Excellent article, Myles! I'm totally digging that Spider Warrior. I've never seen that one before.
Nice pics by both you and Stephan.

Glad I got to see some of the oddities at the Summit in FL.
Such cool toys. I've only got less than a handful, but happily have a Claw Warrior recently, and had the Egg Brain, and a couple of the awesome digger vehicles.
And nearly all the vehicles, have to come equipped with missle launchers. ...Makes sense, right? LoL.
Love that you guys took some great shots and made a Gallery entry.

Thanks, guys. They really don't get the love they deserve. Considering the price of vintage toys, these are such good deals and are of good quality. My personal fave is probably the Tunneln, with that huge rock coring drill at one end (like they use to carve out massive transportation tunnels).
(BTW, I think I'm going to have a few spares up for sale soon if anyone is interested.)

Your first series photos / compositions are superb, as always! I added a few additions of alternate boxes I've saved through the years (Japanese, Star Mites), but if you have better photos of these, please update them. |

My wife rescues dogs, and I remember hearing about how one of the fosters had the dog eat several hundred dollars of cash right off the table! Needless to say, that dog came right back to us. Very nice Myles! Where did you bought them (country)? Your neck of the woods - Germany! |

First I have looked at this thread, and of course I spot the Ovni saucer which I either once owned or played with as a kid. Hard to say as it that deep of a lost memory, and that is what makes all this great. No way I would have thought of that ever again, and the cool arm like weapon mounts triggered the memory....
Something to hunt on Ebay in the future eh, lol. I like items that fly "UNDER THE RADAR",lol....
