My Take:
I've very surprised at the ending amount of this auction - this is a very nice example of the MMM MAC cap, which could only be purchased via the MAC club and a coupon in the US. They typically sell in the $150-300 range when they're nice. Someone got an exceptional deal.

MAJOR MATT MASON, MATTEL'S MAN IN SPACE, SPACE BUBBLE IN BOX 1968

Item number: 126535594270
Ended: Jul 7, 2024 6:03 PM
Winning bid: $165.00 ($10.80 Standard Shipping)

Description:
Mattel's Man in Space Major Matt Mason Space Bubble.  Contains space bubble, astronauts and space vehicles not included.  Box is in nice condition and toy as well.

 





My Take:
I believe that this auction ended at about the going rate for a complete Space bubble in a complete box, especially including the often missing Crawler yoke. I think it would have gone for more with the instructions and of course, if it was store stock even more.

MATTEL MAJOR MATT MASON XGR-1 SPACECRAFT GLIDER VEHICLE 1970

Item number: 196470061365
Ended: Jul 7, 2024 3:22 PM
Winning bid: $164.99 ($13.31 Standard Shipping)

Description: MATTEL MAJOR MATT MASON XGR-1 SPACECRAFT GLIDER VEHICLE 1970


My Take:
Several XRG-1 sales during July - seems we've established a price for a loose example. Even though this one has a damaged bubble, the riveted canopy makes it much harder to find so the end price of the auction is very close to the last one that sold.

My Take:
This is a decent condition example of the XRG-1 - it seems to be hard to find with a canopy, relatively unbroken and in decent shape. I think this is about what it's worth.

HAS THE ORIGINAL WHITE TWIST TIE DOWN

THIS IS HOW I BOUGHT IT NO BLISTER BUBBLE OR FIGURE

I TOOK 24 PICS TO SHOW OVERALL CONDITION WHICH I WOULD GRADE AVERAGE

C+/-

IF YOU DO BUY IT NOW I WILL ADD A NICE MAJOR MATT MASON FIGURE


MONEY BACK IF NOT HAPPY























My Take:
As I reported last month when this sold for $99 - the card is very rare with less than 10 examples known to exist. Someone decided to go for it. The orange-background card/bubble for the figure was sold at some Mattel locations to employees so they can be found and easily added to this to make it store stock, provided a nice minty glider is available to replace the one with this set.
