    Anyone remember these?

    [​IMG]

    Small toys from the late 80's made by Sega
    I'm trying to track down a whole set... but there's no complete reference on exactly how many types were made... and they only infrequently pop up on ebay, so it's pretty tough!
    Best reference on the net so far is here

    Can anyone help me out?

    Thanks! A lot of the credit should go to my friend Tets, who's been conducting all the video reviews for me, but i'm quite happy that i managed to put into words plenty of interesting facts discerned from playtime and packaging etc!

    Had the hovercraft and the rocket launcher. The projectiles were WAY smaller than you could get away with these days!
