Mego Museum Labour Day Vintage Commercial Marathon

This is likely a toy fair reel and not something that saw air time. Sadly the Vulcan Shuttle was not produced, rumours abound but no physical samples have ever surfaced.

Also, what’s with the kid saying “and Officer Ilia” in such a suggestive way?
