    The basic design was then used for the ship transporting Leia and the Droids at the beginning of the first episode:

    That’s the Blockade Runner.

    I think you actually mean the CR90 Corvette, but I could be mistake – your lack of precision is disturbing.

    I think you’ll find that in those Republic diplomatic colours, it’s actually the Tantive IV [/pedant]

    Your overconfidence is your weakness.

    “I never understood why it was green”

    I think these series are a little before my time, however…

    A while back Mark Kermode had ?the son? of the guy responsible for that series on the film show, because Mark was a massive fan of the series in question, he asked the above question as well (I think he repainted his one the correct colours). The answer was that with that and other models from the series, the marketing team belonging to the toy company were convinced that the correct colours were not appealing, that no one would buy the toy. Green, however, was a guaranteed seller… Hence they ended up green 🙂

    PS i had to post in this thread as i dreamed i accidentally broke a priceless model with little trusses and was desperately trying to fix it :/

    You’re confusing ship type and name.

    Your overconfidence is your weakness.

    And your faith in your knowledge is yours.

    Spectrum pursuit vehicle…

    It was really heavy and you could do some real damage to the other kids toys with it.

    Yeah, that’s the one. As you put it – a bloomin’ heavy bit of kit that could destroy most of the other kids toys.

    On a similar destructive theme, I had a rather large ball bearing I used as a marble, about 50mm in circumference. When it came to dropping the marble from above only those made of metal would survive.

    Not sure but I would imagine that was launched at the head of some unsuspecting sod, too…

    When I was a little kid i went out to my Dad’s garage one morning and found this……

    Strakers car from UFO.
    My dad was transporting it to a Car Show somewhere (Ingliston, maybe?) and had picked it up the day before from Dave Lee Travis, who bought it from the production company when the show finished.

    I thought that all of the Elite ships were named after snakes?

    nah they do a line of snakes, birds and even some big cats (tiger lion panther etc – historically anyway)

    Then there’s the oh so cool imp courier

    Post sci-fi babe pictures

    all those women were high ranking vital members of the crew.

    Wilma outranked Buck, Seven basically ran the show and Captain Davidoff saved Jason every week

    positive empowered female role models.

    and, unlike many male cyclists, look good in skin tight clothing thats both practical and comfortable

    Still have my 2003 era re-issue eagle on my office desk

    Bigger than the original one and seem to be about £140 last time I looked on ebay. No suspension landing pads though….
