I have two of these and have decided to part with one of them.

Great display piece for either your kaiju or 8mm collection. Again, the only reason I'm selling it is because I have two. These are also the only ones I've ever seen. This is beyond rare.

It really is cool, I just love the box art.

I looked for almost five years to find one and within one year my friend in Japan found me two. The one I'm keeping is identical but features Destroy All Monsters on the 8mm Cartridge!

Another neat super 8 rarity is something that was once so common. When the original STAR WARS films came out, Kenner released a set of five cartridges and a viewer for STAR WARS. I remember watching it countless times when they had them in town, back in 1977 (or 78), each cartridge was only about 30 seconds or a minute of footage, but hey, it was STAR WARS!!

The funny thing is that when I look at catalogs of Kenner STAR WARS collectibles, these are rarely listed. I wonder how the color held up on those little loops of film?

Hey! Here's one on ebay ...

... but that answers the "color" issue! [Frown]
