C649
Corgi 649 Space Shuttle. Very near mint/boxed. From The Lancashire Collection.
Notes
Inspired by the James Bond film “Moonraker”, this item was made between 1979-82.
A two piece set, it contains a white Space Shuttle and a separate satellite. Both sit within a large pictorial card stand which slides into the header card window box. A little of the most minor wear only, on the shuttle at exposed edges in a couple of places. Complete bright labels throughout. Banded to the plinth now (originally plastic clips would have secured it in place).
The close to shop-fresh window box has original cellophane (tiniest of punctures) and vivid colours. Not even a crease at header card reverse!
Tiny wear only.
