Curve ball? Yeah, that's it! Curve ball! I remember the original series with Lorne Greene (best known for Bonanza) and Richard Hatch (?), a heartthrob actor who played various parts over the years who I don't think did much after this series went off the air, and the fellow who played his wingman, who went on to be in the original A-Team (I want to say as Face). I haven't paid any attention since. I can see how a collector of tv and movie diecast would enjoy this: the detail is adequate, and the subject matter is fairly unique. It's not my cuppa tea for the same reason I don't collect HW blimps or airplanes or the JL Lost in Space vehicles...I like my diecast to be able to roll. But if static models are your thing, go for it! |

Wes, there's nothing stopping you from simply tossing your flying replicas back and forth across the room I've never been into this show- it looks to me like this vehicle was modeled largely on the Star Wars X-Wing, which debuted the year before. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I've made flying stuff my whole lifetime career, and they are just as much fun as cars and trains! And I still love my cars, as everyone here knows it. Wes, a HW blimp is a good start for a diversion...

Guys, you are a bad influence, you know? I was living happily in my ignorance that there existed any BSG Viper in 3 inches... and then you had to show this one... Well, I could not stop 'till I found one reasonably priced in eBay... and now it should be flying its way to Spain. |
