Isn't that from Spaceballs? (Sorry for the dumb question, it's been a while since I last watched it...)
That would be a cool one!

A toy? Not a Model-kit? I have a long list but not many pictures to post on the subject:
The Buck Rogers: the Scorpion fighter, Sled Shuttle, Ardala's Shuttle, Searcher, The Space Shuttle, The Searcher Shuttles, The Old Version Starfighter, The War Witch's Shark Fighter, The EDD Cargo Vessel,
the list just goes on and on....
The, (classic), Galactica, the Shuttle, Rising Star, The Prison Barge, A Viper that takes 3 & 3/4 action figures
The Salvage 1 Vulture rocket
The Last Starfighter Gunstar
Many of these can be bought as garage model kits these days but at very high prices.

Perhaps they already make them, but a couple I'd like in a large scale would be the drop ships from Aliens and the interceptors from UFO.

I'd love a line of diecast vehicles from various tv shows all in the same scale. Similiar to that Johnny Lightning Lost in Space set.

An APES "Icarus" ship scaled for the MEGO figures would be awesome.

The Yamato (or Argo, if you prefer) from Star Blazers. There are models, but I would love a toy one, with mini crew member action figures.

I could swear I seen a Yamato diecast about 10-ish years ago in a Toy Collecting store... actually it was Outer Limits in NJ.
It was about 12" long and cost like 50-ish bucks (back then).
Came in a display box, I think.

Wow, that sounds pretty cool.
I think for me, its also about wanting action figures of the crew. So maybe what I REALLY want is a Yamato playset (like the ST Bridge playset) and Mego versions of the main characters. Yeah, it always comes back to mego : )

type 1 kirk is correct there was a diecast and plastinc yamato made in the 70's (it huge like 18 inches long) they sell for a ton on ebay.
Actually there is one Popy made it in JApan in the 70's I have one. they aslo made Kodai (wildstar) Shima (venture) Yuki (nova) Dessler (desslok) and OKITA (avatar). The coolest thing about the bridge is it talk (in japanese ) counting down for a firing of the wave motion gun

TRON - Tank , Solar Sailer , and " Recognizer" ( seen one out of paper that was terrible)
Space balls - of course the winnebago . I think it would be a easy build too.
Star Wars ; Large Death Star about 5' tall or half of it mounted on the wall with areas to open for play..( that's a playset)
Blade Runner - anything

The Endevor from the Micronauts comic, Classic Flash Gordon or Buck serial style ships for Mego size figures.

Decent sized "Liberator" from Blakes 7, "Scorpio" would be nice too and "Federation interceptor".
Damnation Alley truck/tank
A decent Kilngon D-7 that isn't a kit

Moya the Leviathan from Farscape
Space 1999 Eagle Transporter (not dinky toy size)
Seaquest from Seaquest DSV (well its like a spaceship but underwater)
And maybe the Flying Sub from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
I know the last 2 are not spaceships but would make great toys.

I'd love a Mego sized Galileo (here's looking at you EMCE :wink_y: )

I would love to see more die cast TOS Galactica at a quantity that is easier to get. Hasbro put out the Titanium line, but I can never find them in the stores and paying $7 or $8 dollars to pre-order plus shipping is fine, but sometimes even the pre-order is gone quickly and I don't feel like bidding for a Galactica on ebay and spending a week's worth of gas money. Would love to see a shuttle from them though or the Colonial Movers or Gemini Freighter. (Those two could actually be for either version of the show)

I think if the Buck Roger's figures had been 8" instead of 12" the two fighters would have been awesome. Blinking laser lights like the Star Wars toys did, just big enough for 8" figures.

Almost everything listed in this thread is or has been released as a resin garage kit. Federation models carrys alot of these kits.

Servans used to produce low runs on a lot of stuff such as the Liberator, Daleks, Cybermen/controller, Ice Warriors, Davros, eagles, thunderbirds..etc...mainly UK tv stuff...but awesome kits....had a few and wished they were still available...I remember the Ice Warior came with fur (fake) that you could add around the armour openings.

I don't think so the price point for 8" scale fighters would have been outrageous.
I suspect mego didn't put any electronics in the 3" line to reduce the risk od proeduction if they sold poorly (and you could get 2 starfighters for the price of 1 x-wing)

Having built many garage kits and custom megos for years, I've discovered they ain't no difference. They're all toys.:wink: And you can play with the resin space ships. Just have to be careful on those nose dives.:googly:

There was a cool set of 4 small die cast vehicles from ERTL that I got, but that's all I ever saw at retail.

A few years ago, SEGA put out two Nautilus ships in Japan, one small, about 8 1/2 inches long, which I believe was a prize in vending 'grab' machines. The other was much larger, and much more expensive, I never got that one. Not a toy in the sense that you can open it up and put guys inside, but great for putting out and messing with. It's worth checking out.
