Yes its an original CORGI I believe and it is pretty heavy-they made things to last back then. Check Ebay that normally has toys like that.

I still have this exact same item, purchased in Italy in 1975 when we were still living there.

Now that truly was Must See TV.

Not the crap on TV now that they tell you you Must See and I'd rather watch grass grow and paint dry!

I'm about to graduate to watching paint grow and grass dry, this new season in the US is so bad.

It was actually on a couple weeks ago and I didn't tape it. Intriguing title but the show is such crap. I did just tape last Saturday's episode with Gary Coleman as a "493 year old boy genius President"(ridiculous); only out of curiosity.

Honestly the episode was like Different Strokes in Space. What you talk'n bout Buck! Really laughable!

Watched the 1984 movie Body Double on TV last night. Directed by Brian DiPalma, who made Scarface, you can tell it was by the same guy. Had the same feel, color, lighting. The movie itself was pretty silly - a lot of unlikelihoods, mediocre acting, and annoying characters. But the plot was interesting and the last 3 minutes explained it all. Oh, and the movie introduced us to a character named Holly Body... I had to fight the urge to tell my wife how I knew that name!

^^^ You forgot to mention Holly Body was played by Melanie Griffith.

Found an article from 2016 about it defending the film:

American Horror Story Apocalypse. The ending was pretty much what I'd thought it would be, but plotwise, this was the best season yet.

Anyone watched this?

Homecoming (2018)

That's the Lunar Interceptor from the earlier series UFO (which has been under discussion for a re-make). The Eagle Transporter from Space 1999 was a reasonably plausible design with the components carried in a framework. I had this as a plastic kit (Airfix I think) and it looked really good. Don't remember what happened to it. I probably gave it away.
