ITS BOUND TO ESCALATE!

 This caught my eye on an old auction, Space Flash with Escalator and Cars.

The box art is fabulous although I don't know the brand, a single stylized S.

The contents look good. I've seen sets like this before by different makers. The three cars look like little staplers!

Have you an elevating or track space toy readers?

HAMLEY MATTERS

Woodsy,

Two more extra-cool toys from Wotan's Hamleys catalogue post. Does anyone know about Spacenik 2 and Industrial site?

CARRERA JET SETS: I WANT ONE!

 Wholly new to me, here's the Carrera Aerial Jet set, a sort of monorail race toy, which is so cool its untrue.

The box art of this set is fabulous with its glowing shot of the racing jets.

Looking a lot like a Scalextric set inside, with that thick polystyrene tray, I suppose Carrera can be seen as a slot car type toy. I'm sure I've seen Carrera racing car layouts.

Here's a short clip I found on YT of this jet set!

For spaceniks like us there was also a Carrera Jet Apollo set!

The box art is a bit minimalist I feel.

I love the Apollo capsule and the grey moon globe! Reminds me of other space toys with moons!

Here's another YT clip, this one of this Apollo set. I've shortened this but its much longer online.

What do you think?

Anyone have Carrera Jet sets?

During recent Yuletide ambling across the cyberscape I chanced upon some gorgeous images of Spaceniks, Capsenauts and other small figures on this lovely 'blog' on Imgrum [apologies for the pesky pop-up adverts]:

One LP spaceman sneaked in too:

Alas I don't seem to be able to use the search on Imgrum.

Have you any small toy astronauts?
