Point of Interest
Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) shipped on all cards from the STAR WARS 12 back to the The Empire Strikes Back 48 back. It overlapped its replacement Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) (with Sensorscope) on The Empire Strikes Back 47 and 48 back card. This figure was included in the Early Bird Set, but made its first carded appearance on the Star Wars 12 back card.
