These tins were also a "UK Tesco exclusive" last year. Benjamin's set list
(below) is correct: 2880 Jeep, 2886 Formula 1, 2849 Gyrocopter and 2884
Ultra-light.
The UK tins have two labels: 1 on the side declaring the ingredients (it's a
requirement here in the UK) and that they were produced by Ripensa of
Denmark; 1 on the lid showing which set is inside. Both labels have UK
reference numbers...

| G'day, Looks like their getting around....We had them in Aus about 1 year ago. They are in a blue 'town-jr' tin, and come with 3 layers of biscuits and 1 set [a white jeep, a black F1, a 'gyrocopter' or an ultra-light, I think] Is this correct? (...) (26 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.general)
