Re-posted from 2011
Just occasionally something completely new turns up. Earlier in the year Wotan and Terry Harle found the miniature SWORD spaceships, which were just brilliant.
Well, browsing this Sunday morning, coffee in hand, I stumbled across the Morphy auctions Space sale archive from 2009 and, lo and behold, contained within was this fantastic Flying Space Rocket shop display from Japan complete with SWORDised header card!
Looking at the header a bit closer below we can clearly see Task Force 1 and the Booster Rocket. There's also a rocket powered Gemini for good measure!
I don't recognise the UFO or the trademark. Anyone?
Comparing the header card to the actual SWORD box tops below we can see immediately that the TF1 and Booster Rocket illustrations were lifted wholesale, even down to the SWORD badge on the Booster!
