Powerhead Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Is there a difference between them or just you want to own every remaining speciment in circulation? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennetzel Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Awesome saucers. I've taken a liking to retro space ships, have a few in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunik Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I like them as 3s. Flying saucers use to appear in groups, don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gernot Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 yes I agree, Saucer fleets look better than one single Saucer! Hard to find Saucer in any condition, the arrangement of the color lights seems to be the only difference. It took me decades to find one in good condition. The unusual metallic color print seems to be damaged usually on this toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6Stelab9 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 That's what we call a "home invasion of the flying saucers", Gernot! I try not to read too many thread about flying saucers as i try to avoid being hit by the virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gernot Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Here some shots of the sample I got some years ago- thanks to Marco! Normally i do not like the plastic Babyface Heads of some saucers- but these two pilots look different - more serious. Look at that shiny bottom surface- very unique among all saucers in my collection. As far as remember- the version on the box with the big yellow stripe was only pictured in a sales catalog and never surfaced in real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Nice set Astrogonza. I think there is something about the formula of that metallic litho that makes it more likely to perish over time. There are other toys with metallic litho that becomes splotchy in the same way but I can't think of them at the moment. It's definitely a common problem with this toy even when properly cared for. I like the checkerboard pattern behind the pilots as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick_B Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I love the saucers hanging on the wall! I think I'll try that display style too. I wonder if the Mrs will care if i paint the wall black or midnight blue? as to babyface heads, I too do not care for them. It really makes no sense. Babies cant pilot space ships. your two pilots though probably let some young 8 year old boy imagine himself as the pilot as he launched his X-3 over the roof or down the stairs. hmmm..... You said these were hard to find, did you? thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotRobby Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I have found this thread in Robot Talk but nothing seems to be listed in the Timeline, any ideas on year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Its on page 201 in the Modern Toys book. William Gallagher dated it 1973-1974. But we see a slightly different version pictured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
