A couple of times a year I know someone will remember an old helicopter they had back in the '70s/'80s in their collection and want to find it again. It was army green, had a US Army logo and old military star, and a yellow windshield dome. I have one somewhere around here (blades broken, of course.) and will try to take a pic of it. It was probably available way back when at grocery stores when they carried cheap plastic choppers, boats, etc.
Anyway, today at Family Dollar I noticed a giant box set for $10 and one of the two vehicles is the exact plastic copter we're all looking for. So if you remember it and want to relive the old days, get out there and grab one. It's made for 5" figures, but I always stuck Joes inside as a second chopper to the Dragonfly.

I've seen requests in the B/S/T forum on and off for a couple of years. Several usually chime in remembering it once they see a pic of the copter.

I remember that Every few years Family Dollar gets it in for their X-Mas stock (I think they had it two years ago)
Speaking of generic plastic vehicles, if I saw this at a store again, I'd probably buy it: Laser Force |
