As shown on these instructions issued by Kenner Canada, Canadian's can't spell

Hey Weez hear in Canada cans just speeells finez it's Yuz all that's Cants Mees needs moors beers

I found this on the weekend.  It's from the Canadian 77 backs.  I'm not sure if this is a spelling mistake or just an odd Canadian spelling.  My lovely wife (who is a teacher) agrees that it is a spelling mistake.  I did try to look it up in my dictionary and online. Can anyone else confirm the spelling of Catapult in Canada or is it another case of someone at Kenner Canada with fat fingers when typing?

The French/Canadian spelling is below the image CATAPULTE, so it indeed looks like another error immune English text. Good spot!!

Don't know if this helps.

Been playing with SW my entire life, never ever noticed the reverse of the Falcon had a place to store the hideaway floor

Damn I been playing with that ship for years now..oh wait did I say playing I meant collecting and that is something I never noticed lol

And yes it's a spelling error. That is one of the common misspellings of catapult most pronounce the "A" as in "ALT" not "ULT". And this is from a Newfie no less, My fellow Canadian members and possibly a few more will get that lol

Great job John, I don't think many knew about the floor holder.

lots of great stuff in this old thread but the boosk sit is just awesome x2

First Post on this Forum and I can see I have a lot of reading to do...Thought I'd just add that I had my first droids C3PO and only six months ago did I find that his arms and legs come off!

Not about figs but Something I didn't know until I read the original star wars costumes book, was that child extras were used in the background of the Empire Strikes Back Hoth Hangar to help achieve forced perspective. They are dressed in full rebel gear but for kids.

I btw disagree on Yoda! Of course if your are right handed you have your walking stick in your left hand....so you can do things with your right hand.....am I wrong???

You hold the walking stick on the side of your weakest leg. So Yoda must have a gammy left leg.
