Been after this item in Good condition for a while , Reminds me of Christmas in the 80's, Mum and Dad buying a copy of Tv Times and Radio Times for me and my brothers and us circling what to watch, cutting out the best pictures and arguing of course :lol:

Love the TV Times and remember this edition so well as I dreamed of winning the AT-AT in the competition. We used to get the Radio Times and the TV Times every week. Nice score.

Couple more Mocs for the run of one of every character on any cardback

Wow that's a beauty of an AT-ST Driver, I really want one of those. Possibly the best looking POTF cardback.

AT-ST Drivers are usually good. I can never remember if its the Taiwan or HK that have the round cut around coin - they're always the clearer ones. Those with the extended squarer cut are the ones that go piss yellow.

Don't see many round cut though - think I had 3 in the run I had.

Reseal or not, Mark, that's a fine looking instant MOC collection right there.

Dav, that TV Times is awesome. That makes me more nostalgic than anything I've seen for quite sometime. Love the "Channel 4 is coming too"! I take it that was advertising a screening of ANH rather than ESB despite them using ESB art on the cover.

Thanks , I love it too takes me back to the early 80's ! An item I will keep for a long long time. Yes this was Definitely ANH being shown on TV (ITV) for the 1st time. Empire Art as this TV Times was in 1982 and a Jedi coming out a year later.

Your circling of listings inspired me to see what the opposition were showing on 24th October 1982 at 7.15pm

BBC1 showed a film called 'The Night the Bridge Fell Down'.

SublevelStudios - loving the collection of Palitoy items,
where did you manage to source them?

Dublinjeff - great looking poster.

I must say this is a great thread to follow with some
lovely items being added to collections. Keep them coming! :wink:

Wow AT-ST and Lobot MOC are special. :shock:

Currently hunting for cardbacks and here are a few recent acquisitions to share with the forum.

Loose yes, moc no

At last a new addition to my Palitoy MOC 45a tally. It's not perfect (a couple of ink touch ups) but very nice all the same and very tough to get.

That looks fantastic, again, where do you find these gems? :mrgreen:

Cheers guys. It ain't easy finding them, believe me!

Awesome Dengar, Andy A pleasure to even see one. Got to say, ink touch ups don't bother me much at all. I'd take an ink touch up over a creased bubble any day.

Of course, I may be slight biased given that in the early 2000s I may have been responsible for one or two :/ It was a different time!
