Found this one in my archives, which I'd forgotten all about. If I understand correctly, it was produced by Pixi in 1995, and only 1,000 sets were made.

The figures seem remarkably detailed, altho I'm not quite sure what happened to La Castafiore. Post weight-loss regime, maybe?

A quick web search is suggesting that these sets are now worth ~£3,000. 😯

Could it be true..?

So yes, it very well could be true

Can you use the V2 as ICBMs or strictly moon travel?

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

ICBM's, but they only fire orthogonally.
