Here are some pictures of what sort of cool goodies you can gawk at if you are a ticketed passenger and can make it past security:

Space tanks are also important if one is going to explore space. Not sure how the research into space tanks is going these days.

This is one of my favorite toys. If you look closely, you'll see that the space tank appears to have run over a Space Ape. The tank rolls forward and then every once in a while it rears up to reveal the ape beneath. The tank is called "The Strange Explorer" and it has no patience for Charlton Heston's only natural enemy.

These are Archer's Space People. I couldn't get a good look at all the pieces, but some of the aliens are holding babies and there are robots and everything.

I love this uniform, complete with lightning bolts. I could have been entertained for weeks with this and a large cardboard box to turn into a rocket.

It was really unclear to me why this space helmet went with this record player. It appears it may be a space phonograph or something.

Robots. Everyone loves robots.

On the other hand, we earthlings are not as fond of marauding Martian robots.

If the Martians beat the Hustler, they will drink our insides out like sodas.

I feel cheated by the future. Where is my disintegrator? How can I fight space tyrants without one of these? I have to rely completely on Mr. Hustler. Grrrr.

And what space toy collection is complete without a Dalek?
Is there anything left to see there that you haven't posted? I mean, is there now any real reason to plan a flight through San Fran? I mean... I know "it's different in person" and all... but... wow... how long was your layover?
ReplyDeleteNonsense. This is but one small corner of the show.
