    Back in the 60s recall a similar Fireball XL5 deal in the Christmas catalogs. There was a big plastic XL5 with stickers, a punch out cardboard building, the main characters, and a lot of smaller stuff recognizable from elsewhere.

      And believe it or not, they rereleased the XL5 set in the middle 70s as a Star Trek rip off, complete with Kirk, Spock and Uhura.
