12 for 12. I feel like I should be sitting in my parents’ basement reorganizing my comic book collection.

Oh gawd, another 12 of 12.
I still have the Dinky die-casts of both Space:1999 Eagles. I also built the plastic versions of the Space:1999 Eagle (2 copies) and the Hawk (only seen in one episode).
Other plastic spaceship model kits I built:
ST:TOS Enterprise (2 copies)
ST:TOS Romulan Bird of Prey
ST:TOS Klingon Battlecruiser
ST:TOS Galileo Seven
ST:TOS Enterprise Bridge
ST:TOS Spock fighting a 3 headed lizard
ST:TOS Space Station K-7 with miniature Enterprise
(…anyone see a pattern here?)
Glow in the dark UFO with UFO Scout Ship
BSG Viper
BSG Cylon Fighter
Funny, I never did the Star Wars thing, even though I enjoyed the movies. (Episodes 4 through 6 of course.)
BTW, my Halloween costume is a geek.

12 out of 12. I’m impressed and a little frightened with myself.

12 out of 12 too. I’m just glad I can now proclaim to all that my childhood was indeed NOT WASTED!

10 out of 12, which means I guess I should be pleased. I misse that all-important distinction between the BABYLON 5 phallus and the SPACE 1999 phallus.

12 for 12, I guess I need a life.

11 out of 12… not bad considering the one I got wrong was waaaaay before my time! :)

No Serenity, or space above and beyond? Otherwise good quiz, I am impressed with the Pigs from space.
