[QUOTE="Cymonguk, post: 388652, member: 7330"] I think some of it may just have been that the figures I got on original Palitoy cards were some of the better figures to have (Stormtroopers, OWK, Luke FB, etc). Some of the figures I seem to remember being particularly badly painted/moulded. I haven't seen any difference in the figures I see now, but it really does stand out in my memory. My Mum was always one for a bargain and I remember her getting the last 17 figures for me from my local market, especially Luke Stormie, Luke Endor, 8D8 and the brown robot with opening mouth. For a long time people didn't believe me when I got the Luke Stormtrooper, and we thought it might have been a fake. However I loved it, I will say that I also thought I had a Han Stormtrooper and I know this didn't exist in the 80s! I don't remember having specific packaging, for example which logos were on them, nor am I knocking anybody for loving the Kenner figures, it's just a memory I have of that time period, I am sure a lot of my figures were Kenner figures (I would have been too busy ripping them open like everyone else), but a few of the figures did seem to get bad moulds and paint jobs.
