1978 Battlestar Toy Raider

[Cylon-Knight]

I have a 1978 Cylon Raider toy... it has had a "full life" of play... ... many epic pretend battles with a viper toy that is long gone. The wings open and have non-removable red missiles

What is left needs "a bath" currently; I thought I'd post a few photos now, and some after cleaning it up.

Replacement sticks are on the market, so maybe replacing them might help out in the value, but the canopy missing is a blow. As for the missiles making them fire is real easy. Just open the bottom panel up, and you will see the easy to remove block that will now let the Cylon Raider fire again.

Here's a link to the article from Dave's great Galactica memorabilia site which tells how to convert the non-firing missiles to firing ones:
