wow! im well jell kev ! ive got the craterscape from one of them, but not been able to find any of the big boxes. Closest ive been was back in a Liverpool dept store in 1969, where there was one on display next to a Scramble Bug and a Zero X. Santa let me down that xmas though..,, Bill
I'm chuffed with these. When I was a kid, there was a general store near us that had the 3 sets in the window (not the superset). I did eventually buy the Nuclear Pulse one.
No, I bought one set as a kid but didn't keep it. These I've collected much later. My folks were good at preserving some of my toys though, I still have some of my originals. My UFO annual is the one I bought at the time too!
Very nice line-up Kevin. :) You have a box lid or two that are better preserved than mine as shown on my website, warts and all. Though come to think of it, I could upgrade one picture. Best -- Paul V

ReplyDeleteI got the 3 major sets for Easter, xmas and birthday, but the big ones were clearly too expensive!
DeleteAll I can say is....WOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome collection Kev!
ReplyDeleteThanks folks.
ReplyDeleteYeah, fantastic Kev. So youve had three sets from childhood? Your folks were brilliant at keeping stuff safe!
