That Progress Stingray puzzle is really unique as a concept and a great document of the early days of Supermarionation. Cannot think of any other film/tv production that had this kind of making-of/behind-the-scenes puzzle released as merchandise.
Ha Ha! I had that Stingray Repeater pistol. I was always a bit mystified as a kid as to what the design actually was. I assumed it was an Aquaphibian gun. Little did I know, I was a second-generation Lone Star customer and the gun had been labelled Dan Dare ten years before!
