Ex-cellent! I've still got my Mission Control Center and most of the stuff that came with it (lots and lots of thin black plastic tubes with little plugs on the ends, so you could imagine Steve Austin was filling in for Ernestine the Telephone Operator or something). It was an awesome toy, one of my all-time faves when I was a kid, at least until the Kenner Star Wars stuff came along.
Never had the Critical Assignment Arms, though, alas...
I never had the Mission Control Center (d'oh...) but I did have Colonel Austin's "rocket car"/sled vehicle. Man, I wish I still owned that thing. It was one of my favorite toys of all time...
