[QUOTE="AndyPreston, post: 452604, member: 8669"] You really can learn something every day in this hobby. I've just picked up the Star Wars issue of Gamester magazine, complete with all the inserts and unused game sheet. It's not dated but the editorial refers to it being a new magazine for the new year, which dates it to January 1978. What's interested me is that I already had a copy of just the game sheet, sealed in cellophane. I couldn't work out why it would have been sealed as I had thought that it was only available as an insert in the magazine. It turns out on talking with a friend that he got his copy in the 70s by saving Green Shield stamps and exchanging them at the local garage. Sure enough on closer inspection the sealed game sheet has a subtle difference, with 'Green Shield' printed at the top above the Gamester logo. I'd speculate that the magazine was so popular that perhaps the game sheet was issued as a separate stand-alone product? Anyway, it's a nice UK item and a new discovery for me at least.
