MB's Star Bird - the best electronics in 1978 !
If there is one "non Star-Wars"- spacetoy boys wanted in 1978 it was this baby.
Laser guns, modulable, and a reactor sound that amazed kids and sent parents to the assylum 😁 - it had it all !

Britains' Space soldiers...
These were also part of my childhood... Bright yellow - at least they did not get lost in the carpet like so many other unfortunates !
 |
| Stargard Space Craft, Britains, England, 1981 |
The ship was all genius toy-design : a weighted base in the transparent cockpit always kept the astronauts level. This type of design was reminiscent of spaceship design in the Yoko Tsuno books I read at that time...
