Ideal Supercity Skyscraper

Ideal Toy Company created a series of building kits scaled to compliment its Motorific toys. The Motorific cars are around 1/43 scale, although its not exact as all of the cars share a common chassis. I found this toy on eBay and was lucky to get it. The seller was local and I was able to pick it up and avoid the shipping. 
Love those '60s graphics
The box was in good condition, with some minor wear.

The toy was mostly mint in its original packaging. Some of the inner packages were opened but most of them were factory sealed. 


The set comes with a "whirling rotor helicopter", which appears to be a BV-107.
Toy version of what appears to be a BV 107

New York Airways BV 107-II N6676D is hooked to a Ford Mustang at Downtown Manhattan/Wall St. Heliport for a publicity stunt.

The set appears to be complete, but its hard to know for sure. Claims to have over 350 pieces, but I'm not going to bother to count them. No breakdown of which parts should be included. Instructions are difficult to follow - small pictures of the finished building, and very basic schematics. There are cardboard buildings referred to as "building extenders" that I can't tell how to use. I've seen Motorific vehicle sets referred to as "Rube Goldberg machines", and Ideal did include an opening garage door to add a little action to this set. The door has a rubber band that opens it when you press a wall that serves as the button.
