[QUOTE="nohandluke, post: 362744, member: 5506"] Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Just some background - We received a letter from a chap (credited at the beginning of the video) who said he had his childhood Palitoy Death Star and he didn't want it to be sold to a stranger, but he had to get rid of it for space purposes. It was in amazing condition with a fair condition box. I told him that the playset is quite valuable. He said he was aware of value, but what he wanted most was a great video made about the playset and RB was his first choice. (I was stunned and so humbled by the gesture.) He *donated* this playset to RB for safekeeping and use in Star Wars-related RB videos and we fully intend to honor his request. As such, Broken Vader insisted this be reviewed by him alone as only a vintage Star Wars toy could express the magnitude of that which is the Palitoy Death Star (so he says). We also received a patient from him - his childhood R2-D2 originally on a Meccano cardback that he still has in his possession. R2 has a broken leg and chrome wear, but we're working to rehabilitate him and return him to his owner. Cheers to everyone at SWFUK - Michael [/QUOTE]
