Oh man, I love your site. I stumbled on to your site looking for Fisher-Price info. While I am a child of the 70's(1977) I mostly grew up in the 80's, but I had 2 older brothers(68', 70') so I inherited tons of 70's toys, & clothes(Wore a plaid jacket over a tan vest, and pants to my first communion in 1982, I looked like a used car salesman while everyone else was going to the yacht club-navy blazers & gold buttons) and I think there was enough residual disco glory by the time I was aware (1980-1981?)Which brings me to the alpha probe! I was a Gil Gerard/Buck Rogers and Real Space Shuttle freak in 1980/81 and I woke up on Christmas morn to find the adventure people Alpha probr, a highlight of my life- quite possibly one of my alltime favorite toys ever. We also had (and I have passed it to my 6 yr old son) The Adv. People Rescue vehicle, and the boat. At the time I didnt even realize were F-P stuff. I thought the sea explorer was the boat from flipper and the Alpha Probe was a Buck Rogers ship. Hah love the site GREAT WORK!
