Can anyone share, or direct me to, some interesting information about the
12 Backs with the Takara sticker on the front?
I picked up a pretty rough R2-D2 MOC at a toy show like 20 years ago, and I haven't found out much about them since then - though to be honest I haven't done much research on them until today.
I had never seen one in person before when I bought it, and I haven't seen too many of them over the years, but then I searched here and found this crazy badass collection from Mark_Yeo:

Mind is blown.
My R2 looks just like the one in Mark's top photo, bottom-left, except mine looks like someone folded the card over twice to stick it in a box or a pocket or something, then did a really good job of flattening it back out straight.
If anyone can direct me to the approximate value
range for each of these, but particularly R2, that would be awesome.
I know they're basically the same as U.S. Kenners, except there's 10, and there's a few variations, but I want to know all I can about these for some reason.
Crazy technical stuff, to personal stories..
What'cha got?
