Spot on Airhead. It\'s from the 1978 Super Joe\'s line.

Blight: I remember that Cylon figure you\'re talking about - more so because I didn\'t have it and wanted it soooooo bad.

There was also a space ship that looked similar to a Y-Wing fighter from Star Wars that had a detachable front section and depending which way it was pointed (up or down) it made spacey higher and lower engine noizes. Anyone? (it was while with red pinstriping, I believe).

The USS flag that was a definately want item in my childhood that I never did get.

@Airhead - good one. I had no clue on that name, even looking at it I don\'t recognize the name, but I do recognize the figures. I remembered why I thought they were Big Jim, I had all of mine in a Big Jim Carrying case. Those Super Joe figures were great. I had a bunch of weapons and stuff that you would attach to them and then plug into their side and they would move.

Wow doing a google search on Big Jim Carrying case found my old ones, sort of. There is an old link to a local Kijiji add that sounds exactly like my old collection which we sold at a yard sale years ago.

@Suki do you maybe mean A wing from Star Wars and the Buck Rodgers ship? I remember that making so much noise of various types that my parents quickly \'lost\' the batteries to it. It\'s the right timeframe Here\'s a small pic

Edit: better pic:

Or maybe this:

Edit again:
Okay while looking for something else found this, which I have very fond memories of

Actually that whole www.plaidstallions.com site is like a total flashback to toy heaven.
