2020-10-20	Scalecraft product insert posted. First clear evidence of Billy in the UK. Definitely looking for more. For now I'm recording the availability in the UK using the icons on the US sets since my guess so far is that they were identical. Curious about what else was available in the UK. If anyone has any testimonials I can at least flag those sets as available. Thanks again to Bill Bulloch and Paul Vreede for this one!
2020-10-19	1970 catalog images posted courtesy of Bill Bulloch via Paul Vreede. Should be an award for a first sighting because these images yielded the first I've seen of a Space Base display set. Also much better quality images of the 1970 Billy and Robbie displays. And... the page showing the individual Billy and Robbie figures for sale reveal 1970 as the year they were introduced. Thanks Bill and Paul! Great stuff!
