P3D Recently noticed lenticulars

[rdi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I recently saw a 3D plus motion lenticular of the Independence Day
video, but it was HUGE- large poster size.  I forgot what he was asking,
but it was well over $100.  

I also recently saw a non-3D flicker card from the recent Flubber
movie.  One flick of the 2-images is a picture of Robin Williams.
The other flick is just printed words.  I think it was $2-3.

I also became aware of a few Star Wars 3D lenticulars which I was 
unaware of until now.  Discussed months ago here in P3D was the
3D WideVision lenticular set from early 1997 of the first Star Wars movie.  I thought
there was supposed to be a follow up "Trilogy" set, but it hasn't materialized
yet.  
But some individual cards have...  I got a 3D plus motion "promo" card 
in a with a $10 magazine- I think it was a 20th Anniversary collectors issue
(all glossy black cover, with big textured Darth helmet head).
The card shows the one of the new computer-added large animals (outside the bar)
rearing up.  It's wide like the other SW lenticulars.  (I don't have it with
me, or I'd give more exact info.)

They are also apparently putting "box topper" promo cards in the tops 
of boxes of WideVision cards (when you open up a box, there's an extra
card sitting there).  The Topps web site says there are three of 
these total, one in "each box of STAR WARS 3-D WIDEVISION"
cards.  The one I got today is card #1- "X-Wings Departing", a very nice
3D view (no motion) of a few ships flying past an elevated 1-person
guard tower over a forest below.  The note on the back says these are
newly-added computer-generated ships.   I got this card for $4,
but I heard they sometimes are more.

Now that I think about it, perhaps the one I got with the magazine
was another of the set of 3 Trilogy promos... hmm, I'll have to check.
As I recall, neither was specifically labeled "promo".

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I also saw another kind of Star Wars 3D
lenticular today.  It was a cartoon (I won't use the word animated or
else we'll confuse things) drawing of Luke and Leia.  His hand
is extended outward in 3D, and behind him is her, and behind her, some other
background stuff (ship, guards?).  L&L are line drawings, in black
and white.  I think the rest of the card was color, though.  The card is 
about twice the size of a normal gum card.  I saw one promo as described,
plus another of the same scene, but had just Luke- it looked like the
previous card, cut in half.  I think just the half-card was $12; I can't
remember what the bigger one was, but it wasn't twice the price.
