Tri-ang SpaceX Superset 1 No. 1175 - Pt 3 EARTH BASE SERIES Helicopter P3

This P3 Helicopter was missing from my set as seen in the photo below. However, I just recently bought a MOC replacement so now the set is complete. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

The cavity for the helicopter is at the bottom, middle

Hasbro Army Mini-truck with Pom Pom Gun (3in) HP

Back in September and October of last year I was hot-&heavy into posting these military mini-trucks. However, true to form, one truck slipped through the cracks, this 3" mini-truck in hard plastic from Hasbro. This thing came as part of a job lot and to my surprise it was made by Hasbro. Up until receiving this I had no idea they made these small trucks. Well, now I know. I haven't pursued tracking down other Hasbro mini-trucks because other collecting interests have taken precedence, but maybe one day...

...or not!

These comparison photos show the Hasbro truck along with an NFIC truck

The gun on this is huge so I'm just gonna call it a Pom Pom anti-aircraft gun

Tri-ang SpaceX Superset 1 No. 1175 - Pt 2 EARTH BASE SERIES Forklift 7

All four Spacex series' were well represented in the No. 1175 Superset. Not every single toy in every series was included - basically the bigger stuff was left out - but the set is awesome just the same. Here's the Forklift 7 as represented in the set. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

Random Photos From The Archive: Classic Toy Soldiers (CTS) Tiger II with Porsche Designed Turret & Modern BMC Sherman Tank

I was going through the photos to see what I could post next and came across these shots from a few years ago. It was a quick set-up using a couple of terrain pieces, a Classic Toy Soldiers (CTS) Tiger II tank with Porsche Designed Turret and a modern BMC (as opposed to the original BMC from the '80s/90s) Sherman tank.

Tri-ang SpaceX Superset 1 No. 1175 - Pt 1 Set Box and List of Contents

We start another small series today: Tri-ang's SpaceX Superset 1 No. 1175. These Superset's are devilishly hard to come by here Stateside and usually have issues. Mine was no exception, however I was fortunate to acquire the proper red Tractor T-5 and the proper green Rocket Nova 1. In addition, the set had an intact Moonscape - Yay! The set includes pieces from all four SpaceX series:

EARTH BASE SERIES

-Forklift 7

-Helicopter P-3

-Tractor T-5 (in HTF red)

SPACE STATION SERIES

-Needle Probe

-Reconnaissance

-Rocket Ship 'Hawk'

-Supply Force Mercury

MOON BASE SERIES

-Base Patrol Cricket P-1

-Explorer Mev2

-Mobile HQ

-Prospector

OUTER SPACE TRAVEL SERIES

-Pleasure Cruiser 1

-Nuclear Freighter NF2

-Rocket Nova 1 (in HTF green)

-Space Patrol

ACCESSORIES

-Vacu-form Moonscape

-6 Figures

The box of my set is rough, as is the vacu-formed tray which holds all the pieces. The set had a couple of pieces broken and the Helicopter P3 was missing. Fortunately the P-3 is fairly easy to replace. This truly is a super set for Tri-ang SpaceX fans!

The Helicopter P-3 would have gone in the empty slot, bottom middle
