Thanks, I expect you’re right, this being the U.K. version.

Sadly in very poor condition but found this in my bulk lots.
No idea why it was a special trial pack.

VP-21 (Inv) Technic Value Pack - TVA-PACK NU 98 (1972, 8020) 2 Sets, 1985 Sets: Technic
Anyone understand the white label stuck to the front, ignore what appears to
be a partially removed Tesco price label.
Sad is not a word I would use as I weep. 100% I'd buy that in a nice box
from you Stuart. I actually remember that being one of several gifts from my
grandmother during secondary school xmas holidays.
I think you will find is was a part of a weird advertising deal kinda deal, which
also had a promo attached to it.
For example I have all the original 6 sets....grandma again I was spoiled by
grandma. I was 9 in 1977. But I vividly remember in those early years as a kid
getting cool posters with "special edition technic sets". Those that
had had no special edition markings were stand alone with no freebies/gwp's.
I also remember and I might be wrong but I am 95% certain they were seasonal
and the first release said "new" on it. Then "special edition"
and then "it was just a box".
I dont believe special edition meant UK or anywhere else for that matter, I think
it referred to what you now know as GWP.
