Attention all sections Alpha! 2025 is a momentous year for the 311 men and women of Moonbase Alpha as we prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Space: 1999 this September!

2025 is full of hugely significant anniversaries of many Gerry Anderson worlds, including Thunderbirds, New Captain Scarlet, Space Precinct, and TV Century 21. We're making sure Space: 1999 isn't left behind and we have a slew of upcoming announcements, releases and surprises to celebrate Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's classic 1970s sci-fi adventure drama! 

Space: 1999 Pallet Eagle Collectible – Limited Edition - The Gerry Anderson Store

We're already in the midst of celebrating the series with a growing line of fantastic collectables. The Pallet Eagle Collectable is the latest addition to our regularly sold-out line of limited edition premium die-cast models of classic Gerry Anderson vehicles. Following on from the Eagle Transporter, VIP Eagle and Rescue Eagle, the Pallet Eagle continues the range's superb line-up of collectable models that boast incredible screen accuracy and attention to detail. 

The Eagle: 1976 collectors playset is also still available to pre-order, scheduled to arrive with us by mid 2025. This collaboration between ZICA Toys and Giant Leap Toys is a stunning reinvention of the classic Mattel Eagle One playset from the 1970s. The 36-inch model boasts an intricate design that's faithful to the original toy, opening cockpit and pod and compatible figures. Both the nosecone and the rear engine can detach from the main body to form the smaller Eagle Probe craft.

Hi – Wow! Great additions so far to celebrate 25 years of the best Gerry and Sylvia Anderson series ever! I was wondering about the 4K Breakaway steelbook – will the entire series be released in 4K eventually? Is the 4K remastering being done with AI or is this a proper remastering to 4K? Thank you for all your hard work keeping Space: 1999 alive along with keeping Gerry and Sylvia’s memory and numerous other creations alive!
