The original BSG was the closest thing to Star Wars on the TV for me back in the day. Got to stay up late on a Sunday to watch it. Good times.
So for my birthday I got a Viper and a Cylon ship. I was stoked!
Now, each ship came with these little red plastic missiles that went in a spring loader and shot out when a button was pressed - 70s toy tech for a firing laser blast.
Problem is, this feature was later classified as a choking hazard and purchasers of the toys were asked to return them for "fixed" versions - no firing projectiles.
I, of course, did not do that. Heck no! These toys were the closest thing to a bb gun I would ever own, lol. (My parents had a strict "no guns" policy. Blik.) Many a lined-up Centurion 'took one for the team' after carefully aiming my ships.
Anyone remember these toys? Each ship came with a miniscule pilot, which got easily lost.
Wish I could get a hold of one today for nostalgia!
