This is one awesome knock-off playset

That's one cool cardboard base! The bootleg collector in me loves it!

And yes, the bootlegs you've posted pictures of are Polish (3rd Gen to be specific) and Mex/SA.

I dig it, it would be a nice display piece. I wouldn't have dug it as a kid. It's also missing a few other pieces aside from the shuttlepod.

yeah a few paper pieces for inside. i dont know i dug it as a kid. i liked playsets eve if they were just mats. and this was really fun becuase it was a base,rocketship and moonstation. you could do a whole movie and shoot it all on one set

I started looking in my Sears catalogs for this playset and for a couple older figure cases. It also turned up in the 1980 Sears wishlist catalog. In that catalog they put it with the 3-3/4" Mego Buck Rogers figures.

I opened up the page with the Star Fortress and I couldn't quite see the whole page. I'm glad though,because if I saw how cheap the Kraken was going for back then I would probably have an attack of some kind ! That Fortress is pretty cool. I saw a page from an old catalog that had the Mego bridge playset from Star Trek:TMP for like $7.99. I couldn't believe my eyes.
