Well it's been a long time coming & something I thought would never happen, but the final 2 missing packs for the SW era period have both been found & added to the pages of the baggie guide.
I was contacted regarding my opinions of a MP found in Canada via a craigslist advert back in 2016 (Sears - 1979 - 49-59459 Darth Vader Stormtroopers x 3 - 4 pack), found with a random sellection of old toys which also included a fett/luke X wing 2 pack, this pack had never been seen before & ended up in the hands of a private collector who does not use social media of the forums, thankfully after spending some time chatting with them, they were happy for some images to be provided for the guide & the community, now the pack came with loose figures with weapons taped to them, something I figured was likely done after the fact & the baggies had long since been opened & lost, but then another collector contacted me with the other pack missing from the guide (Sears/Aldens - 1979-80 - 49-59461 - 85Y8410 Jawa's X 3 Tusken Raider - 4 Pack) & it looks to have come the same way (weapons taped to loose figures), this does not 100% proove this is how they came, but it certainly adds weigth the the possibility as, as it's speculated kenner issued some packs without baggies in the period where the chocking hazzard came to light (child sadly died on a missile from a BSG toy) & why we all know the fett never came with a firing rocket.
I've sadly not been active on the forum as I should be, but am still always working in the background adding to & making amandments to the guides.
I figured this was certainly worthy of popping a post up & of interest to some of you who may well not look at the guide.
We are now down to only a few missing packs from the ESB era & 5 missing from the ROTJ era, sadly the jedi era packs will likely never be found, but there's always hope, more so considering the above 2 recent additions we also suspected would never been found, as far as I am aware these 2 are the only worlds examples, though who knows whats still out their lurking in lofts & storage units etc.
I'm including the below list of the other packs still missing from the guide in hopes someone may have one or knows of someone who may have, as it would be nice to see all the gaps filled -
ESB Era Packs -
Spiegel -1980 - 57-4870 - R2, 3p0, Han (Big Head), Chewie 4 Pack
Wards/Penney/Aldens - 1981 - 48-24545 -929-4877 - 85Y8370 - Darth, Fett, Hoth Troopers X 2. - 4 Pack

ROTJera packs -
4 of the 5 ROTJera line art packs
Penney – 1985 -655-7128 - Warok/Romba/Wicket/Logrey – 4 Pack
& obviously after all that waffles you'd like to see the packs in question which I'm including, but as said can be found on the comprehensive guide (page 5 section 96)
Things are still turning up even now, just last year I was also able to finally add the 14 pack that had never been seen when not 1 not 2 but 3 examples were found in a single find back in 2022 -
Sears - 1981 - 49-59182 Darth Vader, Yoda, Chewie, Ben Kenobi, 3p0, R2, Luke farmboy, FX-7, Tusken Raider, Jawa, Hoth Stormtrooper, death Squad Commander, Greedo, Hammerhead. 14 Pack
