I am currently selling many other interesting items on Ebay & I combine shipping on multiple purchases if they can be safely packaged together in one shipping box. If you are planning to purchase multiple lots from me Please contact me before bidding and I can estimate shipping costs for you and let you know if the items can be shipped together or not -Especially on fragile items like clocks & other breakable items. For Example I can ship a clock and coins together in one shipping box no problem. So please contact me and I will be happy to work with you. There is too much of a risk for damage during shipping therefore I must judge individually per item per shipment –Thanks!
Please ask questions. I can send additional photos thru e-mail. Please contact me to request photos and allow 24 hours for a reply.
I'm not sure why but Storm seems to be a bit harder to come by than the other members of the Space Mission Team. While the card and bubble aren't perfect, I think that this one sold at a bargain price.

Description
Here we have this Rare1968 Major Matt Mason Talking Command Console. This is quite a treasure to find! Although one of the chairs are snipped it does not subtract away from the great appeal of this item. Any collector would be excited for this piece. The outside vinyl casing is in excellent condition with no splitting or tearing of any kind. It has a very new like look to it, the picture on the back has no discoloration or paint chips. The battery compartment is very clean. There is no corrosion, or rust of any sort in, on or around it that I can tell. There is light splitting and breakage on a rivot in the inside corner of the command center area in the console. When you pull the pull cord it only retracts and something inside spins, there is no talking. On the control panel there is a decal coming loose and is slightly torn. This console measures about 12.5" x 8.5" x 4.5". The handle on this console case is in perfect condition. The front reads, 1968 Mattel Inc. Printed in USA. The box of this item reads Stock No. 5157. Astronauts NOT Included. 1968 Mattel, Inc., Made in USA. Patent in USA, Patent in Canada, 1962. Other Patents Pending. Mattel Toy Makers The box of this command console is also in excellent condition. There is some very light edge wear on one edge, and a corner is crinkled. But this box really is in exquisite condition for its age. It measures about 13" x 9" x 5". The rarity of these items is absolute. Although the description of the damage sounds severe it is mostly mild and has very little to no impact on how ravishing its appeal. The photos show this item and its condition, but if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Be sure to add me to your favorites list! I'd like to thank you for your time and views today, while wishing you Happy Bidding!
My Take
It wasn't too long ago when these sold for $150-200 in the box like this - seems it may not be as desirable as it once was. This one has the label right-side-up on the box - something rather rare for this particular box, for some reason - an added boon for the winner! This auction featured some of the best photography of any I've seen of late - you get to know exactly what's being bid one with all the wonderful images.
Major Matt Mason Space Mission Team (MIB)
Item number: 140380816337
Ended: Feb 11, 201017:42:42 PST
Winning bid: US $976.66
Description
Major Matt Mason Space Mission Team, mint in box condition. Stock # 6337 part of Mattel's Men in Space Toy Line. This is the rare and seldom found Mission Team that is in mint condition. While the box has been opened on one side the contents have never been played with and are still in their original packaging. This unique set includes a Matt Mason, Sgt. Storm, Doug Davis and Callisto figure along with his sensor shoulder harness as well as one Space Sled, one red Cat Trac their decals and helmets for each astronaut.
Condition: The box is in excellent condition with clear photo images of Matt Mason standing on the lunar surface, Callisto wearing his sensor harness, Sgt. Storm skimming over the moon's surface on his space sled and Doug Davis driving his red Cat Trac. The insert flap is intact and there are no tears, writing or crunch marks in box. The Matt Mason, Sgt. Storm, Doug Davis and Callisto figures along with their helmets, sensor and decals are all in their original plastic packaging and in excellent condition. All figures have never been played with and have no paint loss. This is also true of Space Sled and Cat Trac. The set has its original instructions which are in very good condition with no tears, smudge stains or yellowing. There are only a couple of creases. There is also the original receipt present when the item was purchased. A must have set for the serious Matt Mason Collector.
My Take
Very nice set - actually I think it may have once been one of mine that I sold a few years ago (replaced it with a really crisp, minty sealed box). These are still selling strong - although it has taken a hit in recent economic times - I sold this same set (or it's twin) in the early half of the last decade for $1200.
Major Matt Mason with Cat Trac (MIB)
Item number: 140380999335
Ended: Feb 12, 201011:29:35 PST
Winning bid: US $182.50
Description
Major Matt Mason with Cat Trac, mint in box condition. Stock # 6318 part of Mattel's Men in Space Toy Line. This is the Matt Mason figure wearing his helmet sitting atop a red Cat Trac waving out of the square plastic window box. The artwork on the reverse side depicts Matt Mason riding along on his Cat Trac over the lunar landscape with shadowed craters and cliff's in the background. This box includes a Matt Mason figure, his helmet and one red Cat Trac.
Condition: The box is in good condition with the plastic square bubble completely adhering to the cardboard backing, the back of the box has mild yellowing. The top seam of the plastic window is slightly dented which causes the top to buckle up a little and there is a faded/cleaned 1.00 written in black marker on top of plastic bubble. The Matt Mason is the blue strapped early figure and is in mint condition with no paint loss however the helmet visor has come off of his helmet and is stuck on his back. Neither the helmet or the visor are broken. It must have come off when originally packaged. The Cat Trac is also in mint condition.
My Take
The cat-trac carded figures seem to hover around this price - especially for the more common astronauts. This is a fairly decent example.
