Habib Restaurant - Brazil - Promo Cards (2002)

Somehow it seems there is always a new card set turning up where you least expect it. Would you have thought restaurant patrons in Brazil would be getting their own cards to collect? It would seem Star Wars cards can be used to promote almost anything. Habib's restaurants in Brazil are using a small set of large cards to encourage return visits.

This set of 8 Episode II cards could be found at Habib's, a restaurant chain in Brazil. Their premiums included 4 different plastic masks for kids (Vader, Yoda, clone trooper, Jango) and four different clear packs with the cards, which measure 3 1/8 by 4 11/16. Cards are glossy, almost waxy feeling. They are not numbered. Each pack with two cards also came with one of three different "memory games" consisting of a card 6 1/4 by 8 3/16. The memory game cards have small pictures (2 each) of Ep II characters; the cards are perforated, and you turn them over, mix them up, and try to remember where two of the same characters are. Great fun for kids!

Special thanks to Steve for the information on this page, and for finding another set I need to hunt down!
