irish 3 packs,, none the wiser.

Steve, I forgot I had this picture saved, it might shed some more light on the mystery of where these were sold. (or at least if they were sold in larger high street shops)

As far as I know this was a legit piece.

Very nice

The 3 packs were sold in Dunnes Stores in Ireland , North and South of the border , hence the 99p price sticker as this one was sold in Northern Ireland . At this time many retailers bought end of the line toys and sold they as Speical one off deals to drive extra sales . Also at this time Dunnes like many retailers had large toy departments . They were only sold for a short period of time as they were a clearance line . More like the figures were bought straight from the factory and then packaged in Ireland . They are worth serious money now , however very hard if not impossible to verify the actual figures are original to the pack as they only used glue which has dried up in most .
