In-Package "Revenge" Flyer: These small flyers were packaged with some late-issue Empire Strikes Back toys during 1982 to help drum up interest in Kenner's planned line for the third installment of the Trilogy, which at that point had Revenge of the Jedi as a working title. It is double-sided, with the front displaying the new film's logo and announcing its release date of May 25, 1983; and the back giving a quick rundown of what to expect from Kenner in the near future. Most interesting is the blurb regarding the "new toys from the Star Wars Micro Collection." The various playsets that were at that time being developed to expand upon the Micro Collection concept were eventually dropped and no ROTJ Micro sets were actually produced. This is yet another testament to just how close these items came to store shelves.
