Reading the HMRC guidance it appears the 9705 code no longer applies to vintage toys. The description states: Heading 9705 - Collections and collectors' pieces of archaeological, ethnographic, historical, zoological, botanical, mineralogical, anatomical, paleontological or numismatic interest

1985/86 Palitoy 12 back Plastic Cape Jawa. Sadly I choose to buy a Cloth cape Jawa on a tri-logo card.

Thank you all for taking the time to read my post and provide your thoughts. I was initially 98% certain the item was genuine but after being out of the hobby for several years I was concerned that forgeries had advanced to the stage where it was difficult to spot. I am now 100% the item is...

The lack of tape was my main concern and the item doesn’t smell at all. The Toys R us Price sticker looks old and shows the price as $7.97. On the surface it looks genuine but I need expert help from you guys Thanks for all the replies today

Hi Do you have a copy spare to purchase Thanks in advance

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Like you I would expected some tape marks but to my partially trained eye it does look genuine in hand. However, with no tape marks, and how good the box is it does give me some doubt. Any other experts who can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Just purchased this 15” Kenner Darth Vader and although it looks the real deal I am concerned that the box has never been taped. Just got back into the hobby after 3 years following the death of my father and I know they are fake boxes out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated Kind...

Hi Did anyone else experience problems bidding online today? Was a bit of a shambles for me

Great Thread. The first time I saw Star Wars figures was in South Shields Binns department store. A few days later my mam and dad purchased my first figure the Mighty Chewbacca from Farnons in Newcastle. Seems like yesterday and Both stores unfortunately are long gone. Was really disappointed...

Hi I bought them graded and have just checked with UKG who confirmed that both are genuine. I am more curious about the history of the items now and what Lee has informed me has provided peace of mind. Thanks everyone who has taken the time to respond it is greatly appreciated.

Hi Lee Thanks for your expert opinion, it's very re-assuring. Are box flats common and also do you have any history on how they made it onto the market? Thanks

Another concern is that neither end of the box do not appear to have been taped, this applies to both figures.

Many thanks. That's my main concern, I have seen the flap slightly unaligned, not as bad as these but I have never seen the perforation

Hi Stuart All help is appreciated. Many thanks

Hi Thanks for your reply. I have never seen any boxes like these and even though it has been graded by UKG I am still concerned

Just requiring some expert advice on whether or not these Kenner boxes are original. Even though these have been graded by UKG I have never seen boxes like these as the reverse of the flap are not aligned correctly and where the reverse of the box meets the flap seems perforated. Any help...

Hi Anyone know who still stocks these prints

Hi Nick Purchasing the Ben today in person and sharing collecting stories from the 90's was a special way to finish the set. Looking forward to hopefully many future trades with yourself.

Thanks for the compliment Palifan. To be honest I never thought I would achieve it in the timeframe I did. 4 of the figures are ungraded but I am confident they would grade 85 and although I had hoped to obtain all figures graded to 85 I quickly realised this would not be possible. The Palitoy...

After starting my quest to acquire a set of high grade in May 2014, today thanks to Nick (hothrebel) my mission was completed. Before I go any further I just want to say this was my first direct transaction with a forum member and Nick is a great, great bloke. When I started my quest my goal...
