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

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 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.
