Starcom Vehicle

It's hard to buy inexpensive toys that are around 28mm scale. That's why I grabbed this in a flea market.

The Starcom show came out in the 80's and was cancelled after a brief season. They made 23 vehicles for the show as well as six playsets. If I see more of these, as long as they look good I'm going to pick them up. Be aware that complete vehicles sell for big bucks on the internet. A complete out of the box version of this vehicle can be upwards of $100, so look in yard sales and flea markets.

I'll probably give a paint job to this vehicle but not for a little while.

 The toys also had moving parts as a "power deploy" feature. They also had lots of magnetized areas for the weapons and action figures to grip onto. As you can see above, the deployed feature isn't appealing.
