How much did you pay to import it? -Ralph ID had them very briefly for £30. And no, it wasn't me. I can wait for a Smyths sale next spring. |

No idea who this could possibly be... Okay, fine. I do. Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheLlamaGod/status/1574349956257034245They literally appeared in Singapore on my last night there. Not in a general department store (and it's mad enough seeing a fully stocked Legacy line in one of those as it is), but in one of the specialist hobby stores, that I was passing at the end of the day on the way to something else. I'd have offered out to chums here if I'd known in advance, but unfortunately I didn't have time to go back to the store before we had to get the plane. |

One of the chums owns a Crasher. I will give them an opportunity to confess and post a picture.... Is it...The Kaptain? -Ralph The Kaptain is poorly and Crasher does not have wings or rotor blades. |

VERY left field, but looks fab, far better than Astrotrain.
I think the tender colours have been carefully chosen to make the base resemble Countdown's which Galaxy Shuttle used.

Also makes it feel like, along with Botropolis Rescue Mission, another compatible companion set to Earthrise Sky Lynx.

This gives me hope that other one & done toys might be due a comeback: Doubledealer has a ton of possible repaints we thought of

That was definitely one I wasn't expecting, and a mold that I'd forgotten about, too. I dunno how long it's been since Astrotrain, but it feels like a lifetime. (I mean, it probably has been for the Scraplet.)

Yeah...and instead of a bad train mode, there's an advanced folding shuttle ground transport module mode...

I'd make a note, but normally we've vanished before you come on, so you're safe. Unless someone else remembers.

I know bases and ramps and stuff are things Phil loves, but every time I see this mold, I feel like so much is wasted.
A decent (not great, just decent) robot, a passable but borderline awful train, and a half finished shuttle that would never survive lift off, let alone reentry.
I would have rather have had the budget that went into the tender/base that doesn't even work right and the half dozen guns, go into finishing Astrotrain, instead.
