Andy,

As you know, I've used it quite a few times myself already. Thanks for the hard work mate. If it wasn't for the site, I may have accidentally bought a Landspeeder!

Cheers buddy,
Pat

Why have I never seen this before??!! Great job mate, super little web site. I love the die cast ships and an area I wouldn't mind getting back in to.

Thanks Andy - you'll have to start listening to the Vintage Rebellion, a couple of plugs in the podcasts

Really nice site.
it has , unfortunately reignited my yearning for a Tie bomber

Im very pleased to have my first guest article on the website. Justin Lea is a big die cast fan and catalogue collector, and has written a great piece on trade catalogues.

Worth reading if only to see the alternative ESB artwork for the slave 1, snow speeder and cloud car!

You are never to old to learn as the saying goes. I discovered this week that there are two different versions of the TIE fighter. The first version had pegs on the wings, and the latter had pegs on the TIE body. I'd not really looked into variations so this was a real surprise (thanks Justin!) - but something I suspect US collectors would have been aware of for a long time.

I suspect that all the Palitoy TIEs were version 2 so if any of you UK based collectors have found a version one in the UK I'd love to know

Thanks

Here's the first new article in a while. Not strictly die cast but some great insight from Colin Cantwell model maker and concept artist behind many of the ships.

I never knew the Falcon was originally lizard shaped or the Death Star Trench was an accident!
