The Saga Museum Blog!

This will be the first time anyone has attempted to picture all 90+ documented Department Store Multi-Packs from Sears, Montgomery Wards, JC Penney, Alden’s and Spiegel in any publication.

Due to my love for this niche area of collecting Star Wars, we are spending a tremendous amount of time showcasing every known Department Store Multi-Pack in its best light.

With all of the great previous books that have been released on the subject, none have ventured this deep into the Department Store Multi-Packs and we are devoting an entire chapter to them.

I believe that the other publications avoided showing these plain brown box items because of the challenge of making them look colorful and appealing in print. From dark shadows to nasty baggie glare, they just turn out looking awful on the page. Well, here is my personal best attempt. Ouch!

And after many, Many, MANY hours of trial and error photography, we decided to shoot them as separate entities (box, catalog and individual baggies) on a light table. Once we put the pieces back together we came up with this as the final Masterpiece.  

This is one example out of almost 100 of them going into the book from 2-Packs, 3-packs, 4-packs, 5-packs, 7-packs, 8-packs, 9-packs, 10-packs, 12-packs, 14-packs, 15-packs up to this 16-pack.
