This is one of the rarest Imperial items and is normally only seen in the Imperial collection catalogue. Two boxed variation packaging French-Canadian Popups/Sauteurs, Mona Loser & Blasted Billy, owned by Imperial collector Ben Harter!!! Coolest GPK box ever! They basically took all of the images from the Popups on card and condensed them to fit all 6 sides of the boxed variation packaging. More pics here: gpkworld.com/GPKImperial.htm

I noticed a discrepancy between Robert Nucleaire's nameplate and the way it is written on the checklist for 8a. Check out Robert Nucleaire on the nameplate here: Now check out how it's spelled on the checklist for 8a. It's missing the accent mark on the รฉ : Are all the test sets like this with special characters? I haven't checked the other Belgians yet that have accent marks.

I have South African released cards from my childhood that are in awful condition but I gotta tell you I think they were just Uk cards distributed in RSA as there is absolutely no difference between the two. I guess I could dig em out and try comparing them again and see if I spot something... :-) That's awesome. Would love to see them to compare to GPKtildeath's. Hopefully u have that same checklist card, and a wrapper :-)

Cory has been searching for the final of this piece for years to no avail... Ouch! This card is reminiscent of that nightmarish scene in "There's Something About Mary". "How'd you get the beans above the frank!" "What's that BUBBLE there?"

Sgorbions 3rd Series Back Variation advertising/showing the never seen before or pretty rare SG3 super pack of 15 cards.ย Picked up an SG3 lot recently and found an ad for the Sgorbions T-Shirts on the back of one of them. Not as cool as the SG3 superbusta pack but interesting back variation nonetheless:

Regarding US GPK rarities, this is probably one of the rarest items and it is from the Imperial collection. Behold! Two boxed French-Canadian Popups/Sauteurs, Mona Loser & Blasted Billy, owned by Imperial collector Ben Harter: Coolest GPK box ever!

I just finished a binge of Strangers aswell, loved the 80's movie feel like all the refs you mentioned. Made me wanna grab my mates and go on my old BMX adventures again! like the awfully great BMX Bandits film I don't remember BMX Bandits! Must watch soon :-) So now that lots of people up here have seen Stranger Things I'd love to hear your theories on Eleven, the Flea, the Sheriff and his daughter, what happened to Barbara, etc. Spoiler Alert!!!! ----------------------------- Anybody notice anything strange at the end when Eleven has the flea pinned against the chalkboard? ๐ฎ Is the sherriff's daughter "Ten" or a previous subject, still out there in the upside down? She didn't have the same telekinetic capabilities as Eleven for the mind experiments so she got sick. Remember her stuffed tiger in the upside-down? Maybe planted there by the men-in-black, maybe not. Either way, as a father the sheriff is determined to find his daughter. Does Barbara turn into the Alien pod at the end, thus spawning a new Flea? And that's why females are used as nests, and the boys are used to spread the worms back into their own reality. Will spit the worm into the drain. Pretty soon the whole town will be acrobat/flea hybrids!! ๐ฆ Would love to hear your thoughts ๐

Found this while moving stuff around. I use the 5x7 toploaders to safely stack display boxes. Not a rare release but the ones with the "omaggio" stamp on the back don't appear too often. Italy Mega Sgorbions Series 2 empty wrapper "omaggio" variation.

Yeah i think thats a australian box or it came from a case where he opened a box from and it had nz packs. But no i was talking about another one but looks like its no longer listed. It was on ebay for months. It was an open box so you could see the new zealand packs in side but had no 40c print on it. Here's a comparison shot of the Australia vs. New Zealand display boxes. AUS on top, NZ on bottom. Totally different text on each box! So if that was a NZ box of packs maybe they just forgot to stamp it with 40c. Would be awesome to know that the cards u pulled were from a NZ box. You could then have the common AUS3 set and more rare NZ3 set, although the cards would look identical heh

Nice new pick ups. I saw a full box of new zealand series 3 on ebay. But the box dident have the 40c print in the white circle. But it was legit. so maybe some still sealed boxes that you think are australian could be filled with new zealand packs. Is this the one? www.ebay.com/itm/131919589124The Garbage Gang New Zealand Australia Foreign Regina Sealed Box 48ct 1988 I kept seeing that box listed on SpreeBay but assumed it was an AUS3 box instead since it didn't have the "40c" print like u mentioned. I think they all say "Product of New Zealand" on the bottom, but to be sure I can take a pic of both the AUS3/NZ3 box bottoms next to each other after work. :-)
