This advert has a lovely illustration featuring the playhouse, space suit and Spacex toy offered in the text. 2/11 (2 shillings 11 pence) is the regular suggested retail price (SRP) for a single Spacex toy on card. This three-column advert is from The Chronicle published 24 0ctober 1969 in Chester by the local branch of Currys, a chain of department stores that still exist today. The same advert was probably run nationwide.
Moores was a department store in Newgate Street in Newcastle. For Xmas 1969 they offered the Spacex Superset 1 for 49/11 (5/1 lower than the SRP of 55/-). This advert is six colums wide and from the Evening Chronicle of 17 December 1969.
Lewis's was a department store in Lamb Street, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. In this half-page advert in the Evening Sentinel of 24 July 1970 they offered Spacex toys at knock-down prices in their stocktaking clearance. Single vehicles on card are almost at half price (1/6 instead of 2/11) while either the Mobile Lauch Platform or Moon Base Headquarters are also almost halved from 14/11 to 7/6 (the SRP allows identifying these toys). The set(s) at £1/15/- knocked down to 15/- (a 57% discount) have an unknown SRP. These might possibly be the later sets combining one large and a number of small toys.
