Hi Paul, Congrats on the new breakthrough with the mystery of "T in a circle"! Let me just elaborate a bit on the "Toys Are Fun" case that you mentioned. A couple of years ago an Apollo Saturn -type rocket with "T" logo was on offer on eBay. I contacted the seller about a phrase on the box which I could not decipher from the photograph. The seller responded that the text was "Toys Are Fun", which I considered then more as a tagline than the name of the manufacturer. So Tai Hing may very well be that name if further evidence is given.

To me this "T" case is the most interesting unsolved issue around SWORD toy lines (even though there are plenty). It was exciting how you draw parallels between Tai Hing and Tar Heel (It was WOTAN that actually made this observation - Woodsy), the latter of which has a great motivation for its name, being based in Tarboro, NC. I regret that I have lost the original communications about the Apollo rocket, I'd love to check it once again. I have never since seen this same item on offer, and I remember passing on it because of the condition of the box (though given a second chance, I would strongly reconsider...).

Cheers,Arto
I agree Arto, T Toys are really excellent. Anyone else seen Arto's T Rocket? Woodsy
