Holy Smoke! It's got the lot!
Look at that playmat!
There's LP and Apollo Moon Exploring!
And familiar space trucks!
Aliens!
All neatly boxed up.
That's one lucky new owner who won this!
Is is a set you know?
I recall seeing this set in the mid eighties in a department store in Liverpool. I wrote to Dekkertoys and said I had the set and had lost some of the parts! They sent me replacement parts, free of charge! I got the gantry, mercury capsule, bubble car and apollo capsule. They are similar to the Moon Exploring toys, but cheaper quality copies. A nice set. Ive got the vac-form Lunar Landscape set from the same company. Bill
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Have you still got your set Bill?
DeleteThey where asking £400 plus for this if im remembering
ReplyDeleteCorrectly.
Blimey!
DeleteActually still on ebay at £486.09....
DeleteHoly Explorers!
DeleteThat is a great looking set - but how do the two Soviet MiG-21 jet fighters fit in, and why does the grey one have WW1 German national insignia on the wings ? The green one might be British ?
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeletePlay sized space helmets not included...
