Pure gold. You will not believe it. I emitted an audible gasp at 0:45.

2 Warps to Neptune 
Wow. I think I would’ve emitted an audible gasp as well at :45, but you kinda gave it away, lol. Instead I muttered an “Aw, MAN.” Classic.
I transferred a bunch of old Super 8mm film to DVD, and I found a clip of my friend getting a Space:1999 Eagle One ship for his birthday (I think it was ’78 or something). I wish it was a XMas clip, it would’ve been perfect.
Unless it was about his short shorts (he stood up around the 45 second mark), I’m not sure what we were gasping at.
That’s when he pulls the Death Star out of the bag. Are you a Communist?
At :45 it’s definitely gasp worthy but the REAL moment of stunned, I-want-to-reach-through-the-computer-screen-and-across-the-barrier-of-time to pluck out of the kid’s hands is what he unwraps at the :50 mark! That’s a SEARS exclusive!
Yeah. Blue Snaggletooth. My adult brain thinks about that. My kid brain thinks about that Death Star, the greatest playset ever.
