I've displayed these four sets in the order listed on the back covers (see below), but this is not serial number order! The serials all start with "2126". First up is Sarlacc Pit — 2126/3.

Inside we find the same signed Shalanksy artwork as for the Thomas Salter "Sarlacc Pit" set, although re-edited for the more widescreen format of the PrestoMagiX sets.

The transfer figures are identical to the Salters, but rearranged on the sheet. "APC", which appears as a logo on the sheet, stands for "American Publishing Corp" which is a division of Gillette. You will recall that it was Gillette who effectively persuaded Letraset to purchase the Sodecor factory in Italy, to produce Kalkitos transfer sets for Gillette to distribute; PrestoMagiX was Gillette's domestic US equivalent of Kalkitos.
