There was a TV series here called Space 1999 and I have (or rather had, I sold them) some of the models from that.

Here is an example (not mine!).

If it's the right scale, one can be terrain (& supply additional miniatures) for the other.

Can other people provide Rainbow Brite toys to earn major brownie points with your wife?

I had a friend who had the Eagle 1 that Mattel made.  Probably 1979 or '80 I guess.  It was all plastic and eventually fell apart from all the hell we put it through.  Cool toy though.  Toys You Had Presents Space 1999

I myself had a lot of toys that I kept in relatively good condition.  I played with them though.  None of them were still in the box/package and thus weren't all that collectible.  But they weren't missing limbs or torn up and the accessories were all accounted for.  Kenner Star Wars, LJN Dungeons & Dragons and Masters of the Universe when I was growing up through the 70s and 80s.  I got back into buying toys when McFarlane started the Spawn line in the 90s.  Starting Lineup figures were also pretty cool and I had a handful of those.  These all stayed in the packages.  Also picked up quite a few of the new Hasbro Star Wars line until it just got impossible to get all the rarer ones.  I sold most of them eight years ago (kept the original Star Wars figures though) and was surprised just how little I got for most of it with the exception of some of the Spawn figures and a Starting Lineup Michael Jordan.

I thought the Battlestar Galactica toys from the 70s were pretty neat.  The more recent metal diecast ones are pretty nice.  I think of all the toys I had and the only one that I still wish for was the Six Million Dollar Man.

I had the model of the ship - took forever and a day to build that thing with my father (weekends and some nights).
I also had the model of the ship from Disney's The Black Hole.

Right now I have a few Revell Star Wars models still in the box (Star Destroyer partially started).

D&D items (Duh..)
Power Equipment Ball Caps (I'm a small engine mechanic)
Matchbooks

I like to collect things with that sort of business promotional script. Here's one for sale now:

Sounds like a great place to plan a kidnapping.

As long as I'm on the subject of toys, I should point out that this is the only dragon miniature you'll ever need to represent such a creature in the game:
