I remember it was pretty pricey too. Around here maybe more than $100.

Does anyone know what the alpha probe space shuttle originally retailed for? For some reason I thought it was pretty expensive (was it close to the 100.00 range?) and why I was never allowed to buy it. I just remember staring at it endlessly on the toy store shelves wishing I could get it

Yup I did! I remember we lived in a big house. I would get to the very top of the roof throw them off. I was always amazed cause I thought it would go straight down instead it would glide into the yard somewhere! Good memories!

Yea, you're right, I remember it seemed like he would take forever to come down. Mine got stuck in plenty of trees and phone lines!

No mine hit a grown up in the head and that's the last I saw of him.I traded for another one later he always ended up in electric wires.

Anyone else get caught throwing their parachute man off of the the roof of the house, or was it just me?

I was just getting out of them, and other toys then. I became a teenager.

Even though I was way into Adventure People circa 1980, I never had a really strong interest in the space toys, I was still very much into the scuba/water sets and car/van sets. Then again I was one of those weird nerdy kids who thought the TV Van playset was just the coolest thing ever, lol. But now as an adult collector I am really intrigued with the space themed toys they made. That photo of the giant display makes my head spin, I adore Fisher Price toys.

I had the Ambulance and the divers with the raft.I used to use the milkbox on my grandmas front porch for my fire station.

[Red Hulk]

Some of my favorite sets were the Dune Buster,Motorcycle and Kyak .I would have liked the 4X4 set with the Bandit figure too but I was little old for toys by then same with the Alpha Probe.

[brannon86]

Cool, love to hear the stories and adventures. I thought the Space line came out in the 80s, because I never had them. My toy playing days were over by the time 1980 hit.

[Red Hulk]

The Space sets came out in the 1980 I never had them just the X-Ray woman.We used to play in a couple places mostly mine or my friends back yard or ClayHill which was behind a building across from my backyard.There was a huge piece of stone we used for a mountain climbing rock there.

[brannon86]

Where did you guys play with your Adventure People? Pool, woods, Streams, beach, where were your adventures?

[brannon86]

Did the space stuff come out in the 80s? Never had the space sets. Thought they were cool, but I think I was done with toys by the time the space stuff came out.
