Like many my first Eagle Transporter was a 1974 Dinky Toy released by Meccano Ltd. I do show this later on in my detailed video review only to show just how good this 12" collectable model is when compared to the 9" toy of old.
This set 'BREAKAWAY PART 2' includes:
* EAGLE TRANSPORTER WITH DETACHABLE VIP POD
* VIP PASSENGER POD
* MACHINE TURNED AND HAND FINISHED ALUMINIUM ENGINE BELLS
* LASER TANK FEATURING BUBBLE DOME AND ACTION TURRET
* ALPHA MOON BUGGY
* LAUNCH PLATFORM DISPLAY BASE
This is just one out of a range from the DELUXE DIE CAST COLLECTION released by Sixteen 12 Ltd.
Each set is a limited run with only 1000 UNITS ONLY WORLDWIDE. Some are still available, many are not. However new ones still being released as I post this video May 2020.

This Eagle Transporter configuration is as featured in the first episode of the cult classic British TV Show Space: 1999 another amazing Gerry Anderson production.
