History of LPM Black Box Teams
Black Box 2005 Edition
Released October 2005 - Deleted 31st December 2005 |
|
Reference numbers 1-20 produced in the numbered LPM black box using 2003 style figures (including 2 bald and 2 pony tailed figures per team) on two part bases with matching goalkeeper on a black rod. Each team carried a serial number hidden under the inner tray beginning 055 which can be used to trace the original owner. The range was made up of thirteen UK Premiership teams, five German and two Spanish clubs.
Quips and quirks of the 2005 range...
Of the two Chelsea kits produced (reference 1) the 2004/05 version was only painted once and was sold to a collector in Italy. The inclusion of the 04/05 kit came about in the catalogue as some of the 20 teams were painted well in advance and as early as May 2005 - No one bothered to point out that Chelsea may actually change their kit for the new season, so come August, reference number 1 was out of date. As it looked OK as far as the painting went, it seemed a shame to bin it so was added and then 'deleted' from the catalogue as soon as it was sold.... and of course creating an absolute one off rarity in LPM teams for the unsuspecting buyer who just wanted a Chelsea in last years kit! It has to be worth £200 by now!.. or maybe not.
Only one team of each was ever produced in references 7 West Ham and 13 Newcastle United.... if truth be known they both took so long to do and get right I couldn't bear the thought of selling them and having to do another, so never advertised them! The West Ham was signed by the first team players and was given as a corporate gift (picture below) and the Newcastle ended up in the great ebay sell off after the range was deleted in January 2006 |

Several black shorted versions of Manchester United reference 6 were produced and sold, the white shorted version was painted just once and given away in aid of charity, but unboxed, so is officially non existent... if anyone offers you one of these or you see one on ebay claiming to be the 'lost reference 6 white shorted Man United' then believe me, it's a repaint!!!!
Some teams took a few goes to 'get right' and these early efforts plus some others that never made the final 20 but were originally intended for the series (AC Milan, Inter and Fenerbache) were re-based onto anything lying around other than 2003 the bases, mainly Flickmaster bases and re-boxed into the cheaper Subbuteo black boxes and sold on auction. One LPM team incidentally was produced and sold on eBay in error using the 2K4 figure in the LPM numbered box, a Real Madrid reference 20 which went to a collector in Spain. The bulk of the remaining stock not sold or advertised on the site prior to 31.12.05 from the deleted range was sold off on eBay and any profits were donated to the Air Ambulance Service. A small amount of stock was also kept with a view to being offered at a later date to new collectors of LPM teams or offered on the site periodically and sold out during 2007
