Aviones Cosmicos: Spain's Spacex Knockoffs

From my own collection, this AVIONES COSMICOS carded set by Bullycan pictured above, was the first I'd seen when I acquired it last year. Clearly knockoffs of Tri-ang's SpaceX range and made of simple coloured plastic, they were presumabley cheap rack toys for the corner shops of Spain and the Spanish-speaking world. Occasionally I browse for Bullycan and other spanish space toys online and was pleased to see these two further colour variations on my own set. I wonder if Bullycan made any other Aviones Cosmicos?

Heyup Paul - as I believe I mentioned re your previous post on the subject, I once had Bullycan's managing director on the phone who (even after all this time) was pretty certain this was the only set. :)

Also, those two sets look very much like the two I managed to get via that site, in the most protracted internet buy I've ever had (took well over two months between hitting the "comprar" button and having the things in my hands...)

Best -- Paul
