Really liked your clip although we never saw Zero X as a toy in Australia, well I didn't anyway! Its an excellent looking toy and you should be well proud to own it.
I still own my Dinky Thunderbird 2 that I bought back in the late 60's.
Its been to New Zealand and back after I gave it to my nephew which he has since returned back to me, its a little scratched and most of the legs are snapped but the pod still stays in position and Thunderbird4 still resides inside.
I Bought one of these at a carboot in Farnham Surrey mint & boxed, I knew what it was as soon as i saw it, the Guy who was selling it said it was worth £80 as its a 60's toy & thats all he knew.. I sold it on eBay for £520.. I'm a Toy buyer & Collector of toys from 1900 to 1985. Nice film well made too 5 ✩✩✩✩✩

Glad you enjoyed the little piece mate. The Aoshima die-cast it pretty nice no question about that! Do you have the THUNDERBIRDS version or the 'SCARLET' issue? I wouldn't mind either. Thanks for posting your comments!
Really interesting, thanks for showing us! There were some lovely Anderson toys in the late sixties, but I was just a few years too late to have them, aside from a few cherished Dinky's. I've hot the Aoshima die-cast (lovely), but this toy you've shown us knocks spots off it for fun!
No need to feel sad mate! I am sure there are thousands of other 'old geezers' like us who wrecked or swapped these type of toys 40 odd years ago. I guess the reason so many of the old Century 21 toys are hard to come by now is because they were very fragile and this particular toy had so many parts to lose or break as well. Glad that it brought back memories albeit sad one!
This actually makes me feel quite sad. I had this as child and obviously it got swapped or wrecked along the way. Seeing this brings home to me what it must have cost and how hard my mum must have scrimpted and saved to get these toys for me. I feel ashamed I didn't look after them :(
Stunning. I can see the need for the EXTRA POWER in your batteries.

Jason!
I think they just referred to them that way back in the 1960s. Standard batteries work fine.

@Modmart does it actually need high powered batterys or does regular ones work?
