Having recently got out all my SWORD toys for a good play I had chance to inspect them. As you know I don't mind battle-damage on my toys - its part of the story - but where possible I'd like complete toys.
During my SWORD MOT I found the following defects and wondered if any readers could send me pictures of what the correct part looks like in the photograph?
1. SPACEX MLP Rocket - my silver rocket at the top is a repro from the 1990's. Bill and Scoop kindly pointed this out. What's does the real silver jet look like?
2. Scramble Bug radar stalk - mine is just a red straw. The real one?
3. Moon Bus radar stalk - that red straw again with a white one inside! What's a genuine one look like?
4. Cape Kennedy Set - rocket base - its missing its silver ends. What should they be?
5. Scout 2 wheel - the black wheel should be like the white one pictured on the Scout 1. I need a spare!
POSTSCRIPT:
Eagle-eyed fellow collector Ferryman has kindly informed me that the toy plane below appears to have the same front wheel as the SWORD Scouts! Its the Swing Wing Royal Navy Strike Fighter by SL if anyone has one spare for a swap!
