Do I have any Sword Toys? The simple answer is no, but I had some stuff when I as a kid and the reason I found your most excellent blog -to try and recapture that snotty nosed ten-year old world view!
I had a few of the SpaceX vehicles, most notably the Helicopter which I disassembled and repainted silver with a spray can!
I lusted after the Moon Base and Nuclear pulse which were beyond my price range. I had the mobile launch pad and I repainted the green rocket white. What WAS it, with white vehicles being painted green in the 60's?
I wanted the moon rover with its orange flanged wheels, but it had sold out by the time I'd saved up enough money!
I remember seeing the Prospector in a Newsagent window, but the only GENUINE Sword craft I had (although looking through online lists, I can't find it) was "the plane that is seen trundling along the seabed in "Superthunderstingcar" " - apart from the card models. I well remember making the Sand Flea, Snow Train and Scramble bug!
