I have not - but wondering what, if anything, Unstoppable is doing with this license?
For some reason, the GA license doesn't go too far. Cards, Inc had it and released some sets, but that was about it...too bad as I would assume there's some interest in his many series.
I wonder, though, if GA is like Irwin Allen - his shows are popular but the card sets never seem to get off the ground (in both cases).

There is nothing on Unstoppable's website but I believe that case buyers of The Wicker Man and the upcoming Doctor Who release were/are getting preview sets as part of the case topper package.
Certainly there are quite a few on Ebay.

I picked up the preview set in an auction more than a month ago. It was the same time I got my Wicker Man set so Triple-Frog's report on the case incentive might be the main way they got out. There's several auctions live now -- the My Favorite Martian preview set too.

There is rumour of several Anderson sets coming this year. First up is the Lost Worlds as indicated by the preview set. Possibly a set for the new Thunderbirds are Go series too.
The ad in the newest NSU Magazine, pg 20, had pictures of numerous Gerry Anderson sets such as Stingray; Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett. I would be stoked for these three sets as my whole family loves them.
The guy behind the graphics for Unstoppable was on one of the Anderson page and said early plans were for seperate sets for Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, UFO and Space 1999.
Originally posted by wolfie: I feel as though I am in a time warp with all these Gerry Anderson preview sets being announced, it's Cards inc all over again.
I'm not sure what more can be done with Thunderbirds & Capt Scarlet (also UFO) but I will be interested to see if these come out.
