This is a page from the Meccano Toys catalog from France showcasing all the new Star Wars stuff for 1979, I love how Blue Snaggletooth and that prototype troop transporter (which looks cooler IMO) snuck in there.

Don't recall seeing that prototype Imperial Troop Transport. This page is just eye candy. Thanks for the smile.

That version of the Transport is the one they talk about in Plastic Galaxy.

Ah, okay. I have to get my copy out again and take a second look. It's been awhile.

There's also a vinyl cape Jawa in there with small eyes (a sign of a later run), which is unusual.

And the Landspeeder looks odd too...along with the non-opening engine compartment (just like the UK version), the chrome parts on the side appear to be not chromed. Unless it's just odd coloring from the printing run.

They should put that troop transport in Rebels as well.
