Old Space Opera Nerd Stuff
For those of you out there who enjoy collecting things from sci-fi shows, I found these two items I have wanted since my childhood days online recently. Made of metal and fully assembled with stands (not shown here). These two items exceeded my expectations when they arrived. Even though the vendor site has consistent 5/5 star reviews, in my experience actual known customers' reviews outweigh online reviews. The Eagle Lander is approx 25cm long and the Cylon Raider is approx 15cm wing tip to wing tip for reference.

I notice they have a wide range of sci-fi collectibles available. Got my eye on some of the ships from The Expanse next...

I just noticed they have Daleks as well...

Nice find. The Eagle was (probably still is) my favourite fictional space craft. (I have the Space:1999 box set).

The Cylon Raider always looked too much like a wood louse to me ....

I have that box set too. Love the Eagle. Always thought it was a very practical craft for the moon. Rather than being excessively fanciful.

Loved the Eagle. I remember as a kid drooling over one in the shop window once. That show still has the grooviest score to date.

You and me both. Oddly enough, I've been looking at old Captain Scarlet memorabilia lately. I was always a bit of a fan. Hence the name / avatar...

Theme that is. Space 1999 was a great series.

Whilst I watched Thunderbirds on TV as a kid I never knew or watched anything regarding Captain Scarlett until I went to see these guys on stage in Melbourne early 2000's
