I agree, lots of nice in depth info in the book. The recommendation is to go for the 2nd Ed. as this has better (professional) photos. The other plus is that it's pretty cheap as far as books go, definitely worth a look (though in my case you'll then get to look at all the vehicles/playsets you missed out on as a kid and start wanting them.....
)
On to other random things, and not quite sure how I got here - probably was looking at an old custom of SE v5 (i.e. Ninja Force) and decided to re-read some of the comics. I see that in Marvel ARAH #138 (Unfoldings) SE, SS, Destro and the Baroness make their escape from the top of Destro's Trans-carpathian castle using a Fulton/STAR rig. But it's called a STABO rig in the comic, which is a different type of extraction device designed for helicopters and jungle canopies (and this caused me some significant confusion at the time trying to work out whether the depicted contraption really existed at all using the material of the day - i.e. paper books!).
Probably not much to say about this, other than that the two rigs are obviously rather different, so Hama made a mistake in his naming, but it is far easier these days to look up what a STABO or a Fulton rig is, so for Hama back in '93 I can understand that it might well be easy to get wrong.
Not much discussion I'm afraid, just something I remembered spotting as a kid and thought I'd share
