[QUOTE="darth_daddius, post: 424077, member: 5613"] OK, I promised Australia. This is still missing one key piece - the Star Wars 20 Back, but still, there's enough to enjoy I hope. Star Wars 12 back - the first Toltoys cards had the figures measurements on the Reverse in inches, although Australia changed to metric in 1966. These were possibly the earliest Toltoys release using the Kenner card as a template.
