If you were a kid in the 60's you watched Lost In Space.  This model is based on the cyclops monster the Robinson family encountered in the episode "There Were Giants in the Earth", which aired in 1965.  Except for the little people running about, this is about the least busy base Aurora put out except for the Frankenstien kit.  I believe that the Polar Lights edition of this kit is the first one available since the 60's, and originals are highly prized.
 
I don't have one.
