'd pay considerably more than that to find one....

Hmm ok. I see now. did you check www.ebay.com yet.

[bryman10]

Oh yeah, I've tried ebay. I have even gone one step better and tried to find one through yahoo auctions japan (I have a friend in Japan who hooks me up w/ cool stuff from time to time---for a price).
Like I said, I've only seen it ONCE....
