I think that they often got made into crossover adventures with the battlestar galactica toys to help break out of the problem with the Star Wars plots being pretty much set :)<br />(Reply) (Thread)<br /> <br />From: originaluddite<br />Date: March 3rd, 2010 03:46 pm (local)<br /> Select: Edit Delete Screen Freeze Track This<br /> (Link)<br />Ah so you think that is a problem too. See I know there is all that Expanded Universe stuff but somehow even as a kid I was standoffish.<br /><br />As time went on we expanded the 'castaways' side with aliens that were _intended_ to be good by the makers - like Admiral Ackbar and Nien Numb. The group also had cool generic vehicles that I remember were packaged as for use with "Star Wars or GI Joe" action figures (given a similar size). One was an eight-wheel drive futuristic truck thing and another was a floating futuristic gun-boat.<br /><br />Battlestar Galactica! Talk about a blast from the past. I recently looked on YouTube at toy ads for those and also for Buck Rogers figures. Scary but fun to watch.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710148812664294219noreply@blogger.com
