Lost in Space 1966 Mattel Switch
& Go Playset Missile Rocket ORIGINAL Sears Only
Lost in Space! Anyone over 35 and into science fiction
just has to be familiar with the saga of the Robinson clan (and any
nods to that lost traveler Robinson Caruso were purely intentional!)
setting 'sail' for Jupiter in the then-future 1997! And we don't
know about you, but if we were John Robinson or Major Don West, we
would have driven that HUMAN itty-bitty headed ninny, Dr. Smith out in
the landing vehicle and dropped him off the highest cliff we could

One of the key collectibles to adorn any significant Lost In Space fan, has got to be
the Switch 'N Go Play Set - made by Mattel and available only from
Sears. It can be seen in the 1966 Sears Christmas catalog and was
available for $13.99!:
