BILLY BLASTOFF LUNAR SCOUT AND HIS TV THUNDERBIRD RAY GUIDED X-2



I love this Billy Blastoff knockoff called LUNAR SCOUT, which I've blogged before. It includes a Thunderbirds EXCAVATOR and it's currently on Ebay. What I hadn't noticed last time is the picture on the little Billy TV screen - its Thunderbird 2! Not only that but the picture is lifted from the box art of the Ray-O-Matic ray Guided X2 Space Ship (below), which we've blogged before courtesy of our man in Finland, Arto.

I can't believe that this LUNAR SCOUT set manufacturer made the plastic Excavator themselves from scratch. Where did they get it from? All the other items are straight lifts/copies of ELDON/SCALECRAFT Billy Blastoff toys. Anyone know?

  1. Hallo World :)
    I've found one of this in a second hand street market in Milan.
    It's boxed and it works fine using new batteries :)

    Any suggestion to contract a good price, tomorrow?

    Cheers, G :)
