Okay Uplinkers, get your ... er ... gear out! This is the place to wow the masses with pictures and recollections of your nerdy assortment of sci-fi toys. We won't take the 'sci-fi' part too literally. Either/or will be fine if you happen to be the proud owner of a Buzz Aldrin action-figure or such like ... anything spacey or techy is fair game for this thread. I hope to see some primo pieces of sci-fi kit, so don't be shy.<br /><br />I'll go first. Back in the day, when SpaceKiwi was a mere chickling, I got these items over the course of a couple of Christmas'es/ and birthdays. They are part of the Matchbox "Adventure 2000" (when 2000 was still a pretty 'wow' concept for a kid!) series of king-size di-cast toys. I still have one of the K-2001 Raider Command and two of the K-2004 Rocket Striker, complete with all rockets, soldiers and original packaging. I will validate this with pics of mine once I fish them out of a storage box, but will give you the gist with some shots I'm stealing off a website.<br /><br />My brother and I used to make up all kinds of adventures for the vehicles on distant planets, where there was always a good supply of diesel and gravity was exactly 1G. I hope to live long enough until these toys are actually worth something.<br /><br /><br />LINK to better, but copyrighted, pictures. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?
