1966 MATTEL MAJOR MATT MASON SPACE SHIP CASE NM, APPROX 19" TALL, VINYL IS BRIGHT & CLEAN, PLASTIC IS IN GREAT SHAPE NO CRACKS OR BREAKS. VERY BRIGHT & CLEAN. GOOD LUCK!
My Take:
These Space Ship Cases are relatively common - the issue with them is their fragile nature - first they are made of a vinyl covered cardboard which deforms and splits along the edges. Next the vacuform plastic snaps off if bumped, so they often are missing the nose-knubs (or they are cracked), and it's rare to see one that has all four thrusters intact. Finally, the hinge of the door is usually split and the vacuform shelf/seat is often broken or missing. Clearly the market shows what this one is worth.

My Take:
I'm very surprised that this one didn't go for much more. At first glance these Mexican version items look the same as the US/EU - however the similarities really stop at the mold. The plastics used were in general of different quality and hue, making for unusual variations. This particular auction was very desirable as the Estacion is pretty much intact (the black locking pins are almost always gone, just as the chrome ones are in the US/EU versions) and this is only the second or third set of instructions I've seen. Someone got a great deal on this - if the seller were in the US it would have gone for much, much more.
Another post for June to follow. John
