Day 618, Quasi-Quarantine: Reliving Beautifully Melancholic 1970s Battlestar Galactica Toys


Yeah, so this one brings back all the feels.

My brothers and I definitely had the Colonial Scarab at least, and while it was rather much amazing, it was also disappointing.

Legend has it that the trigger-activated missile function was deactivated because a kid had choked and died on one of the missiles. So our version of the Colonial Scarab had the button and the missile, but it wouldn't fire, and the missile was locked in place.

Which sadly makes me remember that we were super pissed at a random dead child in Wisconsin for ruining a badass toy.

I'm sure we found other ways to injure ourselves and each other, however. We were imaginative like that.
