I think so. I certainly remember getting a leaflet with mine and I've never seen a picture of a Palitoy example.

I'm always hoping to hear better evidence than something part-based on my memories of being seven years old, tho!

Allow me to lower the tone of the thread with this old toot.

'Chart Wars' from Ronco - As Seen On TV. I actually remember seeing it on TV and being slightly excited by it, such was my illness for Star Wars. Not excited enough to buy it - I'm not stupid. Well, not until last week anyway!

If anyone has happened upon the advert in amongst off-air recordings online, etc and knows where I can see it, I'd be their best friend.

Oh my god that's so awful I love it! :lol:

Lovely Palitoy mailer, Mark. Would like that one myself and if I'm being choosy, with an address label on it :D

Great Trilogo, Grant. Wonderful ESB colours on a Trilogo card.

Thanks for sharing. As I said on FB, really wish I'd mentioned this album in my book. There was huge spike in interest in Star Wars in Britain 1982 and Chart Wars was part of it. The Lucasfilm marketing reverted back to the Star Wars logo and so did this parody!

That die cast Slave 1 is a bit special.

Got a few pieces from the NEC, too.
Chuffed to find this Leia with original cape. Gave her a quick wash.

My mate got a few nice pieces as well.

Looks like the NEC fair is good for vintage, what are the prices like?

^ NEC is good.
Prices are varied: some bargains, some reasonable, some well over priced.
A lot of traders will do deals and haggling seems the norm.
I got Han and Zuckuss for £7, very good condition.
Ben with slight bubble crush and two small cracks plus Leia card for £40.
Leia Organa a bit dirty, she cleaned up fine, but otherwise excellent for £20.

Leia Hoth Palitoy 45c cardback? Nice! Not seen one of those before :) Looks like you got a good deal with that Ben and her.

Cracking Palitoy 20 back LXW.

Thought the prices weren't too bad... Usual bit few crazy prices... £15 for loose and slightly battered snag no blaster, but some loose figs for 1-4 depending on quality. Some lovely moc items again variety of prices from 30 to 1k (fett) lol all in all well worth a visit

Sounds like a great event.
It's a bit of a trek for me, perhaps I should make the effort.
Thanks guys, some great acquisitions.

I bought mine from Discogs too. I was buying other LPs from a seller and noticed he had that. By 'good condition' he meant that I needed to Ultra-Pritt-Stick the cover back together.

Now, for the love of all mercy, let's not debate on whether to glue up old Ronco compilations! :eek:

Having fallen in love with the Canadian Special Offer exclusives - here's the AT-AT with free AT-AT Driver.

Just need to figure out how to fit it into the current display set up.
