As much as we here in the US were spoiled by Marvel back in the 60's and 70's...I'm starting to find things that I wish we had here in the US. About 15 years ago I bought my first Wimpys Restaurant cards from a vendor at a local toy show. Since then I've been obsessed with making as many complete sets as possible just to show fellow collectors here in the US what we never got here in the US. Probably have 4 or 5 complete sets of these cards. Only 20 in the entire set. If I get the chance I will post a scan/pic of the sets. Anyway, about 10 years ago I had the opportunity to get an original poster that was meant to have all of the cards pasted to it by Wimpys. I don't know if it's a grail, but I have hard time finding another in the last 10 years. Here's a pic of the one in my collection. The art on the cards are by original marvel artists as is the poster and amalgam of the cards or stock art. Here is just one of the Marvelmania items we missed out on here in the US...unless there was a Wimpys Restaurant here in the US that I didn't know about:
