:'( Robert Conrad, best known for his roles in The Wild Wild West and Black Sheep Squadron, has died. He was 84. WOW! Is it me or is a lot people are starting to pass way of late. RIP Mr. Robert Conrad.

Sad day, RIP

Wow, this brings back memories.
I absolutely LOVED watching Black Sheep Squadron reruns in syndication as a kid.
RIP.

RIP to a good actor who played some cool roles. I remember both Wild Wild West and Black Sheep Squadron. A big part of my Saturdays of yore...

The Wild, Wild, West was one of those shows I remember watching with my grandmother when I stayed over for weeks at a time. I think it was the Wild, Wild West followed by Perry Mason. There was one other old show in there, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was. Even remember a couple old episodes of Columbo where Robert Conrad was the perpetrator.

RIP you gave us many hours of enjoyment

I admit I had to look him up at imdb and wikipedia.
But yes, I remember Black Sheep. I liked him there.
And DEZOAT,
you are right. You see, TV started after WWII and now the actors of the first generation of TV reach the age where they leave us.
Some of the actors who played older characters on TV are already dead and slowly the rest will follow. Please remember that Stallone and Schwarzenegger are also beyond retirement age.
And Battletech - I bought the first box with the Davion Warhammer in 1988 I believe. Thats more than 30 years ago.

Hey lets not talk about those old boxes and when we bought them, because that leads to that next horrible question, where did our youth go. :'(

A talented actor; I remember him also from Hawaiian Eye and 77 Sunset Strip reruns. A shame about the things that happened later in his life, but they do, unfortunately, happen.

That wasn't a Davion Warhammer, for the record. It belongs to the Regulan Hussars.

Oh wow, I could really see that.
I mean, maybe not in 2019 but when I think of his playing Pappy & how he looked v/s a 3025 Wolf, I could see that for sure.

I am sorry to disagree.
I looked at my old box. It is the german version of the box produced by Fantasy Productions/Fasa Corporation.
The Insignia at the point between the legs is Crucis Lancers and the left leg is sword and sunburst.
I checked the insignia at sarna.

Where our youth went?
Good question. If you ever find the answer, sent me a PM.

My mistake then. I have never seen it, nor heard of it. I, of course, refer to the standard rendition. If the machine is blue, then the art was originally seen on the cover(s) of the NAIS Fourth Succession War Volumes. Thanks for adding another bit of lore to my personal knowledge bank.
