okay Darren man that collection rocks ! I can believe you have the car I wish you lived in Seattle I would be at your house in heartbeat!

[starsky]

Very cool! Thanks for the details. That's a collection to be very proud of Darren.

thanks tom. if you need help with finding a car or getting started on one let me know i can definitely point you the right way!

[starsky]

Darren, your cars ROCK!

I love Starsky and Hutch! Great show, and you can catch me watching it w/ my Megos on some weeknights on RTV. I always thought Hutch was nutty, but definitely hot!

BTW...does anyone else think that Dobey shoulda been on a FAT Mego body? I mean, let's face it Bernie Hamilton (RIP) was no lightweight.

thanks sharry!! yup, capn dobey shoulda been on a fat body instead! a few of my friends had the chance to meet bernie before he passed and they said he was an all around great guy! i wish i could have met him too.

hey tom i take it out maybe every other weekend. i try to do it more but always run out of time. the car drives like a boat but it is fun to drive. it has a stock 351 windsor. i would like to modify the engine but so far i've only done headers and dual flowmaster exhaust. also has rear airshocks to give it that rake.

Wow! Okay now I know someone who owns a Starsky Gran Torino. You already rocked in my book...but now... Your a Golden God! Question on your Torino...How often do you take it out and how good a ride is it? I'm looking around for one to possibly restore, but I have never driven one. I use to driving Mustangs and that style car. How is the ride on a Ford Torino and does it have the stock 351 Cleveland in it or something different? That is so sweet! Nice collection bro.

Even the Palitoy carded versions are superior to what Mego put out state side. I think there might have been a bigger industry for the show overseas than what it was here in America. I always see fan magazines overseas that never seemed to pop up here.

The Palitoy packing is phenominal. I'd luv to buy the 2 pack based on the art alone.

"Bi-Way".. now there's a blast from the past, I forgot about that store.

I always hear about the UK S&H box set coming with guns, but I've never seen a pic, even Paul's pic above doesn't seem to show them. What kind of guns did the box set come with?

Sadly my set are unarmed.

Bill Frost sent me this pic ages ago from his set. He said that they are quite different from the AJ pistols.

>I remember whole endcaps of Dobey and Huggy Bear at "Bi-Way" as a kid.

Wow. That's where I got my Trek Megos when I was a kid.

I think the secondary Starsky and Hutch figures are kinda rare. I've had a helluva time finding them. (All I have is a nekkid Huggy Bear.) I don't know if I've ever seen a Capt. Dobey for sale.

Chopper is one of the only Megos I've ripped off a badly damaged card to have a mint loose one. He was the last one I needed to complete my loose S&H set. I do have a set MOC but still want to get a Palitoy Starsky (I guess with Space:1999 legs) and the 2-pack. Someday.

This closed auction below shows a close up of them. I'm not sure if they belong to Action Jackson or not.
