2020 Quarantine "Oddball/Beyond The Toys" Showcase

1. 1983 "Editions Heritage" Marvel Star Wars #1 - Picked this up myself in Quebec along with the other 10 issues. This series is probably my favorite Vintage Star Wars Canadian paper item, as far as regional variants of this comic go, this one is one of the most visually distinct.

2. Grubee's CocaCola Cup - This Winnipeg restaurant exclusive cup was picked up by a friend who noticed it in a local classified add from it's city of origin. There is also a second cup in the series featuring Vader. The art is the same as that used for the Canadian CocaCola bottle cap promotion.

3. Helix Death Star Pencil Sharpener - I obtained this well-known piece right here on the forum, trading firstjedi an Amanaman for it. Awesome trade!

4. Star Tours Bumper Sticker - Picked this up at a local toy show, just a weird, fun piece with great graphics.

5. Canadian Atari 2600 Star Wars Arcade - This complete version of the 2600 game really appeals to me because of the uniquely styled Star Wars logo on the front of the box. It's probably the worst version of this game.

6. Unused Stock Pencil Toppers - These were part of a well-documented find of hundreds of unused pieces. This fact highlights the sloppy initial paint details. Fun designs clearly based on the figures.

7. Canadian Puffy Stickers Quasi-Prototype Packaging - The back of this sticker pack has a placeholder bar code which says that its a place holder for the final design. Scott Bradley informed me that it might have been part of a 3-pack which had exterior packaging so this bar code wouldn't be an issue.

8. Canadian Presto Magix - Not much to say here, decent examples featuring the Canadian law compliant insert on the back.

James.  I love the Cobot stuff.  Well done my friend.

Dave, that's a great bunch of stuff.  Love the Ontario Place Cinesphere ticket stub.  My family would journey into the city when I was a kid, and go to Ontario Place every summer.  That brings back memories.
How come your childhood R2 cardback was a Palitoy?

A couple more of my favourite items.

The Canadian Coca Cola Match and Win Contest stuff that I have.
