Picked this little gem from the past up today for 6.99 at the local peddler's mall... It was MIB, but I realy couldn't resist tearing into it and putting new batteries in and generally flying around my room shooting missiles at the cats...
so, if you can't tell it's an independance day alien fighter! I've only seen ONE of these ever listed on e-bay and it was going for well over 30 bucks. I couldn't pass this babe up.
The funniest thing is that on the box it advertized a "mission disk" with a little computer game on it... the "system requirements" said "must have windows 3.1 or better!"
HA!... I open the box and it's a freaking floppy disk!
back to the toy, this thing is superb, they just don't make toys like this anymore. It's got lights and sound clips of the engines and blasters firing up and shooting, it's got two missile launchers that came with (get this!) EXTRA missiles... do you EVER see extra missiles packed with vehicles these days?!!? and it has two little bombs that drop out of a compartment underneath... AND it had a pilot.
now as you can see from the pics the ship is realy small. So is the pilot. The alien only comes to duke's knees!
I'm realy debating on whether or not to customize this or not. I would like to customize it to fit a joe figure... I think there is more than enough room in the cock-pit for some jimmying around... but I don't know if I want to risk completely destroying this rare gem either. what do you guys think?
