Ive posted Capsela Spacelink before, most notably with reference to the tiny 'Capsenauts' that came with a lot of the vehicles. The majority of the capsela sets that I have found over time have been loose lots, usually from ebay and invariably missing bits and pieces. I was delighted recently to receive a mint pack of the figures themselves, which I hadn't realised were sold separately. Four of the tiny figures sealed onto a card and on the rear of which is a great illustration of the breadth of the Spacelink model series.
Capsela is one of the most enduring toys and has been produced by many different companies over the years. Spacelink as a theme within the series wasn't so lucky and so far hasn't been reissued in any modern variant of the capsela series. The Capsenauts occaisionally turn up in the odd model, but the main series of space themed parts remains absent. Shame.

Excellent find! I love Capsela/SpaceLink, and I've recently launched a Capsela/SpaceLink parts section in my eBay store. The Capsela parts list is mostly complete, but I've just begun to work on listing SpaceLink parts. OK to post the link here?
That would be great! I'm still missing a few parts myself! I've got a bag of those ridiculous yellow and blue floats, free to a good home too!
Hah! I think I've only sold one float out of a whole boxful in my inventory. But I'd be happy to take them off your hands in exchange for free shipping on your first order in my store. Maybe I'll build a pond skimmer or something :)

Thanks!
