Lets get Tupperware to ressurect some Sandtrooper pack items

[thedisturbance]

Hello everybody,

I have a tupperware store near my house. I went there and found the radar dish. Item #801-803. I bought a couple and sent them to my sandtrooper buddies. I spoke to the salesperson and inquired about old tupperware items that are obsolete or discontinued. She told me that tupperware never destroys the molds. That they have tupperware items that they don't sell in the US. Or sometimes items in other countries that they don't sell in the US. I asked why they don't destroy the molds. They told me that tupperware ressurects items sometimes if there is enough demand. I asked her how do they know if there's demand. She said folks will contact them by phone or via the web.

I also discovered that in the tupperware wholesale catalog they have the model numbers for every item even if it's obsolete. If an item is obsolete in the US catalog it might not be in the Mexico Tupperware catalog or the Europe Tupperware catalog. If the item is obsolete in every country then it can still be ressurected if there is enough demand. I ask her how much demand would merrit a ressurection. She said it all depends. Maybe in the 1000. She said you never now. It's hard to tell.

I say we give it a shot. Just spend 5 mins call or e-mail tupperware and ask them to ressurect these items. Don't tell them you're a Star Wars fan. Just say you love said item and wanted to know when they are going to bring them back.

Luke's blue milk cups. 640-7 and 640-8 (They are condiment dispensers. Ketchup and mustard.) We are looking for Opaque versions.

Sandtrooper part 882-2 (This is a Hamurger Form. Someone please post a pic of this on the sandtrooper pack)

Sandtrooper part 754-5 (Dessert Cup)

Sandtrooper radar dish 801-803 (Tupperware currently makes this. It goes on their 2 qt pitcher. The lid is now red. The whole thing is red. Including the actual "dish". We need to get Tupperware to back it in Opaque)

Sandtrooper part (Tupperware Meat Keeper.) I don't have a pic of this either it's a box that goes on the pack. We need the smooth bottom opaque version I think.

If anybody has missing item numbers or pics of items please post in this thread and lets get these items ressurected.

Thanks,

Mark Cheng

Whoa Mark! That's a great idea. Looks like I've got an email to write!

Great research and awsome first post

Why not to write a single request to Tupperware with all our signature?

For me is difficult to know "how to write an official request" to Tupperware, but I'm with you to sign your petition.

If we made it, and we agree to pay a little bit more for each pieces (as for an example: the "radar dish" cost is $15... we can pay it $25 - as for a normal ebay auction), and if there are enought requests... I guess Tupperware cand mold these pieces again.

Maybe this request can be made directly from the 501st, and the pieces would be a "must to have" for every TD on the 501 charter.

However Mark, thanks so much for your research!

Guys, all the items except a smittering of parts is already made. The hamburger storage set is made still but only available as a promotional Item. I can get access to these as I am in cahoots with a local dealer. Also the meat keeper is made as well as the ice cream keeper.

The blue milk containers and cups are what is called a sweet saver and these are no longer made. ebay has them all the time. The idea is nice, but let me do some research with the local dealer and get a price list going for the parts we all need.
