The first item is a large-scale plastic model kit of Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, manufactured by MPC, a brand of Fundimensions and a division of CPG Products Corp. The box bears a 1979 copyright for Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation. The kit is designed to be an illuminated model measuring over 18 inches in length, requiring two C-size batteries for the internal lighting features.

An original Join the Official Star Wars Fan Club paper insert is included. The second item is a Thing Ding building game, model number 710, manufactured by Schaper.

The game includes a large assortment of interlocking plastic building pieces in green, blue, and orange, an internal cardboard sorting tray with die-cut silhouette shapes, and a paper blueprint instruction sheet detailing six different characters to build: Baby 1, Woman 2, Man 3, Cat 4, Bird 5, and Dog 6.
