Someone might give you a 6 pack for it, and maybe hang it on the wall of their man cave as a bit of windsurfing nostalgia.
I thought the New Toy won an Australian Design Award! I have a 12kg Antartica for when I get a man cave
I had an epoxy new toy... at the time it was a really nice board and was a pleasure to ride. Don't think they made many in epoxy.
Are you seriously considering buying one to ride, or looking to collect it? Either way, I think the price really depends on how much you personally like it and want it. I imagine one could be worth $200-500?? Again, depends.
Ive got it in my shed and from memory in it,s day was quite a good board , but your right it weighs a tonne !!!
Hmmph, philistines, You go for it rik, don't think of tonnes, think of displacement 
I had a 135L , 292 cm slalom Bombora (PVC)
It was around 15 kg.
How much?
I advertised it for free here, and nobody wanted it. As I put it on the verge, it disappeared overnight 
Having said that, I learnt how to water start on it, and was the first board I ever gybed so some fond memories.
I ride 292 all the time it goes great . Fair dinkum its only a fraction off the speed of new boards but that could be my sails & my level of skill.

It was so long ago... since getting back into windsurfing I've been curious as to how many litres they were.
You could sell it (or donate) to a museum:
collection.maas.museum/object/212748
Or, heat it up and shape into a spa. Every time I see some polyethylene spa's I think of a new toy, tri fin, antartica or big toy!
There must have been some good lobbying going on for the Bombora New Toy to win the Australian Design award!
Remember getting one in !983 from Tradewinds? at Brookvale and selling it soon afterwards.... couldn't ride it very well - all I remember was the double mast track, the rope uni and the wide point being right back with a flyer or two and a swallow tail and weighing half a tonne!
Can't remember what was the biggest dog - the Drommadary, the Trifin or the NewToy?
There's an Antarctica in near perfect condition at the Terrey Hills Kimbriki tip. probably $20 if you ask politely.
place a modern rig at the back end of the track, and a 21st century set of fins - and I bet it performs quite nicely!
I Reckon the new toys around the 90 ltd mark & every bit of 15KG dry !1
I remember the additional weight in the front really helped with planing out of big jumps

Dont forget the new toy was released in the late 70's or early 80's.
I had a new toy for its time it was pretty good, I loved it.
short at 8' and I'm sure it was less than 90Ltrs, it was heavy but tough.
I worked building the hamilton island resort in the 80's we'd leave new toys rigged under trees for afternoon blasts to dent island.
that board took a flogging dirt roads unprotected in work utes.
tried all different ropes in the universal ended up with 6mm single insulated earth wire.
haha those were the days, remember some long swims.
There was a guy that sailed at Margate Reddy on New Toy when they came out and i have to say he really ripped on it. Pretty amazing for the weight really.
The toy was cutting edge for its time - Mark Paul was too - I had a couple - they were cool but as i recall, if you really pushed them, the boxes rolled unless you glued them in. State of the art when they first came out though!
Bombora New Toy a great board and ahead of its time the fin boxes were its weakness. Also the fins were no good. I remember stuffing one up after a few weeks hitting some rocks at Pelican Point in Nov. 1983 and being given a new one by Murray Smith
Specs of the plastic ones are greatly exaggerated above. This is nothing like the later Bombora Slaloms...
New Toy: 85 L, 10.3 kg (hard rails, winger/swallowtail with spiral V)
Advert blurb- believe me in 1982 this was pretty accurate ! : "New Toy: Without a doubt the world's most radical production sinker!! Hard to beat for a wild wind/big wave performance the winger/swallow tail delivers clean water release and hard bite in turns. "
[however the last bit about "hard bite in turns" probably was more accurate for the glass versions,..]
At some point they added..."Backed by a two year warranty, an Australian design award winner."

Also here is pick of a glass proto from ebay very similar to New Toy but likely much lighter and better !I would love this board !
Interestingly I saw Mark's Paul's proto (this had the sharks teeth on the nose- a great graphic..) for the New Toy see photo below for sale on ebay in 2008 it went for $25. It would have been a great buy ! I am sure others with Freesail mags or early Australian Sailing ( i have chucked out mine) will have the photo of the New Toy proto doing an upside down jump from around 1982. It was a glass proto..
Specs on other plastic boards of Bombora between 1983-1986 are:
Tri Fin: 116L, 12.6 kg (soft/hard in tail, wide pin, double concave)
Antartica Wave: 96L, 11.9 kg (fine rails, pin tail, spiral V)
The glass protos were much better !
I intend to get one soon again....
My glass New Toy bought from Mark Paul in '83.
Great board, took it on a 3 month trip to the Canary Islands and France that year, then sold it to a German guy for more than I paid for it.
Euros loved them!

Awesome to get those stats. I could've sworn it was a semi-sinker... not 130ltrs. I weighed maybe 70kg in those days. While it floated me, I'd still call it a semi-sinker, though I never had to paddle home (I had a Mike Davis glass wave board, about 60ltrs... that would sink up to my waist and I could still uphaul it and slog my way home in most conditions).
Does any of the product info you have mention an epoxy version. I had one in epoxy and never saw another one. It had a silver and blue Bombora kangaroo tail on the nose. I also had a plastic newtoy. The epoxy version was literally half the weight, heaps quicker to plane and had better top speed, but it only lasted about 12 months before delam'ing around the footstraps from jumping. I tried to get another one under warranty, but they couldn't supply one so offered me something else in the range.
I know Mark thinks I'm nuts, but if I had the space and plenty of cash to blow, I wouldn't hesitate paying a few hundred for one. It's like asking what idiot would pay $1M for an old Ford XY GT. BTW, the walls in my house are covered in collectable skateboards (new and old), so I'm a bit of a collector of things I like and don't really care what they cost me or what the market price is, because the value is personal to me.
Happy daze.

I need to withdraw my comments. The original email says "new toy". Haven't realised it was actually "New Toy" as in a model type.
The 135L board above is a slalom board, not a wave weapon. My apologies, can't edit the posts any more.
I was the proud owner of the plastic version (pale blue hull) in the first half of the 1980's. Also had the T shirt with the same artwork (stick-figures) as on the "Toys for the Boys" advert. I also had the matching sail, but in dark blue and purple.
I'd pay plenty for one these days - just for the nostalgia factor. Same goes for the T-shirt.
What are Mark Paul and Scotty O'Conner up too ?
As for nostalgia, Bombora, Supa Max BMX's and Ozi skateboards, what a way to grow up !
Ah, the good ol' days 
Oh yeah, Rayban Wayfarer's, they're back in I beleive (Go Jake and Elwood)

about 1988 Bombora had some slalom boards made from vinylester.
i think they were made by Mctavish.
