Turtle Blimp
 

As many turtle figures and vehicles I have, I have yet to add this great peice to my collection.
So I have a few questions to those who have one.
What would you say is a fair price for a loose one ?
And how well on average do they hold air ? Do any hold it completely to be displayed.
I would love one day to hang the Turtle Blimps from the ceiling for a great display.

Okay well it all depends one which one you get. There are two different versions of the Turtle Blimp, the all Green Camo one is the original one and the Green with Yellow and Orange is the later version and is a little higher in price from what I can tell. I've seen the Blimp go up and down in price over the years on ebay, but generally for a loose complete one 20$ or under is a good price. This was produced early on so there are a lot of them out there.

When it comes to holding air, as long as there are no holes you should only have to refill it every couple months to make sure it doesn't fully deflate. Even when inflated you'll probably still have a few wrinkles in there, but it does look great when all done and all four Turtles will hang from the bomb holders.

I have both, both MIB and loose. They do hold air quite well. both of the loose ones I aquired had small holes in the blimp but they were easy to repair. If the hole was near a seam a drop or two of super glue sealed it up. if it wasin't near a seam I just used a small piece of scotch tape. They have held up like that for years with only one or two refills.

I just bought one loose, missing two bombs, for about $20. The only problem I have with mine is that I moved and now the rubber piece that connects it to the glider broke from the blimp. It's fixable, but I just need a better holding super glue.

I would say that $20 is a good price for any of them loose. If they're complete, I would say about $25 - 30... depending on the "model."

$70 seems to be the going rate MIB. The earlier vehicles MIB are highly sought after on eBay, especially the ones they used in the show, and the Turtle van and blimp were used quite often.

The van actually goes for $60 mib now which is a pain in the ass cuz I don't have a boxed party wagon yet.

Yea...i'd say b/w $60-$70 is the average rate on all of those eariler vehicles depending on the day..i was lucky to win quite a few of them MIB a while back (heres the ebay link )...i still have yet to get either blimp in box yet, but I do have one loose/incomplete...

yeah i saw that link i ****ing envy you for that you pig ****ing piece of saxfkafdff

Seriously though nice score. I actually missed out on a module vehicle mib for $10 recently and regret it very much as I don't have one yet.
