| Star Wars 21-Back Stormtrooper Sample Card | |
| This is a Star Wars sample card for the Stormtrooper. It\'s a 21 back card no special offer, which makes it a nice example of Star Wars packaging for this particular figure. Sample cards are closer in appearance to regular production figures because of the four rounded corners, but they retain unique characteristics, such as having no hole punch or being slightly thicker than production cards. This particular example does have a hole punch, though. What makes it especially interesting is that no one has yet verified that the Stormtrooper was released on this cardback. Several carded figure collectors (some with literally hundreds of figures) have reported observing no Star Wars 21 back stormtroopers. 20 back examples are numerous, especially with the Bossk offer pasted onto them (this was an offer that extended to the first ESB packaging, which means those 20 backs were sitting around for awhile). This probably means that they made 21 backs in low numbers, if at all due to overstock. If you can confirm it\'s existence, please let me know.
And yes, I realize I just wrote an entire paragraph about a minuscule variation that maybe three people care about, but I just want to find out more :^) |
