Whilst out today I saw a van which had this sign on it "Zombie Attack Response Unit". Lets hope we never really need it a la World War Z!
In a heritage shop I thought I was actually about to find a Project SWORD toy on a modern jigsaw by Robert Opie/ Gibsons. Mr. Opie is a packaging and pop culture mega-collector and archivist in the UK and has a museum devoted to packaging for sweets, food and household stuff. It includes toy boxes.
He's also published a series of books on said packagong and it was a picture from his 1960's book he's publsihed as a large jigsaw as well. There are JR21 toys on there - New Flying Saucer and TB5, but alas, no SWORD. Wonder what you had from this lot though?
The specific book this image is taken from, the 1960's Scap Book, does indeed contain piccies of Project SWORD boxes, which makes it sort of unique amongst modern books!
Taken from Opie's 1970's scrap book, this is the 1970's Gibson puzzle in the same series. What did you have from this lot?
