Notes

Later issues come to the market-place in the bubble pack style of packaging and then the window box but surely, this 1st issue in the all-card box with lots of colourful illustrations is the most sought-after.
This 1st issue version is presented in the original, bright ‘S.H.A.D.O.’ pictorial card box (wear) with a very fine decorative inner card stand backdrop and additional card piece.

In beautiful and unused very near mint condition – and comes complete with the white and orange firing rocket.
