Some great buys as always everyone!
I had this arrive today which I've got a little history with. I've always wanted one since finding him on the archive several years ago. That exact one, turned up for sale exactly a year ago, but I wasn't in a position to stomach the price. It then ended up that Blarc bought it and had it graded shortly after. It was then sold to another collector who offered me first right of refusal when he sold it. That time came up and with knowing what he paid for it and what he was asking, I decided to pass again as it wasn't quite worth that much to me. The new owner ended up with it from a trade with that previous collector and offered it for sale. I kept an eye on it over the last few months as the price continued to drop. It finally went down to what I was willing to pay and I snatched it up. This figure has travelled twice in the U.S. and Australia in the last year and I'm happy to have him locked up with me now. Sorry to waffle on so much about him, but he's certainly a highlight to my collection.
So here he is, Palitoy Luke Jedi baggie on a Trilogo Ben cardback with miscard bubble.

That card is famous mate, I was directed from here and read a 'war and peace' thread about it. Probably because it was also about Blarc.
Congrats though mate- that's one of a kind. 8)

Haven't posted on here in a while.....Picked this up today, Original 1977, 'Adventures of R2D2' SW Board game, Palitoy Edition. Its Unused, the board is mint, it even has the original paper still in it to protect the board..... The R2D2 Player tokens are still Unpunched from their card and the printed card with the rules on it is still nice and clean. I am led to believe that this is 'harder' to pick up then the Kenner Edition, stand corrected on that :? Love the funky colours and the 'Palitoy' Logo looks sweeeet....its still sealed on one side......

Sorry about that. My website has been doing something weird the last couple of days. I've just added the pic as an attachment, so it should always be there until I get it sorted.

At last (and massive thanks to Ryan) these bad boys turned up - well chuffed as there were some hard to find cards in amongst this little lot
The Trilogo Luke is a beauty and is packaged with the wrong sabre - only same is the bubble is so tight that it has started to lift
