Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Episode V 1982 Mailaway Display

 

E.S.B. Mailaway Display

 

     On the back of some of the Carded action figures during the vintage era (1979 to 1982) was a offer for the Empire Strikes Back Display which stated:

     "The Display Arena includes four 7" long L - shaped display stands -- each holds 14 Star Wars Action Figures -- plus four backdrops with different photographs from Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back on each side. You can connect the display stands in many different ways to set up your own unique Display arena".

     This particular offer required ten (10) Proof - of - purchase seals that one had to cut off the back of the cards that held the Star Wars Action Figures. This combined with the fact that one could not buy the items in stores makes the Display Arena and uncommon item to obtain. On the front of some Star Wars item was this logo in Yellow and Blue:

     The Display consists of four (4) Beige L shaped interlocking bases. They are very intricate in detail. There are eight (8) interlocking tabs around the sides and fourteen (14) pegs to hold Star Wars Action Figures in place.There are four (4) cardboard backdrops with vertical factory creases which allow them to be wrapped around the corners of the bases. They are double - sided and depict the following scenes from the movies:

  • The Millenium Falcon surrounded by Stormtroopers in the Death Star Docking Bay (ANH)
  • Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Chewbacca in the Trash Compactor of the Death Star (ANH)



 

  • Uncle Owen purchasing droids from the Jawas on the planet Tatooine (ANH)
  • Lando Calrissian greeting Han Solo at the Cloud City of Bespin. (ESB)


 


  • Tie Fighters in pursuit of the Millenium Falcon through the Asteroid Field. (ESB)
  • Snowspeeders attacking AT-AT's on the Ice Planet Hoth (ESB)


  • Jedi Master Yoda on the planet Dagobah. (ESB)
  • Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia with R2-D2 and C-3PO facing a uncertain future as they look out a space window. (ESB)


  •  (ANH) denotes Star Wars, A New Hope, Episode IV
  •  (ESB) denotes Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Episode V

     This Display Arena is trully a item for the serious collector or to just relive one's childhood memory. One can still find this item on ebay. I recently found the four (4) cards for it on one auction for a suprisingly low price of $1.99 and the four L shaped bases on another for under a total of $25.00 which by the way included shipping.  I obtained a very sought out after item right here on ebay for a low total price.

     One rainy day, my little nephew and I tried to see how many combinations that we could come up with by playing around with the L shaped pieces. We threw in the towel and gave up after we came up with 25 possible combinations.  I really enjoy this display for the posibilities with it are endless.
