Help -
I have a vintage Snowspeeder (date stamp: 1980) that I can't identify. It is NOT 3 3/4 scale. I mistakenly thought it was Micro Collection, but is NOT. (but seems the right size!)

It has two (2) pieces of white plastic (the body and the canopy) but all other details are molded into the body. The canopy opens to reveal two seat-like platforms, but it is open on the bottom.

It seems complete, and aside from some dirt, is unyellowed.

Anyone have any ideas?

THANKS!

Fair enough - I was hoping I wouldn't have to dig the blasted thing out to take pictures - BUT, here they are. Crappy lighting - sorry.

Destro is there for scale. He was hanging out on my desk anyways.

Thanks for any input.

Looks like it goes with the playdoh sets.

Yup, playdoh.

To be clear though it was a forgein version that had the snowspeeder from what I read. The US one had the X-wing.

I had the old ROJ play-doh set when I was a kid - I should have thought of that. I had no idea that the foreign set came with the snow-speeder - weird.

Anyone have any idea of a value on it? I couldn't find one on e-bay.

Thx

I had the Play-do Snow-Speeder as a kid. (still do; as that's how I recongized it.) My parent definately bought it stateside. It is currently sitting as a display piece in Mindbender's lab.

I have the same Snowspeeder, and couldn't figure it out, either! Thanks!

Now, if anyone can help me with the pile of parts that I just posted, I would greatly appreciate it!
