My local comic shop recently purchased a great private collection. Seriously great. Each vehicle looks like it was just taken out of the box, brand new as if it was made yesterday.
I’ve never seen plastic looking as good as this stuff does. I purchased a Surveillance Port and a Bridge tosser. They also had a mint WHALE with box. It seems to be missing a few stickers, but other than that, it’s perfect. The stickers that are there look clean and original. The props and vanes are unbroken and work. They are asking $400. Too much? |

Ended ebay auctions show it ending anywhere from $250-$300, with one BIN for $400 that included the box.
So a little high, but if its that nice not completely out of the question. However, you could likely get one much cheaper if you wait/hunt a bit |

Keep in mind the Whale is a total pain in the ass to ship. I'd definitely pay a bit more for one that did not have to be shipped. I've had a Whale and a Night Striker shipped to me, and both times a couple of pieces were damaged, despite being packed very well.

Do you want the Whale to play with a bit or put on a shelf?
My kids and I still get out my Joe vehicles and have battles so I wouldn’t want a vehicle I spent $400 on in the mix. Even a shelf display Whale at $400 is a bit steep. I have seen complete versions for around $200. At the end of the day if the Whale is in as good of condition as you say and you are okay with the $400 then go for it. It is a iconic vehicle that looks great and has a ton of play value. |
