Blood for the Baron!

I don't know myself, but one of my friends collects them, I can ask him what the going rate for them are.

I have them in a couple of catalogue pages though, will have to try and dig those out.

Dave.

before my time too i'm afraid, i'm another 77 child, but nice looking toys though.

i was born in 78, so I've never heard of them. the Avenger looks more like a Y-Wing than an A-Wing. I agree that the fighter looked like the bastard off-spring of a BSG Viper and an X-Wing.

I was thinking about this - if those were released in late 70's they'd actually pre-date A wings wouldn't they. Didn't they first appear in ROTJ in 83?

Or, if you dont believe it was just a film, they existed a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

I really wanted one of those as a kid. I'd forgotten all about it.

Sad now.

yes, the A-Wing, like the B-Wing, debuted in ROTJ

Starbird was one of them cool but very expensive toys I never got as a kid..just like Big Track,also made by Milton Bradley..witch also bares a passing resemblance to the Galactica from certain angles.

God - yeah! I'd never noticed that with BigTrak! Still got mine at Dad's house, and it's trailer. Dad played with it more than me as a kid - trying to program it to go round the coffee table, and scare the dogs!

Found this on youtube..Starbird in action, even the badge looks like the one on Skywalkers pilot helmet.. also check out the Matchbox toys @ the start

Also just found out Bigtrack was grey in the U.S of A..(the U.K. one was white b.t.w.)..

Uhm yes. The weekend has passed and now I've got two two Starbirds...

Anyone?
