I spent an evening building it. It was an interesting build, because the
plate construction seemed reasonably unique compared to other Classic Space
sets I had built, but when I had finished it and swooshed it around a few
times, I was both surprised and disappointed to find that it didn’t give me
the feeling of nostalgia that I expected. In fact, I didn’t even find the
ship as cool as I thought I would when I finally got it in my hands. I looked
a bit dinky.
Anyway, light the torches, I’m ready to be tied to the stake now. :-)

Heck, I wasn’t even born when it hit the shelves! (Geoff Gray, not a word out
of you!) :^P
