I also still have my Starbird. Of course the ball turret and the interceptor fins are gone. It still worked the last time I tried it, though. Ok, the engine noise worked. I had a friend who fixed it in 1998 with a little solder.

SB: you've still got your Starbird?!

Jerk ;)

I am a packrat from a family of packrats. YET, all of my toys, even the large ones like the Starbird and my pile of Adventure People are missing.

All I have are my legos and a two extremely beat-up and piece-missing-y Robotech Defenders models

The Starbird ruled. First piece to be lost was the little gun on the ball turret. Then, the interceptors one by one... ME TOO!

I still have it though!

Chunky B: ended up with a Big Trax? Man, I wanted one of those.

It really was a genius toy. Simple and modular.

Oh YEEESSS!! Starbird ROCKED!! This substituted for a Y-Wing Fighter from Star Wars (since there wasn’t one at the time). I loved the fins that detached and became “interceptor” ships.

A buddy of mine had the Star Bird, that thing was awesome. I ended up with a Big Trax.
