Time Cruisers Store display case value

[gopaddle]

Hi, I am starting to say good-bye to my Lego collection.  My prize possession is a Time Cruisers store display case with the Hypno Cruiser and Flying Time Vessel enclosed in it.  Very cool.  I was wondering if anyone could estimate it's value?  The case is roughly 20" deep, 22" long and 12" high, give or take a couple inches.

Thanks, V

I don't know, store displays are always nice, but Time Cruisers is not exactly the most popular theme ever.

200$ maybe? What does the button on the front do?

Nice display.  Unfortunately, they are hard to put a price on.  Some very nice displays sell for $50...others for $2000.00.  Most sell for $100-$200 or so.  This looks to be in that range.

Ok, thanks for your help!

The knob makes the wings on the Flying Time Vessel slowly flap up & down when turned if I remember right. I recall seeing this in store way back in the day.

Yes, it's a knob that turns and if the little connector inside wasn't broken i think the wings on the ship would flap.

I almost want to collect the time cruisers line just because it was just so off the wall.  Equal parts different, unique looking sets and "what the heck where they thinking"

As for the display I would put it around 200 or so but its off the wall with display units.  One other factor to consider is timeline.  A quicker sell will mean a lower price as opposed to putting it up for sale and letting it sit for a year or two until that one special buyer comes along and pays premium dollar for it.

Yeah i really like the Time Cruiser line just for that reason, it has a little bit of everything i like.

Thanks for the estimate.  I'm not in a hurry so i will probably wait for the buyer that would really like it.  I do appreciate all the help!
