There can't be many of them that survived, and surely none that were actually assembled and flown. I can't find any on eBay or really even YouTube. I would buy one today even if it were one single flight, which is very likely.
I had the SSG, well, I’m sure a generic version of it, but looked like that. Same packaging but without the stickers. Instead, it came with rolls of colored electrical tape for ‘decorating’, aka repairing. Ours actually lasted several years. Flying it was definitely a balance of no wind, don’t throw it too hard but hard enough to glide. The tail would could move into a different position so the slider would perform a loop de loop.
I always enjoyed anything that would fly. Paper airplanes, Vertibird (if that was called flying), water rockets, Nerf air rocket, Nerf glider, balsa wood gliders and rubber band planes, to Estes model rockets.
I also had a number of boomerangs including the Nerf one. Same, no wind, steady hand, and be ready to run after it and hope it didn’t land on the roof or in tar from the hot road. (my Adventure People parachute guy usually fared the same way).
We had one of those giant Styrofoam planes and it was a HUGE hit on our block. Sadly, it also didn't survive, but what a toy!
