Wow, that’s interesting. I saw this advertisement as a very lo-res image last year on Etsy. I then tracked it down to a long defunct British comic, TV Century 21, which featured strip cartoons of Stingray and Thunderbirds etc,,
I posted an image of it on Instagram in March 2021 and both Joey at Brick Trains and Jaabo at BrickTsar managed to buy copies of the original 1965 comic from a U.K. source. Joey then managed to scan the advert and provided me with a hi-res image of it. I printed it out and it now sits proudly framed on a wall in my house.
So, the question is. Did LEGO know this existed before my post? Especially as it was originally placed in the 57 year old magazine by LEGO in Wrexham.
