New Commercial View-Master released

[P3D Van Beydler <vbeydler@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone seen the new BUICK CENTURY View-Master commercial package?  I
obtained one today.  It contains a Black View-Master viewer and special
"custom" advertising reel featuring images of the Buick Century.  It comes
in a special box (black cardboard) with  blue spiral artwork on the top and
the words "TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT CENTURY WILL LOOK LIKE TAKE THE POWER OF A
VISIONARY."  Opening the box, you see a small booklet that says "Guide to
the next Century. Part 1".  Under the box lid is a "personalized greeting"
(computer printed insert) of the name of the person the original package was
sent to.  Under the booklet is the black Viewer.  Image #7 indicates that
there are more reels to be coming.  According to the person who I got the
set from, he is expecting to receive TWO MORE REELS to be delivered via
separate mailings.  I tried to get a set directly from BUICK but they had
all been distributed as they told me in the following message:

"We have just received information on our Century Viewmaster promotion. We
made this promotion available to a select number of people. These people
were selected by our marketing firm. Unfortunately, extra inventory of
Veiwmasters was not made and for this reason we can not add people to this
promotion. "

I hope to get the additional two reels but so far, my contact had not
received the other reels.

We might have to track them down on the secondary market.

Thanks to Dr. T for the comments on my VM website.  (Yes, lots of graphics,
sounds, and animation plus a little 3-D at

Also a note to all who might have participated in Dalia's auction this week.
I enjoyed it as always, if you don't get her catalogs, subscribe at her site:
