Star Wars Sears 3-Packs
Several large department stores offered figures in multipacks through their catalog or as part of cardboard playsets. This particular set, with Darth Vader and two Stormtroopers, is marked with a Sears Surplus Store price tag showing "was: $4.88" and the new price of $2.39. It was originally advertised in the 1978 Sears Wishbook, along with other three packs:

Luke Skywalker, Death Squad Commander, Han Solo
Chewbacca, R2D2, C3PO
Jawa, 2 Sandpeople

Two two packs were also advertised:
Snaggletooth and Greedo
Walrusman and Hammerhead

You can see a photo of these packs here. Special thanks to Paul Levesque's Star Wars Toy Resource Page for great information Sears Wishbook ads.
