Old Starfleet Wars ad

Surfing the net, I stumbled across this advertisement from this page of the July 1980 issue of Boys Life magazine.  I post it here for historical purposes:
I don't remember for sure, but I probably saw this ad back in the day--I remember seeing this line of minis advertised somewhere.  This particular advertisement appeared in the Gifts & Gimmicks section of the magazine, stacked among all the other junk cool stuff companies were trying to sucker kids into buying:
(Note the Charles Atlas ad at the top of the page.  And no, the knife is not a switchblade, it's a lock blade.)  Ah, nostalgia ...

    Wow, cool find!!
    Alnavco was one of the prime distributers for Superior. They are still in business and are producing/selling the waterline ship models Superior produced/sold. Some of the ships I created for that line are available to purchase still!
    Those masters were machined/carved out of brass.

    Regards,

    Scott

    Scott, thanks for stopping by the dreadnought! Glad to see more of your work is still in production. If you get a chance, I'd like to hear about what you're working on these days.
