There is a huge point of contention with many of the special offers, being did they come with carded figures or baggies?,for the sake of completeness I will include some offers here where little to nothing is known about them This is an area of baggies which is a little bit of a mystery for some of the released items, many of the Canadian issued items came with MOC's rather than baggies but I am not 100% sure which ones did come with baggies, from my understanding to date only these few Canadian issued SO items have turned up with baggies, but can not be confirmed as having come with them as no sealed examples have been found & opened :eek: to confirm this one way or the other & after so many years it is highly unlikely this will ever happen, so please do not regard everything in this section of the guide as set in stone, rather speculation & assumption, it may simply be a case that some had baggies substituted for the tough to find GDE 12/20 back MOC's, but it is also quite probable that these 3 came with baggies - [SIZE=7][COLOR=#FFFF00]GDE Bi-Logo[/COLOR][/SIZE] These came with all sorts of special offer stickers as you can see below - [ATTACH type="full" alt="SOFRONT_zpsf7bfb808.jpg"]107617[/ATTACH] [SIZE=5][COLOR=#FF0000]Death Star[/COLOR][/SIZE] (cardboard) 2 x stormtroopers, these were GDE carded figures [COLOR=#FFFF00]PHOTO FROM GOOGLE IMAGES [/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full" alt="canada-so-falcon-2_zpsbb52cbb7.jpg"]107618[/ATTACH] [SIZE=5][COLOR=#FF0000]Millenium falcon[/COLOR][/SIZE] with Han solo & Chewbacca, these were GDE carded figures [COLOR=#FFFF00]PHOTO FROM GOOGLE IMAGES[/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full" alt="na_canadian_mib_yoda_offer_unused_c-85_zps88048aea.jpg"]107619[/ATTACH] [SIZE=5][COLOR=#FF0000]Creature Cantina[/COLOR][/SIZE] with Yoda [COLOR=#FFFF00]photo courtesy of the Final Frontier[/COLOR] Normally found with a 20 Back GDE Card, but I have heard of it being found with a baggie - sadly I can not confirm this & it is more likely to have been pickled back together with baggies [ATTACH type="full" alt="ler_canadian_mib_jawa_offer_unused_c-7_zpse9798c22.jpg"]107620[/ATTACH] [SIZE=5][COLOR=#FF0000]Sandcrawler[/COLOR][/SIZE] with 2 Jawas (SW-a) [COLOR=#FFFF00]photo courtesy of the Final Frontier[/COLOR] more commonly found with 2 x GDE 20 back MOC's, now all the GDE experts are adamant this was only ever issued with GDE carded figures & they are more knowledgeable about them than I, but I have now seen 2 examples paired with SW-a jawa baggies & the biggie for me assuming the experts are correct is this - the SW-a jawa baggie is very rare only having ever turned up in the Palitoy land of the jawas set (that we know of) & with that set being difficult & expensive to find, it begs the question of how would 2 separate sets been put back together with these baggies knowing that they are almost as difficult to find as the GDE carded - food for thought & I am not writing off the possibility that these may well have been issued with baggies at some point, possibly due to stock shortfalls ???
