while talking hawkwind & toys, one can always mention Masters of the
Universe, Elric/Stormbringer on the cover to the (at least swedish) Dragons
& Dungeons box - and this little conversation I had with a toy store in
California a few months back, after an Alta Vista scan for HW:
======================================================
toy:  Air Raiders Hawkwind & Twin Lightning Set   mib $35.

joe:  can you please tell me - an old Hawkwind fan - what
joe:  this HW stuff is about.

toy:  Its one of the best sets I have seen. Its great for all
toy:  ages. The trouble is I Sold it last week to a 30 year old.
toy:  How old is the list you saw ?

joe:  The list was about mid January, but I got no hurry.
joe:  What is a "Air Raider Hawkwind"?
joe:  is there a serie out with the name "Hawkwind"
joe:  if so, how many different articles? what price range?

toy:  Air Raiders was a toy line from the 1980s that died
toy:  It was a great line but anything without a cartoon show
toy:  dies. The HAWKWIND was an airplane from the line.
