White die cast Cloud Car Prototype, Toltoys catalogue pics

[BlueDog]

Anyone know anything about this? I've seen the black version of the full sized one but this is the first time I've seen or heard of the white one. This pic comes form a Toltoys catalogue from a recent Ebay listing. Love seeing these prototypes, what could have been and the history behind them. Glad they changed the name from Bi Pod ship to Cloud Card. ( second last pic for the white cloud car )

Here's the rest of the pics from the listing:

This is from another vintage Australian catalogue which shows what appears to be a couple of prototypes, the Luke 12 inch looks different from the production model too.

I love these old catalogues. Someone on here put a pic up of an Argos catalogue recently and it was fantastic. Anymore Ryan??

Looks like the falcon, star destroyer, y-wing, snowspeeder and slave 1 are moch ups/Prototypes as well.

The used the prototype images on the back of the SW die cast packaging - I'd not seen the ESB protos before though, very nice. It's a bit odd why they are all in the same catalogue as the SW ships had been in production a long time before ESB

There was a prototype snow speeder for sale on RS a few weeks ago. Can't find the link yet.

Updated with the rest of the photos from the catalogue.

Interesting to see there are what appears to be a few prototypes amongst them, especially like seeing the figures that appeared on the Palitoy 30 backs.
