Last year in Japan, this happened. This year I succeeded in finding more.
The above is the full set of the second Bikkuriman Star Wars stickers, this time themed around the prequels. I bought this as a set, rather than a box of wafers, and it wasn’t cheap at ¥4500! As with the original set, the stickers are vibrant, cute and very sparkly:
The backs of the stickers are very similar to the first set including the ‘rumours’:
I dearly wish I had more of these since they’d be wonderful to actually use! Wouldn’t you love this on a postcard:
But my success didn’t stop there, since I also found this lone sealed wafer:
This is a from the third (and final) series of Bikkuriman Star Wars, called ‘Special Edition’. Although the wafer expired 8 years ago, I purchased it (for ¥800, or about $5) just for the sticker. And which one did I get…
Nothing! The pack didn’t have a sticker on it! I’ve opened many dozens of these in the past and this is the first time this has happened. I would have been raging if it wasn’t for the fact that I had also found…
The full set of series three as well! As you can see there’s a lot of variety in this third series, including lots of stickers showing character pairs, vehicles and battles. The set also contains four embossed stickers with a gold foil effect:
As with the previous sets these are all very metallic and sparkly and I would have loved to have extras to put on postcards. In fact I was looking forward to using the one that should have been in the empty wafer!
So now I have the full set of 72 Star Wars Bikkuriman stickers. They’re all sleeved and safe in a special chocolate sticker binder 🙂
But the search is not yet over, since there’s certain other sets of stickers I would still like to complete…
