Ouch.  That's just not cool.  I guess it's tough for us to know whether he bought that item from someone else and didn't know it's history, or if he manipulated it himself.  Hopefully, it's the former, I'd hate to see a fellow Canuck screwing others over.  (Yeah, maybe I'm a little naive...)

Unfortunately, the seller knew very well what he was selling. I had spoken with him about this before, and I also e-mailed him while the auction was still ongoing to encourage him to update the description to reflect the fact that the figures being sold with the set did not originally come with the set.

These 1982 Sears Canada 3-Packs *only* came in 2 different sets (shown below):

Ok, sorry, but after snowtroopers I had to do that.   Sweet stuff there, thanks for sharing.

Ha!

Unfortunately, Snowtroopers isn't the most vintage-centric site around.

Thanks for the kind words.

First off, a VERY Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canucks!

Secondly, the Canadian Star Wars Gallery turns five today, and to celebrate, I have updated the site with the ultra-rare Simpsons ESB 3-Pack sets that were sold exclusively at Simpsons department stores in 1981.

These sets are virtually unknown in the Star Wars collecting world.

Click on the following link:  http://www.ncf.ca/~cn333/starwars.htm  and scroll down to the "Updated" area. There you'll find the link to the Simpsons ESB 3-Pack sets. If you have visited the site recently, you may need to refresh the page(s).

Enjoy, and have a safe & happy Canada Day!
