Subject: Space1999: Space:1999 Merchandise

Hi folks,

What Space:1999 merchandise would YOU like to see released?

Simple enough question - we've all seen those Dinky Eagles, the most 
popular toy they ever made, the action figures, records, tapes, CDs, 
t-shirts, models... and a whole load of other stuff I don't even know 
about.

Got your list?  Good.  Now tell me.

Yes, that's right.  I want to know what *every member* of this mailing list 
would like to see in the way of Space:1999 merchandise.  I'm not bothered 
about who you are, where you're from, whether you prefer season 1 over 
season 2, or what football team you support: tell me what YOU want to see.

This is a serious thing here - I'm asking this question for a reason, and 
for it to work I need your input.  Still got your list?  Read on...

I'd love it if folks' answers could be a little more specific than 
"Space:1999 videos" where possible -  I'm already helping to campaign for 
that.

Please send me your top 10 merchandise wishes in an e-mail with "1999 Wish 
List" as the subject (so my mail software will put them all in the right 
place) and you'll be helping to get Space:1999 the decent treatment it
deserves.

Do it today!

Kindest regards,

Brian Dowling - Online Alphan #144 - Birmingham, England

Hi Brian, all !

---What i would like to see release and willing to pay a few thousands
     dollars for... is a 44 in. eagle model with all the details on it.

Somebody in Calgary AB. contacted me a month ago, he has in is possession
a complete 44 inches model (built by Martin Bowers), with an extra command
module and transporter pod. He wants me to trade his two extra pieces for
a functionnal commlock, wich i'm building up at this time for the trade.

I have found four 9 inches B&W  security monitors for a cheap price here in MTL.
I'm trying to build my own commpost, i know that never i will have the chance to see
a functionnal commpost on sale somewhere, so i'm building up my own.

---Season two jacket with some patches on it.

---Space 1999 multimedia CD

It was hard for me to keep and conserve all the pictures distributed on the net
for the last three years, i'm sure that somebody, somewhere could put all the
information shown in the Cybrary and the Cyber-Museum on a single 650 Mg CD.

---Moon base alpha model,  6 or 8 feet wide (hmmm!, i'm dreaming probably...).

---And of course, may be in a near future, all 48 episodes on DVD.

Your prayers are answered!

It's available, but expensive. Chris Trice builds custom replicas for
people on a one to one basis. They are NOT kits or assembly line models.
Each one is individually hand made for the customer who orders it. If
I'm not mistaken, he can even replicate closely the paint jobs as seen
in specific parts of the series (the thirty-five pound models were
painted several times throughout the series and depending on the artist
who did it, or how rushed they were, the paint jobs varied on the models
from time to time).  Email Chris to find out more. 

I have personally seen one of his Eagle replicas and can tell you they
are absolutely one thousand percent accurate, except they are built to a
much, much higher standard than the originals (which I also saw in
person) and he uses the exact same building techniques and materials as
the originals. You have to see one to believe it! His work is nothing
short of astounding!!!! No one could do a better job than Chris!

Anyone who wants a couple of pictures of one of his models unfinished,
email me and I'll send them to you. Also, if the section is back on
line, you can see pictures of his unfinished replicas at the Cybrary!
It's cool to see the Eagles without their paint jobs!!!

Chris's email is...

> ---Space 1999 multimedia CD

Funny you should mention that! I made an Enhanced CD as a school project
when I took my multimedia course at Mckenzie College in Sydney N.S. last
year! Has music from both seasons on it plus an enhanced section that
has sound clips, pictures and information about the show. It was made
using Macromedia Director 5. It's not perfect but got me a decent mark.
I'd have done a bit better job if I'd had the time, but it was kinda fun
nontheless.

L8er!

I really didn't think there was anything I particularly wanted, but it
would be neat to have one of the blue quilted jackets with all the
patches.  I also always wanted to try making one of the space suits.  It
would be neat to have one of those too.

Hi all!

Greetings from the Alpha spacecraft rejuvination section! :):)

My wish is guaranteed to be the weirdest of everyone's, and probably the
one least likely to be realized!

As someone who over the next few years wishes to build very accurate
replicas of all the "Earth type" spacecraft models seen in the show (I'm
working on a Hawk, a 22" Eagle, and the space station seen in
"Breakaway" and "Dragon's Domain" and currently researching the
Metaprobe, I would like to see all the hard to find (if not impossible!)
model kits that were once available in the early seventies that were
uised by the modelmakers to kitbash all the detailing on these models!
Some of the kits necessary are nearly impossible to find, or are
extremely expensive due to their collector status!

Told ya it was a weird request!

Actually I would like to see Airfix or better yet Tamiya (known for
extremely accurate and detailed kits!) release a very ACCURATE kit of
the Eagle about fifteen inches long!!! Then have the Swift, Superswift
and Hawk released to the same scale! THAT would be coooooooollll!!!!!!

Well, you did ask! I WANT ACCURATE MODELS!!! :):):):)

I really like the idea another list member said (sorry I forget who it
was so I can't give credit, my apologies to the list member in
question!) about the commlock that could be made into a remote control
for a TV or garage door opener and so on! THAT would be WAY COOL! With
today's LCD technology it should be possible to make a TV set from one!
I'd buy one! Anybody on the list an electronics wiz who could pull this
off? If so, we must talk!

L8er!

Hi Jim,

That was me.  And yes its more than possible. If I had the time, I surely
have the skills. Just not the time :-(  Yeah, the garage door thing would
be kick ass....then you could also incorporate the Car's own remote lock
and alarm remote as well.  

And yes I WANT AN ACCURATE EAGLE TOO :-)

Hmmmm......

I like the idea of the jacket. Something in a 2XL for yours truly's frame,
however.

A fully functional Eagle.  I hate traffic, and it would be interesting to
buzz the news choppers checking out the freeways.

(oh, sorry, that the Fantasy list....)

The commlock combinations would be nice. Something that would give it just
the right functionality for the weight.  A good heft to it.

I'll think on it.....

Hi all;

	Well a wish list of mine would have to include all of the earth type
spacecraft just like James Small wants but only in a smaller scale..Now
that would be great, waite I'm sorry I am getting that now...opps
(Thanks James). How about 2hrs in a locked room with Maya! But seriosly
I'd love to just site and talk to Cmdr Koenig on to one for about an
hour. And before you say it I do mean the Character not Mr Landau, he'ed
be filling the next hour or so.

One thing that would be nice to have would be the 24/48 original scripts
released as a book of some sorts.  The 44 original scripts for the MONTY
PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS series was released in paperback (two volumes) some ten
years ago and is still selling well it seems, at least in Norway.  It would be
tremendous if something similar could be done with the SPACE:1999 scripts.

From: "Shon R. Edwards" (sredwards@juno4tag.com)

I guess my wish list is pretty simple as far as Space: 1999 goes.
I'd really like to have DVDs of all my favorites, especially 2nd season.

If there were another part of my wish list, it would be that I hadn't
lost all the stuff I had when I was a kid.  We moved from Illinois to 
Utah when I was about 12, and a lot of my stuff didn't make it out
here.  Among the lost items:

eagle model kits
3-ft long eagle
Alpha model
2 commlock walkie talkies
laser squirt gun
battery operated laser
posters
2nd year uniform that I made myself

I am fortunate, however, to have what I do have, namely my books:
Making of Space:  1999, The Space-Jackers, the Psychomorph, 
The Android Planet, first few Starlogs mentioning Space: 1999.
None of them are in the greatest of condition, but at least I've 
really been able to enjoy them over the years.
