It <i>is</i> blue, but it features a robot driver (he's got a boxy head and red "ears") and a graphic of a "Flying Wing" on the side of the car. An exceedingly rare toy... In 2000, at the Sotheby's auction, it sold for more than $39,000 (including the buyer's premium). I have no idea what the Asahi might be worth -- considerably less than $39,000, though. <br /><br />Hope this helps.Doc Atomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756391204121061932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768200059516433013.post-30862893492421799462010-02-19T21:33:48.385-05:002010-02-19T21:33:48.385-05:00Hey,
