Morale Booster

With the help of a friend the Moonbase fleet has recently been boosted by the addition of a new SWORD Booster Rocket. This excellent example originated in Japan and being in tip top shape is ready for space duty immediately. Needless to say Moonbase personnel are suitably chuffed as the long struggle with the Casuals is taking its toll!

Besides the toy's overall mintiness there are two features on the box which caught my eye. First and foremost is the inner packaging, which I haven't seen before. It is a folded end with a key-hole type slot for the neck of the rocket to fit in. Very neat.

The second is an actual Japanese price tag, in Yen, stuck onto the end of the box lid. I've not seen either of these features before, both pictured above.
