I only have 2 sets of these Skybusters SB-150 gift set. Collected them because they contained a RR Silver Cloud and a Silver Spirit respectively. These gift sets came in 2 versions. The earlier version stated on the card "A range of 6 different sets to collect from" while the later version omitted the "6".

It was noted 7 sets for the earlier version. The 7th set is same as yours but I can only find a tiny image of it. It must be very rare.

There are 4 sets noted for the later version. Persumably there should be more.

Thanks for this survey. At least the Virgin and Fire sets definitely exist with the "6" printed on the card as well.

The combination with the Alitalia coach is new to me; perhaps this is an error pack as it should have been the Virgin livery.

I have to say I am not aware of SB-150 sets in box packaging. There were boxed sets containing one Skybuster and two Miniatures each, but those were numbered SB-809.

So this come up to at least 8 or 9 different sets for the "6" printed on card. And yes it's indeed SB-809 for the box packaging. Sorry for the confusion.
