It's a colourful battery-powered toy for the younger child which consists of a rotating aeroplane, controls to pilot it, and some cardboard obstacles (a mountain and an office building) to avoid. Originally made in Japan, this is a very fun toy to play with, notably due to these obstacles and also the ability to perform loop-the-loop aerobatics with the plane!  This one is in very good condition - a couple of minor issues only. One, is the lack of instructions but that's not a problem, given that it's so simple to use. Second, the missing stickers on the aircraft wings. Again, in our opinion, a very minor flaw. The stickers elsewhere are in excellent condition.

There are no chips or cracks to the casing and mechanically everything works as it should. It does benefit hugely from using the best possible batteries (size "C") you can lay your hands on.  The battery compartment itself is nice and clean - no corrosion. The box is a little bit worn and the original owner, Nicola - hello Nicola! - has written her name on the front of it. We hope she doesn't mind that we're selling it on after having had a good old play with it.

You may have coveted the one someone else had. You may even have been lucky enough to have owned it yourself (yours truly wasn't one of those people!). It's a Tomy/Palitoy Air Blaster (also known as the Air Jammer in some regions) from the 1980s - an air-powered toy car which, when pumped up, launches away at speed and with a "roaring" sound and disappears into the distance. They were a lot of fun and still are if you have the space to let it run. This one is in excellent condition, with original box, pump and the "starting line" card.  Re-live your youth or simply have a blast with it for the first time...

Batteries not included. Batteries not required!
