Re: Metal Thunderbirds toy number 2 With Number 4 Inside
I can't tell if you are talking about Ford Thunderbirds, or planes, or action figures. And why are you keeping the maker's name a secret??<br />
Re: Metal Thunderbirds toy number 2 With Number 4 Inside
<p>Hirons is talking about Thunderbird metal toys from the Thunderbirds television show that ran during the mid-60's. I also had all of the Thunderbird metal toys when I was a kid - the ones made by Dinky. There were at least two runs of the toys made by Matchbox - the more recent being during the 1990's, and several runs by different manufacturers over the years - Corgi, Takara, Dinky, and even Hot Wheels. There were several Japanese manufacturers as well - Konami, Aoshima, Yugin, and Nescafe (yes the coffee, packaged as promotional items). Since there were so many versions from several manufacturers we really need to know who made the Thunderbird number 2 toy that you are referring to. It should be stamped on the bottom of the toy. </p><p>If you happen to have the Matchbox number two then it was made in China in 1992. I've seen them sell for anywhere from $10.00 to $50.00 for ones in mint condition.</p><p>Pictures of your toys would also help. </p><p>- Joseph </p>
