      That Eagle is one sweet toy!

      I had a boxed one a number of years ago and sold it like an idiot

      Found it in a junk store of all places.

        I loved this toy. It felt huge.

        They had this great 3.75" scale spaceship in the vault right at a time when kids were desperate for more Star Wars toys. I wonder why Mattel didn't try to re-release this (maybe with some minor aesthetic changes to avoid 1999 licensing)?

          Wicked! Amazing toy for it's time. Kind of a precursor to the later Kenner SW large vehicle/playsets like the Falcon.
          You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            This Eagle, unfortunately, came out while I was in my cusp of wanting toys and not wanting toys -- (wanting girls instead)

            Great toy, bad release time

              The narrator kind of sounds like John Vernon!

                I received one for Christmas and it was a great toy. I don’t remember seeing a TV commerical. I probably learned about it in the Sears Christmas catalog.

                  Without fail, it's Vernon.

                      I had no idea there was a commercial for it. I was obsessed with the show, when I was little and I knew I wanted that ship, when I saw one in the store...bugged my mom endlessly...it showed up Christmas morning (I probably shared this photo before...I can't recall...).

                          I was NOT a fan of the show as a kid, but I could not resist the awesome of this toy when my brother got it for Christmas. I played with it whenever he wasn't looking.

                            Anyone else catch the kids calling out to “Alpha Control?” It instantly made me think of “Lost in Space” - I get the Alpha reference, but I wonder why they didn’t use “Moonbase Alpha” instead? Regardless, it’s a cool commercial that I’ve never seen before.

                              What an awesome toy. Can't believe I trashed mine when I was a kid.
                              I remember this commercial. Especially the part about winching up the figure.

                              I do remember not being happy that the one figure could only be used in the seated position.
