No whine thread on toys/memorabilia, so here goes.

This Wiking van would be worth the money if it were all intact. That's a $150 chip of plastic missing from the nose! (It could be repaired, but would still not be original.)

Also, the box is for a different model, because the end flap indicates Sealing Wax red rather than Dove blue!

None of this is to say I wouldn't want to bring it home! Very Happy

$1700 for horns?

This seems crazy to me. I recall these being around $250 or so but maybe that was years ago.

That would be something you would put under glass rather than actually use.

Less of a whine and more of a simple reality. Germans spend crazy money on Wiking 1/40th.

What this one has going for it (aside from being an early convertible) is that it appears to be a Standard model. (Plain gray seats, black steering wheel, lack of chrome and so forth). I've never seen one before. Unusual variations can blow the price sky high.

Nothing I hear about Wikings really surprises me these days. Those who were all aboard the Wiking train early are the lucky ones. For the rest of us, that train ticket will be expensive!
