20/10: London at Night Set

At long last the London at Night set is out and it's been worth the wait. It's the first of the high-end collectible sets and is well presented. The 10 pins (all logged in the website inventory) are mounted on a thick card covered in a black felt/velour material and surrounded with a cardboard frame. The whole thing is supported by two cardboard legs attached to the mount by small metal hinges.

The pins and card are enclosed in a black box with pink edges. The whole set measures approximately 41cm x 13.5cm x 1.3cm.

Some months ago, a few of these pins appeared and then disappeared on eBay. They were being offered from China and the background seemed a little hazy! Here's a photograph of what was being offered at the time and it now seems that they were the pins before the 'night-time' sky and stars were added.
