Does anyone here collect Britains Space stuff? Think ive seen a few bits in Andy1672s pics...

Liked it when I was a kid but slightly puzzled by some of the vehicles when boxed as they looked like tractor implements...

Bought a few lots off ebay recently and cant wait for them to arrive...

My mate has the whole collection loose and boxed I think?

He loves them.

I love Starcom, it's one of my 'side' collections that every few years I pick up and get a few more. Really ahead of it's time and superbly detailed.

Any one else remember that sort of Knock-off Lego space series from the early-mid 80's?
Sort of fitted together like Lego, the astro' guys where smaller but looked more realistic..the maker had a strange German sounding name I think?
