Hello Everybody,
I am a newbie to the site and have some general questions about original Palitoy (I'm in the UK) figures from 1977 - 1978 which I purchased when I was 9 - 10 years old. My parents had a clear out of some old boxes and came across them from when I was a child.
Apologies if I seem totally new to all of this - it's because I am! I obviously dont want to get ripped off.
I just wondered if they have monetary value and if you can advise me how they can be graded - rough idea of pricing would be great.
My problem is how do I find out how to price them if I am new to all of this? Most of the ads seem to be for unopened or loose items.
Is anyone in the UK or indeed abroad able to give an indication?
All have their original card backing, have been opened (but the bubble plastic is still in place on the card - just opened to get the figure out).
I have one of each of the following:
12A Sand People with weapon
12A Chewbacca with weapon
12A Luke Skywalker with intact light sabre in arm and plastic cloak
12A See Threepio (C-3PO)
12B Death Squad Commander with weapon
also
12A Han Solo missing weapon
12B Stormtrooper missing weapon
12A Darth vader black paint smudges on card and plastic bubble but figure is intact with light sabre in arm and plastic cloak
The light sabres are single piece.

Please let me know if you need to see the figures out of the packaging etc.
Many Thanks
