                           Printed in 1977-78 by Adpac, for General Mills Cereal's.

                           Production for the U.S. & Canada.

         ~1 Sticker Prize per Box~

                 These are oversized Stickers that measure 3 1/4 x 4 1/8.

                   

                 The backs are blank with the color being light brown.

                   

        ~A complete set consists of 16~

               ~  U.S. or  Canadian ~

              This can get confusing, but lets give it a whirl.

 

                    Pictured below are the 4 subsets with U.S. on top & Canadian versions on bottom.

           

          

                Star Wars Adpac Stickers were originally produced in 25 count sheets.

             With some being VERY Short Printed!  

            For the U.S. Production there were 4 Different 25 Count Sheets Produced.

             For the Canadian Production there were 2 Different 25 Count Sheets Produced.

So you can see there are a lot more U.S. Stickers than Canadian.

 

    Canadian --25 count Sheet-- Yellow Purple

8 Different Stickers on same sheet

 

 

Canadian --25 count Sheet-- Orange Green

8 different stickers on same sheet

 

U.S Sheet

4 different stickers on same sheet

 

Will try to find more U.S. Sheet pictures.

As the story goes, the U.S. stickers were produced in different quantity's. Some stickers are much easier to find than others. But for the most part the U.S. set is reasonably obtainable.

 Un-Cut Sheets are always HTF.

As the story goes, the Canadian stickers were produced in much smaller quantity's & print runs. The Orange & Green colored stickers were produced & actually made it into some Cereal Boxes.

Full Sheets & subsets of 8 have surfaced multiple times on ebay.

 

 The Yellow & Purple colored stickers,  had extremely limited insertion if ANY...

The Yellow & Purple Canadian issues are the hardest to obtain & the print run on C3PO & Luke Repairs is only 2 per sheet. Making them the Rarest singles you can obtain!

 

 Back in 2003 bullrock7 was fortunate enough to locate some of these sheets. When they hit ebay it sent a whirl-wind through the community! We had extreme 20+ year SW collectors &  SW website owners going nuts! Basically they were looking at something they had never seen. We sold about 5 full sheets & maybe 12 subsets of 8. After that we packed them up! Since then I have yet to see another seller with these??
