[QUOTE="x-pack, post: 383236, member: 4360"] My dad had carboot sales on his pub car park in the 80's and I remember dealers with boxes full of crappy Jedi figures for 50p each. That would have been 1986ish, during the short period in which I didn't think Star Wars was cool anymore :oops: Because I saw this kind of thing first hand, and then a few years later saw the stock in clearance shops, the abundance of Jedi figures has never really surprised me. What does though is the number of mint Empire and ANH MOCs. These are much older toys that would have had to make way for each new line as it came out. What happened to the unsold old stock? Were they reduced to clear, sold to dealers, left languishing in the store or sent back to Palitoy/Kenner as a sale or return deal ? Does anyone remember if ANH or Empire toys were still for sale alongside Jedi logo'd items ? [/QUOTE]
