oh man. I never had one of those. It looks AWESOME. surprisingly accurate as well.
Thanks for the feels anon. Loved this as a kid as well.
So pricey now.
I remember seeing one of those as a kid. Quite nicely detailed for back in the day. I recall the landing gear was articulated with spring mechanisms that worked just like they did on the tv show.

You recall wrongly then.
The landing gear was one piece that snapped in place. There were no "spring mechanisms".

That was my Millennium Falcon
I remember the front cockpit portion and the back rocket engines would come off and click together. It made for some great moon base / escape ship play.
I also remember the figures being shit with very little or no articulation.
Man did I love it though.

how was it ever possible to manufacture toys like this? No way could something that detailed ever be made today without costing hundreds or even thousands.
It truly is a marvel to see how people survived in the past.

It's a damn good toy, but it's not some technomarvel. It's basically the equivalent of a Star Wars ship, or GI Joe vehicle/base. It was even kinda chintzy for it's time it doesn't even have lights or sound. (Which for something of that vintages would be a regular lightbulb instead of a LED, and some sort of mechanical noisemaker instead of a sound chip.)

Possibly confused with the diecast Eagle made by Dinky - that one had sprung landing pads. I had three (still got one, but it's seen better days...).

Obviously, since that's not what's in OP, dumbass.

Your post doesn't even make sense. "Possibly" doesn't refer to confusion, but to what he possibly confused it with, moron.

You can't follow the conversation and you call me a moron?
Right back at you, Pedro.

That's not even an insult, that's just a name, idiot.
