This is a reluctant sale of some very cool Star Wars Scalextric Prototype items relating to a 'Battle of Hoth' set that was designed, created, approved and shown at toy fairs, but then never released due to the previous Star Wars Scalextric items not been a big enough success. The set was to be based around Hoff and include 2 snowspeeders.
This group includes a mock up box that was shown at toy fairs, along with a fully approved final sample of the snowspeeder (complete with LFL stamp), a prototype snow effect track section, an early pre production snowspeeder body in black plastic, and an unassembled pre production body with Scalextric marks to base which have a spelling error (instead of Snowspeeder it is marked 'Snowspeeper').
As far as I am aware, the mock up box and track section are unique, the fully finished snowspeeder is one of approximately 4 completed to this stage (but all has different designs) the pre production black bodies there are likely to be be around 20+ of these that exist.
If you want any further details please ask.
I am looking to recover what I paid for this lot a couple of years ago - which is £1,500, so please no silly offers.
Thanks for looking
