From the photo, the detail/decoration looks very Ra-ish (from the original Stargate film), though I know it looks nothing like the gliders used in the film. CC |

Wow, that is cool. I wish they were bigger than 3" across though. |

I have one of those. It was too cool to pass up when I came across it. It was in a Walmart, if I remember correctly, and years ago. |

Looks like something form the Rift Raiders or Ridge Raiders series, and it should still be available if I'm correct.
As a 70's Lesney fan and part-time collector I'll pass on these.
CC, you might want to have a go for the Adventure 2000 stuff from Matchbox.
These are slightly bigger and you could imagine a 28mm SciFi figure just coming out of it. |

I have one in my 1/72 box, I think. I think there is a little green man inside IIRC. I had used it as a small one-man flyer. The next time I go to Toysrus or Walmart, I will look again to see if they are still on the market. I think they are too small for 25mm/30mm though, if that's what you're looking for. |

Nice. Since the pilot is an alien, it can be shorter than a 28mm-30mm human. Actually, I will soon order these short guys to go along with the "Luna C" I just bought: picture CC
PS. Lordofdane, I will give the Adventure 2000 Matchbox a look. Thanks for the tip. |

And when not mint/boxed they will kost you next to nothing.
So I think modellers like us could do nice things with them. |

They seem to be a bit too small for 28mm figures, even the short Copplestone Greys. So, let's see what other say about using them with 15mm: TMP link Dan |
