This section is forever dedicated to the men and women who perished aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger on January 28, 1986. May your souls continue to soar to the Heavens.

A new line called "Speed Demons" was introduced in 1986. They numbered 6 in total, and were assorted plastic creatures mounted on metal chassis, and powered by Ultra Hots. They can be difficult to find, but are not overly expensive to acquire. Blackwalls, Gold Hot Ones and Real Riders were also a mainstay in the 1986 line. Quoted values are for LOOSE, NM examples. Cars less than NM will obviously command a lesser value than listed, depending on overall condition. Unless otherwise stated, the country of origin for all listed models is Hong Kong. Different countries will be listed second, and bolded. Note that the NCHWA utilizes a pricing method called "Star Value©." Instead of specific dollar values, each car will be assigned a Star Value© to indicate rarity and potential price range. There are simply too many variables to place a "set" value on any model, so a range will be used instead to indicate where that particular model may fall on the secondary price scale. A +/- indicates where on that scale the value is approximated, while a number by itself would indicate the value falls in the middle of the Star Value. This is also an easy quick-glance method to determine rarity; the higher the number, the rarer the car. The value chart will be placed at the bottom of each page.

Option: Click the button to the left to download a printable copy of the Star Chart for easy reference (Microsoft Word or equivalent program required for viewing or download). It beats scrolling up and down when you're pricing your cars!
