Back in 1979

Back in 1979, I really dreamed about this set. Never saw an ad though. Until today.

    I got this set at Xmas of ‘79. It, along with one 5" Great Mazinger, defined my childhood. It really was an incredible set, and now my 5-year-old uses the remains of it to build LEGO spacecraft not too different from mine.

    Was that James Earl Jones narrating?

    Dre - I think I ended up getting that set in ‘80 and like you my kids are now using the bits to make their own ships. My step-son still thinks the best ship I’ve built was my attempt to rebuild this one from memory alone. :)

    I wonder why they don’t use that slogan from the end of the ad, because it’s really great.
