Makes you think doesn't it?

P.S. For fans of Supermarionation, Gerry Anderson's Fireball XL5 gets released on DVD this year.

Time for me to win the Washington State Lotto. I bought my ticket yesterday. It's up to 12 million now.

If so, I would like to contribute to the production.

LOL FUN FUN FUN FUNFUN!!!!!

God I rather watch that crew and at that EXACT budget every week, then the Picard crew. A true labor of love, just a load of fun.

I feel young.....

Great work to all who worked on it.

Laters,

Peter,

Is that true? Fireball XL5 on DVD? Is it the original B/W marionette show? If so, that would be SO COOL! I have such fond memories of it - we even got the full (huge) playset for Christmas. complete with humongous scale model with detachable nose, launchable skid set, the works! (Ah, if I only had that set now, EBay would be my friend :)).

Please let me know if it's the same one, I'll have to get it. Let's see if I remember the theme song:

:music:
I wish I was a spaceman
The fastest guy alive
I'd fly you 'round the universe
In Fireball XL5...
:music:

Thanks!

P.S. How about Supercar?

:music:
Supercar
Supercar
It flies thru the air
And under the sea
And it can journey anywhere...
:music:

:muffit:

[peter noble]

Yes Muffit, it is THE Fireball XL5 in b/w. :)

And yes that's the theme song. :) God a Gerry Anderson series that's actually older than I am!

Re: Supercar, not sure about that one. I know over here we've had Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90 released on DVD.

Thanks so much Peter! I just did a search and yep it's coming this February to Amazon among others. So cool! Look at me I'm five years old again!

Hey Fireball XL5 fans!

Even more cool -- you can find the complete set on DVD for as low as $53.17 (plus shipping is free!) at the following link:

That's half the list price and $25 less than Amazon...
Pretty cool!
