Star Wars Squared!

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi #3

A Star Wars ad from a Star Wars comic – how perfect! While I wish this was for the regular toys, I guess models are good too – just not something I ever really got into.

I was curious about the breakout in the bottom corner – “A Golden Opportunity Kit” –  so I did a little research on it. Apparently MPC had a program similar to Kool-Aid points where you’d cut out “Golden Opportunity Tokens” from the boxes and then could trade them in for new kits – sounds like a pretty cool deal!

For All Your 8 MM Needs!

Shogun Warriors #7

OK, I know it’s been over half a year since I’ve posted anything – sorry! I’ve had a few scans left over that I’ve been meaning to post, so here you go…

So here we have “Our Best MOVIE PROJECTOR”! And not only that, but it also comes with a screen and 3D “Stereo Specs” for free! I’m curious about how those 3D glasses “worked” – unless something was actually filmed in 3D and you’re using those red/blue glasses, I wouldn’t have high hopes. I’m guessing they were something like X-Ray Spex that just slightly distorted your vision.

Also, they mention both a regular projector and a deluxe model… but never indicate what the difference is… and only have the deluxe model on the order form. So I guess if you’re looking for a budget model, you’re out of luck!
