Gosh, I wasn't even born yet but I would have loved to have that Space 1999 Ship & figures, Mattel did good back then. I saw about that briefly sometime ago, amazing as I love to see how kids reacted to this back stuff then, that was cool PB :)

It did look like a fun toy. I miss toys that large that don't cost $500, lol.

Indeed. yeah, today's market is insane :roll: Another not to before My before time but those Mattel Flash Gordan figures were great looking PB :) The guy over speaking the commercial on the other hand was really annoying IMO :?

Oh geez, that's my bad. I actually posted those yesterday while I was waiting at the dentist so I admittedly never listened to them with the sound on, lol.

I see. Man, I'm not familiar with that one, another before My time that looked really cool but this time it's not Mattel, it's Hasbro's Milton Bradly :)

I always associated Milton Bradley with board games so it's interesting they had other toys.

If they ever made super articulated (none of these retro 5 POA figs) in any scale of at least Buck, Wilma, Twiki (I always called him Twinkie as a kid, lol), and Hawk I'd be all over them. Man, those would be cool.

I'd be down for 5 points figures if only they weren't so expensive. I started caring less about articulation as I've gotten older which is weird but it's not a huge deal to me unless it's wrestlers or comic book characters.
