Great buy. I'd have paid a pound whatever the figure. Can't beat the satisfaction of finding it!

I continue to love checking out everyone's new additions to their collections. Great stuff guys!
My latest pickup is an original LP from 1979 produced by Music de Wolfe and is titled Thrust. You might ask me what the heck does this have to do with vintage Star Wars? Well, the album features music composed by the late Jack Trombey. Track #2, titled Fourth Dimension, is arguably the most iconic vintage Kenner Star Wars jingles ever. It was mainly used during the ESB era commercials and some early ROTJ ones. Shortly after, they started using the theme from the movie as the background music. After years of mystery, I was stoked to finally learn of this along with 2 of the other early themes that Kenner used in it's commercials.
I know this is a bit of an "oddball" item, but am excited to add it to my collection for it's link to Kenner history. Here are a couple pics of the album along with a link to the song below the photos.
Here is the link to the track, Fourth Dimension.

Managed to add this to my ESB collection of 41 backs, not as special as some previous posts, but another 41 back ticked off. :wink:
Other than the cut pop the card and bubble are great.
What's the best part, just over £60 posted, really pleased.
I was thinking that the "Star wars is cheap under £50" post could do with a bit of inflation?
Or of course I could always use "Star wars maths" instead and post it there anyway. :lol:

Well I never!!
After posting a few weeks back and chatting to Jez about what other Die Cast Land Speeders I was searching for, something amazing happened. A post popped up on one of the Facebook page advertising for sale a ultra rare Clipper Die Cast Land Speeder with a Meccano import sticker. What!!!
The bubble was fully detached from the card but it was all there. Negotiations began and came to a deal that both of us could be happy with.
Some collectors frown upon reseals but I have no problem with it especially something as rare as this. I have only ever seen a loose card back and one sealed MOC example of this and as of a few months ago had my doubts that they were even legit.
After talking to some collectors and gathering information about the Meccano sticker I am super happy to add what is the rarest production item in my collection.
Need to thank Spoons for tagging me firstly and then helping me value the piece.

It's the go-to thread for all the latest vintage SW tat that this associated bunch of mentalists pick up in between smelling old ladies' pant gussets.
