So does this remind you of anything????

It's great the more I read into AM, the more AF pre-history I find.

AM was indeed our older brother...

Easy to see the Space force inspiration !

I used have that Space glider speeder thingy and 2 Patroller rubber outfits.

I also had the black space pirate .. captain zordon ? he was one of my favorites.

Strangly enough His henchman was my 12" boba fett figure !

I never fancied the intruder figure, there was something "wrong" about the way he looked !

Totally agree Paul, when I saw the leaflets in the 40th AM stuff I've been getting with these blokes and vehicles on I thought Space Force straight away.

One of the posts the Thundershot put up had an youtube clip with the adverts for these boys on too. Brought pack happy memories!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

It sounds like him..I think the 1st ad's voice over was done by the late Patrick Allen,http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituar ... Allen.html, he used to a lot of 70's ad's..
