Laser Rifle:

The laser rifle, what can I say not much. I have never had one. I have never seen it for sale in denmark or heard about it was sold in denmark in the 80s. But after seeing pictures of it on the forum. Then I think kenner did a great job with it.

I hope other forum members have one or more to share in the thread

Never had one either Lars. Would be lovely to get one eventually for my collection, such an iconic weapon

I actually really like the Laser Rifle, but it's a toy I've never owned. Hopefully some other forum members can come to the rescue?

Easily one of my favourite childhood toys. Was visiting my sister down in Edinburgh and saw it in one of the big toy shops. I held on to that thing on the long drive home with a huge smile on my face.
I'd stand at the top of our stairs recreating the detention block rescue.

Many years later I tried to impress my girlfriend (it worked she's my wife ) by gifting it to her younger brother.

A few years ago she tracked one down for an anniversary present. It's just an amazing toy, so detailed, I'll attach a picture of it next to a real Sterling, they got the size just right, definitely one of the best toys they produced. If I'm honest I still shout "get behind me, get behind me" every time I pick it up.
