The dad of my best friend at the time pulled it out of a dumpster for them. They were poor and I was far from too proud to drool over it (I never cared if a toy was new or used).<BR/><BR/>Rob: no matter how nonsensical!<BR/><BR/>Wurwolf: check it out!

I didn't pay much attention to shows like that.<BR/><BR/>I had forgotten about the Hudson Brothers. I used to watch that show on Saturday mornings. I remember one skit where the brothers were marooned on a deserted island and one of the brothers says, "Well, at least I can work on my tan." And a black guy who had been standing around behind them pops up, smiles big and says, "Oh yeah!"<BR/><BR/>Ah, racist humor in the 70s.wurwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00539706573261055745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-3873392974644877012008-07-01T09:47:00.000-04:002008-07-01T09:47:00.000-04:00AHI never met a character they couldn't slap a par...AHI never met a character they couldn't slap a parachute onto.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-41270537263921108812008-07-01T09:38:00.000-04:002008-07-01T09:38:00.000-04:00I remember seeing that Space:1999 Eagle Transporte...I remember seeing that Space:1999 Eagle Transporter in the window of a toy store while my family was on vacation in Wildwood, NJ in the summer of '76. I was tempted to ask my Mom if I could get it, but I wasn't too sure about the green cockpit and landing gear. I never understood why toy companies monkeyed around with the look of an object from a movie or TV show. I guess they thought the all white body wasn't kid-friendly or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
