Going back about 10 or 12 years there was a toy. It was a bigish white spaceship type thingy with tiny little soldiers that you could sit into the cockpit... i tink it was called force sumting or sumting force...

anyone?

there was a cartoon which these were the figures for.

Starcom was pretty cool though. I never had any of the toys though.

What was that other toy? It was a big ship and it had about a dozen other vehicles inside it. It was pretty popular and a year or two later they realeased another one that was full of bad guys.

My bro had that one and another, like a control centre. I used to play with it all the time.

Sorry dunno about the original one you're talking about.

Ah yes. That's the one I was thinking of. It was a pretty great toy alright. I was always pretty jealous of anyone who had it.

Ah yeah, I have the bad guy one at home, big red one, slightly different shape and full of baddie men! Loved it, but not as much as starcom, which rocked cos the figure were better and had magnets so y ou could stick them to the fridge.

You could get free 3-d starcom comics in toymaster with the glasses. Great gimmick
