Anyone remember "Megaforce"?  It was a line of toys released in the late
80s that consisted of die-cast metal tanks (in about 1/300 scale) and
some
larger plastic accessories.  The tanks in this line were pretty mediocre
--
not bad, but they were burdened with these awful plastic turrets -- but
they also produced some VTOLs that were absolutely beautiful.  There
were
two styles (one for the bad guys, one for the good guys) and each had
both
a 2 and a 4 engined version.

I've got three of these things, and I'd love to find some more...so does
anyone know where I could look?  I've seen a few on ebay, but not
recently.
 I've got some of these huge Osprey-like things from the same line if
anyone wants to trade....

And yeah, I'm still toying with the idea of picking up some War Planets
stuff on closeout.  Nice 15mm figures....
