- IPDB Convertible between add-a-ball and novelty play. Williams Daily Production Logs indicate a 1-player add-a-ball game named 'Tripoli', approved for 30 sample games but none made, was deleted from the Log on May-11-1973, the same day that an approved 30 units of 'Star Action' first appeared on the Log. This may be evidence that the game was renamed, perhaps to avoid confusion with the replay version, Williams' 1973 'Triple Action'. Production Run Records for Star Action: 1155 total Sample run: 30 Production Start Date: Dec-11-1973 / Production End Date: Dec-19-1973 First ship date: Dec-12-1973 / Last ship date: Unknown, but after Dec-21-1973 Production Run: 1125 Production Start Date: Jan-28-1974 / Production End Date: Feb-7-1974 First ship date: Unknown / Last ship date: Unknown Product History Record for Star Action: Quantity produced for USA/Canada: 335* Quantity produced for export: 820* Total quantity produced: 1155* BOM: $244.46 Price to Distributor: $512.50 *These quantities may be sales estimates. used
