[QUOTE]Originally posted by 137th Gebirg: [QB] Oops. Sorry about that. I guess, having an account there, I never noticed it was required just to look at posts. Here's the original post: [QUOTE]From [b]Valdore:[/b] Hi all, Ok. So it's 5am. I should be sleeping, but couldn't. So, what better way to to pass the early hours than googling old toys from my childhood. Y'know, as you do. Anyhoo. Long story short. I found the USS Chekov's pod!!!!!! Basically, the pod was the cockpit cover from a few of the Scitex toys from 1987. ( In this case the Sand cruizer. The Groster also had that part. ) And looks fairly unmodified. The toys were produced by Tomy. So they're a stable mate for the Zoids brand. Which is why the damn part seemed so familiar to me when the new photos of the Wolf 359 ships came to light. For all I know, the Zoids, and Scitex's may have had interchangeable parts. Lol Anyway. Spread the word. Just checked eBay, and came up with zip. So even though l think I've found it. It'd probably still be easier to scratch the bloody thing. Always the way Rolling Eyes Edit: Make that 5:18am. It took me 18 minutes to write the above on my tablet. Lol Edit 2: Still looking, and the piece was also part of the Tomy Tomics range, as seen here from the site CollectinDX http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/1987/treadmaster Of note is the cranes arm. That's where the part is. Originally, seems the part was a dark, smoked piece. That's seems to have the scribe lines, hinge, and the square detail underneath, exactly matching the Chekov's pod. Awesome. I Wonder why they only used that piece though? Bloody thing is packed with usable greeblies.[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
