My MIB eskimo, Television and Beduins collection

[Luis]

these are the sets from the theme released in the mid 80's (a year before i was born to be more exact ) and discontinued in the early 90's - i've also had the chance to get a hold of some Lyra exclusive and some others only made/sold in Spain around the same dates

i put my avatar next to every set to give an idea of size of box

i'll start from the littliest ones: 3910 and 3911 male and female and eskimos - i still have this beautiful couple in their pristine condition sealed box...the lady still has the plastic wrap

they were both made in Spain:

the images on the back and the sides are the same on both boxes...

[Luis]

now the same gentleman but in a different presentation and with a little fellow (Lyra version) - size of box is a little bigger and box contains arabic lettering on it (a friend assumes this is because of the proximity to Cyprus and the commercial trades between this country and Greece)

[Luis]

different angle and back of box - pictures of dioramas are all the same

You make me wish I still had those sets, Luis!

[Luis]

another Lyra set with the couple and three children! (with so much cold they didn't waste their time )

it would be impossible to ignore the rare set reference with a letter among numbers: 3L72

[Luis]

the couple with sleigh - similar set number (with letter L)

this box has the same picture on both sides

it had this horrible tape when i bought it (when i've seen it on ebay it always comes like this)

[Luis]

a bigger set with the family - and with an igloo! (i think the baby doesn't come in this one? )

[Luis]

this box doesn't have any image on the back - just like some of those old medieval sets:

the original made-in-Germany igloo set
