Notes
Stored away for decades, this Gift Set is part of a startling old shop stock find. Many items have never been opened until now, with some outer boxes in a close to pristine state and others showing some signs of storage wear.
A fine example of this James Bond-related item, inspired by the film ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’, first issued during 1977 (box is dated 1977 on the underside). In unused, virtually mint condition, this box has been opened just once or twice.
The ‘film strip’ header card box is very crisp and bright. The header card has a light crease on the reverse where the header meets the main body of the box. Light storage wear/grubbiness. Original cellophane window has a little ruffling and small puncture.
Tiny tear emanating from an end flap. Full sprue of missiles.
