CALLING INTERNATIONAL RESCUE: HELP NEEDED WITH IMAI TV CLIPS


I've been browsing through the pages of the great German site, THUNDERBIRDS AND FRIENDS and come across the Videoclips section. If you click on the THUNDERBIRDS tag you'll see loads of old clips of Imai toys including the 1960's Zero X! Now it might be my computer but I just can't get any to work! Can anyone more technically adept please have a go and send me links to the Imai toys that work. Calling International Rescue! Thank you.

PS. I also can't find any way of contacting the site administrator. Anyone else see how it's done?

  1. Things like "[sandabazu] [a] go!" don't sound too German to me, Paul?
    Not much in the way of Imai clips either for that matter.

  2. But seriously, I think our host was asking about this
    http://web127.server-drome.de/
    instead of the Kyushu Thunderbirds Museum at
    http://www.thunderbirds.jp/index.html

    And to answer the part of the question: click on the History button, and in the middle of the second block you'll see a little E-Mail button to click.

    As to the clips, they're .mov which is Quicktime. They play fine on my MacBook here. If you do have Quicktime try downloading one and playing it straight from Quicktime instead of through your browser? Brilliant clips btw, and I do think they sing "[sandabazu] [a] go!" somewhere as well! :)

    Hope this helps

  3. I've changed the link so it should work now, ta Paul. If all else fails, it should be:

    http://www.thunderbirds-and-friends.de/

    I'll have to get Quicktime. Would love to see the Zero X TV ad. Is that the only SWORD-esque TV toy ad out there?

  4. Work fine on my Mac.

    Do people still use PCs? ;-)
