I'm going nuts trying to track down a set of toys that were around in the early 1970s. There were a set of plastic Matchbox car sized space ships and vehichles. I believe they were sold on blister cards and were relatively inexpensive (<= $2 maybe per item).
Some of the vehicles I remember are: 1) a yellow 6 wheeled tow truck with a winch on the back, 2) an orange swing wing fighter type space plane (looks a bit like Battlestar Galactica viper), 3) a flat bullet shaped space ship with stubby wings, 4) an off-white/peach colored single seat space plane with curved wings that go flush into the body, 5) some type of space plane that looked similar to the experimental plane XB70.
There were other vehicles in the set that I can't remember. Some of them shot tiny missles (too small for safety today). I would love to can get me a name of the set or link to a site with pictures of them.
You can try the space toy museum http://www.stanstedtoymuseum.com/h_spacetoys.htm
and just do a google search, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=space+toys+1970+-ebay
