My card deck packing looks different from the one linked in the other thread but the cards are the same.

Beverage coasters, front and back.

I also got 2 little jigsaw puzzles, I'm too lazy to puzzle them today but will post them in a few.

I was happily surprised when my "shaw dealer" added them to one of my orders back in the days. I always wondered if Celestial released more of them but was not able to detect any so far. Seems yesasia was selling them at some point https://www.yesasia.com/global/two-shaw-brothers-coasters-chor-yuen-chow-sing-chi/1005144150-0-0-0-en/info.html

Yes, but they are out of stock since I have begun to use Yesasia in 2010, so, I guess that as soon as they released them, they have been bought by fans at once...

There are also some Shaw Brothers' bags shown on yesasia, but I never saw them available either...

Un-released Shaw Brothers action-figure series.

 

Quote

The Shaw Brothers – Fully Articulated 7″ Figures
NECA at one time planned to release a series of figures based on iconic Chinese “Kung Fu” cinema. The Shaw Brothers series would have been based on films such as 36th Chamber of the Shaolin, The 8-Diagram Pole Fighter, and Kid with the Golden Arm and would have included Liy Yu-Te (San Te), Yang #6, and Hai Ta. Sadly, the line never made it to shelves as retailers seemed to lack interest in carrying them.

Hahaha!

That's so true about the tv screens. There are frame thingies one can put them into, so one can put stuff on that frame but it's not the same.

I hope as much as possible will be preserved but reluctantly understand the urgent need of place for construction. The compromise seems to be more than we could have hoped for  some years ago.
