I had the Enterprise, but me and my dad used to visit Toys By Roy in Albuquerque's Winrock Mall and we'd both stare longingly into the glass case full of Dinky Toys, coveting the UFO stuff. At that point, I didn't understand that dad dug the show for the purple-haired moonbase chicks…
Fiona- Well said, I totally agree.
Scott- That's kind of what got me to notice it.
