Here is a cardboard stand-up Roy of the Rovers figure. Not sure what issue it was given away with but I must have it here. Date on the back says 1986.

Fantastic gifts (some are in my box of free gifts).

Very nice photo of a young L S too.

My brother had a joke biscuit (from Jackpot No.1 in 1979), similar to yours, which shows how the best/popular gifts were re-packaged in later comics.

I shall have to wear some of my old badges out-and-about, and see if anyone gives me any admiring glances.

Great to see the TV Century 21 decoder - I've been waiting since 1965 to see what it looked like. I always saw the red and blue codes at the bottom of the pages and felt excluded not knowing what they said. It was kind of strange seeing a cliffhanger ending (Steve Zodiac hanging from a sprinkler above a laser beam - with the sprinkler giving way) and then seeing this gibberish written underneath. Its stuck with me ever since.
