I do wonder if that is the only copy that is still factory sealed?
Thanks guys it is a very cool piece of Star Wars history / memorabilia, Dustin's idea of a custom acrylic case is a great idea to preserve the boxed set into the future.
The same thought crossed my mind given there was only 500 and they were distributed to radio stations to promote the movie and were not offered to the public or collectors, I have searched online and found a few that have sold over the years but they seem to be pretty rare items and to find one that is still factory sealed after 43 years you would think is mega rare, it will differently be an item that stays in my collection.
Vintage ESB Promotional Radio Interview Spots LP - SEALED
I recently picked up this awesome still Factory Sealed minty vintage ESB Promotional Radio Interview Spots LP containing pre-fabricated Q&A's with the actors of ESB, the LP allowed Radio Station DJ's to ask questions of Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels (C3PO), David Prowse (Darth Vader), Director Irvin Kershner and Producer Gary Kurtz.
The LP also includes a booklet with cue strips and interview timing sheets.
The LP was only sent to Radio Stations at the time of the film's release, featuring "open-end" interviews with the film's cast and crew on the making of the movie, these interviews were insightful and detailed commentary on the film making process, the "open-end" style interviews allowed the Radio Station DJ to ask questions on air, thus giving the impression that the actors were actually in the studio.
Very very cool and mega rare LP in such condition, which will make an awesome addition to my collection

What an incredibly fascinating piece! Bet actors today would love it if they could go back to making those. Instead of doing days of press junkets, where they're asked the same exact questions over & over again... just make one of those, & send it out.
Thanks buddy I agree and what a great way to keep the actors on message with no bad days and going off message or worse slipping up & letting out some plot secret.
Thank you sir for your kind words, I am trying to expand my OT collection into less common areas & items.
Custom LEGO Millennium Falcon with full Interior
UPDATE 1
I have been making steady progress with my custom LEGO Falcon, as there is no internal technic structure as we see in the UCS Falcon the floor needs to provide all the strength & structural support and given the proposed size & weight which I expect will be around 30" x 23" and 20 to 25lbs I have been working on a number of structural issues including I needed to rebuild the Mandible mount.
I am very happy with the progress on the layout, I have been using the Haynes Millennium Falcon Owner's Workshop Manual Floor Plan as a guide along with reference pics, I think I will be able to include all the major features in the layout.
I wish LEGO was like this when I was a kid, I only had trains that went around in circles, but they were battery powered and very cool in the 60's lol!!

You need to add a banana for scale.
Good idea lol!!
It's going to be approx 30/32" long and 23/24" wide which is very close to the size of the model used for the filming.
Thanks buddy, there sure is plenty of enjoyment seeing the falcon coming together, I wish LEGO was this cool when I was kid...
Lego studs have a defined size+grid so its easy to compare sizes
