UPDATE: Sold for US $137.50 (20 Bids)

Listed on eBay today is this 40 year old piece of curved translucent plastic.  It’s absolutely useless to anyone – unless you own a Kenner ALIEN toy that lacks this particular body part.  Bidding started at US$0.99 today and it’s rapidly climbed to US$40 dollars already. There’s still more than 9 days left on the auction.  This is going to be good.These pieces are frequently missing from the vintage toy – around 80-90% of Kenner ALIEN toys lack this feature.  This one is in very good condition, notwithstanding some minor wear here and there. It’s not cracked, warped or damaged in any significant way.  All 5 small nubs are present on the underside edges.  It’s a generally nice piece.

How much is this relatively uncommon plastic relic worth?  It’s a prominent feature on the toy and there are many figures in the possession of owners who will find this piece highly desirable. Samples of the ‘dome’ for auction on eBay will exceed the US$100 mark with ease.  This one is already well on the way to achieving that goal.  The chances of this item selling for less than US$100 are remote at best.  This is going to be fun to follow over the next 9 days.
