Will's SpaceX Cabinet

Hi Woodsy,

I recently acquired a new display cabinet, which I've filled with my beloved SpaceX and a few other bits and bobs , so now they are off the shelf and behind glass! 

Had great fun filling it up!

Cheers.

Kev's Kool Moon Buggy and Novas

 Kevin has kindly sent pics of his original SpaceX Moon Buggy ...

.... And scratchbuilt Nova (foreground) and two original SpaceX Nova rockets.

Cor! Or what! 

Lance's SpaceX and Roxy Haul

Hi Woodsy!

So recently I won an auction that included 5 Spacex cardbacks ........

and a lot of various space vehicles.

I was intrigued as it had an alternate color of the Nova Rocket in green (pics to come later in the week) and an alternate color of the Reconnaissance 2.

Turns out the R2 is not an alternate color but an actual different take on the Reconnaissance 2. This one is actually made by Roxy Toys. It is marked underneath with MADE IN HONG KONG, Roxy Toys, and a NO.2006. It stands a little bit taller than the original most due to the slightly more robust gear.

Big differences are the back of the missile launcher is molded into the lower body instead of the glued on piece of the original.

The lower half of the body is also a thinner shape and the very back of it is angled. It has two engines in each wing instead of one and a fifth in the center of the body.

While this brings each ship to 5 engines, they are not in the same locations and actually mesh together when parked back to back.

Kev's Missing Nuclear Freighter

This is the specific SpaceX NFII variation that's missing from Kevin's collection.

Anyone got a spare one?

Custom SpaceX Moonbase Box and Board

Another old gem from Worthpoint, a custom made box and board for SpaceX no less!

What do you think?

The description read

 "Includes a professional custom mars landscape and custom box. What you see is what you get. Very unique. Very large set...will be shipped in 2 boxes. The Mars Battle board landscape is large enough for 54mm too. BattleBoard made by Jim Clouse, terrain artist."

Lance's SpaceX and Golden Astronaut Box Sets

 A bit of history on each set.

The Spacex Mobile Launching Pad: It is in gorgeous shape, has the instruction sheet and both gangways. I received it all wrapped up like in the pictures but it is complete. The other 3 examples I have of this are the Triang Spacex white rocket versions in various states of incompleteness. One just needs another gangway to be complete.

The Golden Astronaut Moon Exploration Set: It was complete but badly damaged bits. The box is the worse of the three sets. As I've encountered better pieces I've replaced the broken ones but all the extras are in the box so it is packed.

The Golden Astronaut Interplanetary Patrol Set: Box has seen some wear but is in better shape than the Moon Exploration set. It is complete with the missiles and the scout ship in a baggy. The Cruiser 1 is a replacement from my box of spares. The one that was included in it was missing the front wheel. I've a lot of the Cruiser 1s so I put a far better example in the box.

Enjoy,

Ed's Golden Astronaut SpaceX Boxed Sets

Woodsy,

Your recent post had me curious as just how many boxed Spacex/Golden Astronaut sets I had so I herded them all together into a folder for future reference and here they are.

 More old online auction lots but not sure there's extras here.

I love those big box sets! Anyone got them?

And this caught my eye, a neat article about our favourite miniature space toys in America's Playset magazine. Have you got this readers?
