Ah Haaa! Always something for those in the know! That blue card with the figures and red missiles is actually quite valuable as it is complete! What is it? The accessory pack from the 80s Bandai Godaikin Tetsujin 28 (otherwise known as Gigantor) This toy is considered in some US circles rare and certainly desirable. But not so rare that I don't have one!
Doing a quick Google search brings up this site explaining why our American cousins are so enamoured with this Japanese toy. I should point out in Australia it was a fairly pricey thing and after I'd bought mine at full price, I saw a number remaindered in at least one store. If I'd known how valuable they would become, I could have stocked up!
