    Another price check (Gabriel Lone Ranger/Silver pristine in box)

    Gabriel Lone Ranger and Silver in 1976 box. Removed only for viewing. Silver is in his cardboard insert and wrapped in packing paper with legs twist-tied together under insert. Has packing paper around snout with rubber band holding in place. Accessory and decal bag is factory sealed and stapled to cardboard insert. Lone Ranger is in separate baggie factory sealed with his accessories and a comic book. Box is shows 35 year old shelf wear (conservatively c8-9) but contents are better than anything I can research. Colors of contents are bright and just as brand new.

    Any ideas?? or Ball park ideas?

      I paid around $150 for mine in eerily similar shape back in 2006/7.

        Yep, I saw that one and it was closest to what I'm asking but not as mint. This one is a '76 (MCMLXXVI to be specific and different art) box and the figures are encased. The LR is heat sealed in a baggie and the Silver is wired to a cardboard box insert and his body and snout is wrapped in packing paper. This has practically never been out of the box (never displayed or otherwise). All accessories for Silver also heat sealed in baggie that is stapled to cardbord insert.

        $150 sounds about what I'd expect but I certainly wanted some educated thoughts on this. Thx and any more info would be welcomed.

            ^ That's a beautiful one. I don't remember the twin sets being available in Australia when I was a kid.

                  Here are photos of the one I mean. It's the 1976 version. Just wondering what it would be worth to a collector. Not that I want to liquidate it now. But it was an unexpected find. And sorry for the crappy photo. I just now realized that someone put a thumbprint on my camera lens.
