[QUOTE="palitoyjunky, post: 388649, member: 1828"] Rem that auction well and saw all 20 Mocs on display at my local Cheshunt toy fair which was run by Joiner. I got outbid on the Hammerhead think my bid was £120 and it went for £180. The Luke went for £2200/2300 and this auction was in around 2000 :!: I like the way u put that the packaging was just an obstacle between us as kids and the toy because that is exactly what it was :D I don't rem the Palitoy logo as a kid as my era was late Empire onwards but I rem the Kenner logo well. If anything Kenner packaging was more sophisticated and certainly more accurate than Palitoy and what with Kenner being the original toy company and Palitoy buying a licence it makes sense :!: When I talk about accuracy I mean for example one can find figures in Palitoy packaging where a picture of the packaged figure cannot b found on the back of the card ie all Palitoy 30 back 2nd series Empire figures or some of the debut 45a Mocs. And when I say sophisticated I mean things like having a proof of purchase badge in the packaging as opposed to just cutting out a name plate so it always seemed Palitoy were saving money :!: However many argue that some Palitoy packaging is far more beautiful and creative than its Kenner equivalent ie SW X-Wing, Land Speeder and Death Star and I agree with that totally. Also the red/blue Palitoy logo is a stroke of genius and far more beautiful and addictive than the Kenner logo 8) [/QUOTE]
