I never had any Adventure 2000 die-casts as a kid but have grown to appreciate their fine design and build.
A staple at decent car boot sale toy stalls I often see the green vehicles.
However, I don't think I've ever seen the blue vehicle shown here in a shot by Azureedge online.
Is it a model you know?
The blue version was the last release and is a version of the Crusader, with a saucer launcher on the back (saucer missing). Most of the smaller vehicles were released in blue as a set, along with the Cosmobile and Planet Scout from the standard line. It wasn't available for long, as the line was pulled shortly after release. Bill

ReplyDeleteNever seen any of those blue ones Bill. Can you believe you wrote that old post 12 years ago!
ReplyDeletewhere does the time go ?
DeleteThese are terrific! Never seen them before. Definitely a descendent if SWORD...
ReplyDeleteWere they linked to 2000AD the comic?
ReplyDeleteThe Raider Command did indeed feature in the 2000AD Judge Dredd series The Cursed Earth as the Landraider.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. Great info.
