Memories of rocket-firing Vipers and.....Fett

[Spectre]

Here is the REAL story.
Most of you may remember--I do!
I was lucky enough to have had the rocket-firing versions of the viper, raider and scarab.
And--pissed enough to get a letter from Kenner that I would not be getting a Boba Fett that fired a rocket, but one that was glued in. Hey, I sent my 4 proofs of purchase labels in!!!

I always wanted that viper. Never got it. Maybe it's time to buy back some of that childhood... Lol

Although finding a firing version will be next to impossible.

[Reaper]

I had the firing Viper and Raider, but the Scarab I had was the "safe" version. I was always upset I never had the Stellar probe though lol

[Spectre]

I had the probe.
It was a cool toy--better than the scarab...in my opinion.

Speaking of toys.....

My best and favorite BSG toy EVER, was the viper control station.
It launched 2 foam vipers that really flew!!!

Loved that toy.
Will see if I can dig it up......

And just like "that"...here ya go!
Even found a video of the original commercial. I'd buy this again--saw a few on eBay recently, but waaaaay overpriced.

My friend had that. Loved it!!!

Never had anything but my lonely Starbuck figure. :/ That and my beloved Sonic Fazer which looked akin to the Galactica laser. Had that for one day and my neighbor stole it. I have since bought one back as an adult setting one wrong right. Lol

Growing up I had a Viper model that I assembled and played with till it disintegrated. I have most of my toys as a kid, but some did not make it out of sheer love.

Also had a Starbuck, Emperious Leader, Cylon, Ovian (coolest figure I thought) and Lucifer.

Oh... a friend of mine had the Viper and Cylon ships that fired, so that was cool.
