    Hello everyone,

    I am in need of some help regarding a playset i used to have when I was little.
    For the life of me I can't remember what it was from, but I do want to get my hands on one again, so here goes nothing..

    Here is a description:

    It was a huge shuttle launch site with a cardboard foldout which would become the baseplate to attach the launch platform etc. on.
    Vehicles with the set were a spaceship, a trackvehicle to put the shuttle on to bring it to the launch site and (if I remember correctly) a little car.
    The figures that came with the set looked a lot like updated versions of the bigger figures that came with the MultiMac sets.
    On top of the launchpad were the electronics/lights/sounds.
    Last thing I can remember is a zipline from the top of the pad to a second building in front of the pad on which the figures were able to swing down.

    Please let me know if anything rings a bell! Pictures and other info more than welcome!! :)

    What color scheme did it have? Did it come with mini-figures? How big were they? Around when do you remember having it?

    the launch rig itself had a blueish tint, I can't remember the colors of the other items.

    The minifigures were comparable to the minifigures that came with the Multimac sets (Link below, yellow fig.)

    Differences to these figures were a more detailed colorscheme and separate movement in arms and legs.

    I bought the set from a friend so I can't really say when he got it exactly. I had it around '96-'97.

    Realistic space shuttle, or something more sci-fi-y?

    not sure what exactly it's from, looks like one of the sci fi sets that Tonka or the like would put out

    Thanks for the link, but not it though. I don´t remember the crawler itself being blue, just the launch structure. Also the set wasn´t that cartoony.

    [Edit]After some more searching I've come up with two more series which resemble the base I'm looking for: MantaForce & Starcom.
