I actually thought a lot of this stuff looked cool to play with, even in 2010. The Wing thing sure looked like an early version of a hang glider. But, HighSchoolHop was right, that Pikemaster Train they barely showed in the commercial was one of their worst.

In three years Gilbert would close their doors. The train set in this commerical was the biggest piece of junk Gilbert made. What difference from days gone by.

I watched this collection of advertising as a bonus feature for a DVD release of Santa Claus conquers the Martians.
