NFL buggy helmet cars ??

[toys2cool]

hey guys, I bought a few of these and was hoping to complete the set :grin:

does anyone know if there's a guide somewhere online for these? I'd like to know exactly what years these were released and which teams,variations etc...

I looked online and I see they have a blue helmet and white helmet Oilers so I was curious which was older or better? these are from before my time so nay info would be great
thanx guys :grin: and thanx Chris for hooking it up bro

What's it look like? Just asking because I've seen one that are the same scale as Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars.

yeah they're about the same scale in cars, the helmet is pretty big though, like this ARIZONA CARDINALS VINTAGE HELMET BUGGY. - eBay (item 230591795677 end time Mar-30-11 08:22:16 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ARIZONA-CARDINALS-VINTAGE-HELMET-BUGGY-/230591795677?pt=US_Football_Fan_Shop&hash=item35b05791dd)

Found this site listing the buggy sets with a few pics. Go about 3/4 down the page. I think the Oilers blue helmet came before the white one.

Not what I was thinking of. The ones you're looking for look more like modified versions of the helmets that you get out gumball machines. The ones I saw had a different material for the helmet.

thanx bro, looks like there's another variation of the Bengals as well, one with stripes and one with the word Bengals

The Bengels added stripes to their helmets in the early 80's.

it's weird cause on the site posted above the guy has a carded one with stripes...were these produced till the 80's? to me the stickers look almost exactly to those of the vending machines

I definately got mine in the 70's, probably around 1975. I got the NFC East and my brother got the AFC East. I remember all 5 coming in a brown box and having to build the cars and add all the stickers. My guess is my parents ordered them out of a Sears Wishbook or another catalog. I don't know how long they were sold and I never remember ever seeing them in any stores. I definately want to get at least the NFC East set back again someday but I'm not paying $50 a car. Congrats on getting yours.

thanx bro, yeah i could'nt see myself paying that much unless they were carded...but I got a super sweet deal so I can't complain :grin:

In my 1974 JC Pennys Christmas catalog they are listed in there for 5 team buggys per division for $8.98. a set. Grabbed a couple too thanks to Chris!

^ That's probably where my parents got mine from. I remember getting them for Christmas.

yeah cause the single carded ones already came with all stickers applied if I'm not mistaken
