Howdy Folks After watching Space Pirates on DVD did anyone notice when Venus is reading to Jonathon Zero a Supercar book can be seen in the bookcase! Anyone...
Hi Jeff, Yes the Supercar book is a nice 'cross over'. As I understand it, Supercar was originally Sylvia's idea. She was going to write a children's book...
I get the impression that the Fireball XL5 comic is always due out 'next month' so Mrs Gooner saying in August that the comic is due out in September is...
... Hi Colonel, When I spoke with Kez Wilson of MiscMayhem at Comic Con San Diego in July the Fireball Comic was still Go! Go! Go! for September. He’s doing...
Thanks Diane, If anyone has any more up to date info on a publication date, price etc. I'd like to post it on Space City together with any info on where people...
Hi Fred. Thanks for your questions and the answers subject to my lose of memory in
old age are as follows. You did hear correct that 'some' of the models were...

Thanks Diane, that is indeed welcome news! Have a great day, The Colonel ... Hi Colonel, When I spoke with Kez Wilson of MiscMayhem at Comic Con San Diego in ...
Evening fellow Spacemen/Women, I've send an Email to the folks at the Misc Mayhem Website (I actually got through this time!) enquiring as to when the Fireball...
Hi Cliff, A trip in a Lancaster? Wow. Have fun! (I was chatting with Larry about Lancasters only a few weeks ago - but we were talking about 1/72 scale...
Thanks Colonel! Your resourcefullness is commendable. They obviously had their shields up - but you got through in the end. Hmmm you are right, I think they...
Hi, all. There's quite a curious cross-over between FIREBALL and SUPERCAR. The GAF 3D View-Master for SUPERCAR tells the story of an encounter between the...
Hi Mark, As one of the Supercar Fans of which you speak I can answer that that cave monster/lizard didn’t appear in any of the Supercar episodes. As a...
Another link twixt Supercar and XL5 was the spacerocket Super-R. This appeared in a Supercar annual back in the 60's. In the story Super-R was developed by the...
Speaking of Re-using things, Like the Space Monster being used in Stingray and the Supercar viewmaster. How many times did they Re-use Steve's hover car? I...
The hovercar seemed to get a spare wheel stuck on the back to represent Troy's car. I don';t think you see any other wheels on that prop though. When you...
There is a control console that sometimes appears in Fireball Junior's cockpit. (ever noticed the way those extra consoles come and go - even in the same...
I have to agree with Robin the Jetmobile was one of my separate pieces of XL5 hardware, I remember having one as a kid, they must be like gold today I haven't...
My brother and I had the pair of friction motor jetmobiles. These had what would be approx 8" plastic figures on them - Steve & Venus. I think Venus had...
Speaking of like gold, I imagine the small soft plastic jetmobile from the ~24 inch XL-5 toy from the Space City set - finding one of those with the control...
I think those MPC jetmobiles are probably a lot more common - and a good deal cheaper. Not very good models though. Hollow and open ended at the front. The...
Evening all, So apart from the MPC XL5 Playset and the friction drive Jetmobiles, there never were any serious Fireball action figures like the matchbox...
I guess Fireball XL5 was too early in the 60's to generate lots of spin off toys. I think Thunderbirds was the first Anderson series to really exploit the...
That is funny Dave. I will have to watch for that episode "First Flight" now. I had to find out more, so I looked up the Enterprise site and here is the...
Thanks much Cliff for all the great answers. As for trying to remember more, there is no rush, and maybe just getting involved again with this list will help...
I guess there are two ways to look at the Enterprise incident. a) It's a homage to XL5 b) The Trek team were extrapolating on proposed launch systems and ship...
Thanks for the link to the enterprise website, Fred. Pity there aren't any pics of the ship in question Dave Fred Becker <mach25@...> wrote: That is...
