Chris-
Thanks for the response on Bob. Sorry for the typo on your last name.
Funny comment there about the Space 1999 kit. I recall a column by Grant Boyd in the Centuri Rocket Times magazine when that kit was being readied for market where he stated things were taking a bit longer on the blow molding needed for the kit because many companies at the time (summer 1976) were converting products from spray cans to plastic squeeze bottles due to the then new concern of ozone depleting fluorocarbons. He stated there was a backlog of blow molding and they were having to wait their turn for the Space 1999 Eagle transporter.
Del Principe went on to work for some toy company, no? Seems like I remember reading that somewhere some time back.
