Remco produced Hamilton’s Invaders toys and play sets in 1964, trying to cash in on the popularity of the giant insect genre of movies of the time. The large insect toys had pull-string motors that propelled them towards the poor blue plastic soldiers ineffectively armed with bazookas and machine guns. These toys are insanely rare, and finding them in the original packaging would be a life-long pursuit, but you’re in luck, because Hake’s has an amazing assortment of the original play sets up for bid in their current auction.
The opening bids for each of these sets is $200-500, but how many opportunities do you get to own all of these at once? Click on the photos below to go to the auction page for each play set.

Man the hours lost creating scenarios, and playing with these action toys, as a kid! Do they have anything today, that is anywhere near as great as these were?
