Phantom Gem 66: The Original EC-08 Box Of Skyliner (Old Colour)

It is a very long story how this box was rare since the beginning of time until now. The Skyliner was released in 1978, but during this time the 4th generation box was manufactured and the 5th generation EC box was never released until 1980. So this EC box remained an unconfirmed product for nearly 2 years. The Skyliner with painted window sills was first released in the New International Airport Set, without it's intermediate car. This is why the intermediate car is highly sought after, and getting one today as a standalone item is the most difficult challenge for Skyliner collectors. However the intermediate car was only included in this box, the whole 3 car formation have unpainted window sills. The number of box survivors are extremely small today. The EC-08 number was reused for the Skyliner (new colour), and the box is green with blue ribbon instead of yellow with brown ribbon. This auction below ended at around 31000 yen. Look at my icon for a standard product Skyliner.
