I was a MASSIVE fan of Space 1999. The 2 seasons were between 1975 and 1977 and had 24 episodes each.
I really wanted one of these when I was a kid. Not the models - but the metal "corgi" ones I think they were...but we were too poor. One guy at school had one and we all looked...drooling.
Anyway. For the last couple of years, after taking up scale modelling again, I occasionally looked around for one and found them - but never quite managed to push the buy button.
But tonight was the night. This sucker is mine and - for the first time in my life - I'll be a very proud owner of a Space 1999 Eagle.
**I know all that sounds quite sad - but I am soooo excited to own one of these. AND - I get to make it!**
