Vtg 1967 Mattel MAJOR MATT MASON Capt Lazer Firebolt Action Set w/ Box Cannon

Item number: 375986672017
Ended: March 3, 2025 3:31 PM
Winning bid: $349.99 ($29.55 USPS Ground Advantage®)

Description:

Here we have a MMM capt lazer set. Comes with captain lazer and cannon. Missing radar piece that goes on top of cannon. Capt Lazer is complete. The cannon is a bit forth with peeling decals—tested and I got it to work with a nudge. The Capt if very clean but I couldn’t get him to work. Nothing else included other than what is pictured. See photos!

My Take: 
I'm really surprised that this set didn't go for more - it's one of those packages that almost every MMM completest is lacking. While the contents are sub-par, the box is pretty exceptional and it's all about that box - it's one of the rarest of the regular MMM released sets to acquire, for some reason.

I TOOK A BUNCH OF PICS TO HELP GUIDE IN DETERMING OVERALL CONDITION OF THE SET

AND ARE CONSIDERED PART OF DESCRIPTION

My Take:
Based on the bottom staining, I've either seen this card for sale previously, or it's from the same flood stash (most of these flood damaged cards came from Joe Demarco's basement, survivors of a hurricane flooding his Alabama home). These later carded accessories are tougher to acquire (the earlier accessories were part of a large find of 27 assortment cases in 2009 so relatively plentiful).

My Take: 
Another fairly big sale on an MMM accessory card - it's the same seller as the Space Travel Pak above so maybe a deal was made with combined shipping. The prices aren't struck (usually there's a line through the opening bid price if a lesser offer was accepted). I'm pretty sure this is a record price on the Reconojet Pak card (a decent example hasn't appeared on eBay in quite some time so that may be a factor).

REAL NICE EXAMPLE OVERALL!

My Take:
Different seller from the previous trio of sales, also a record price for this accessory card (which is a bit nicer than the previous). I remember paying an exorbitant price for the same card back in the early 2000's that had come from a case - flawless until I knocked it off a shelf and bent one corner.
