This bit of nagic gave the show a chance to use dozens of far out monster costumes pushing the series toward a more childish fantasy feel. Many fans mourned the loss of the serious adult Sci-Fi show that had aired during the first year, but a whole new crop of fans began tuning in to see the romance blossoming between Alpha s dashing security officer and the resident alien. The series run is made up of 48 episodes, equally divided over each season. Today reruns of the show can be seen on the Sci-fi channel or purchased on video in limited markets. Space 1999 collectibles are very popular but not extremely high priced.
Most items sell for under a hundred dollars and are still easily accessible.
Since the show was made in England there are additional toys and books that were made for sale only in Europe that have since found their way here. Expect to pay more for English trademarked items. Probably the most sought after toys in the line are recreations of the Eagle spaceships that were used in the series. The best of these is a very accurate metal diecast by Dinky. Complete in it s packaging, this model sells for fifty to sixty dollars.
