Does anybody remember the name of a toy space ship that came out in the 80's. It had electronic sounds that included lasers and it would change pitch when you moved up or down. It would also separate, with the front cabin detaching from the body, with two plastic mini vessels that detached from the wings (they were kinda a similar shape to the Imperial shuttle).

Just one of those things that popped into my head and is bugging me


Found it! A MB Startbird

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

Mask had some cracking models back in the day too.
They all had suitably funky names too.

Oh my!



There were loads of expansion packs such as the Viking boats, Minatours and Super catapults (I think?!).

Great stuff

Oh man, reminds me of this game!

I used to play this every time I visited my cousins. So much fun!

I thought you were talking about the Starcom ships. I used to have this one, it was pretty cool what it could do...
