On the one hand, acquiring this set was absolutely terrific. Not only because of the original box, but because several pieces were only found in the UK. On the other hand, some of the pieces had issues. This rocket was missing two of the smaller nickel plated solid rocket boosters and I had to hit the spare parts bin for extras.
When Tri-ang teamed up with Multiple Toymakers to sell the toys here Stateside (under the Golden Astronaut banner), several color changes were made. This Nova 1 rocket was originally sold in the UK with a green main booster. Multiple Toymakers sold it here in the States with a purple booster. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
