laurencedyer - Sweet deal on the Star Wars programme, is it the first or second edition? From memory there were 2, i could be talking out of my backside but i think one was a bit more glossy than the other. I now need to go and check lol.

Jez, your correct on the two editions of the Cinema Brochure buddy.
I am not sure which edition it is and couldn't see anything to indicate it was a second issue / reprint so I am thinking it may be a first issue. That said I am totally unsure so if you know how to tell then let me know pal.

Laurence, the rarest (and imho the best!) is the British version. If you bought it off Ebay UK there might be a chance you have this version. Look at the page with all the cast/credits and at the bottom you'll see a reference to ordering more copies. If this is a UK address and the amount is in £ rather than $ then you have the UK version.

I often sell and move my collecting focus but there are very few items I miss, even less I regret getting rid of. My Meccano Kenobi was one of those items, something I never thought I'd own again.......until now that is
This isn't just any old Kenobi to replace mine, this is mine, the very same MOC that has been on holiday for 18 months in a far better collection than mine.
Once again I find myself thanking Max F for allowing me the opportunity to get him back, you're a gent and a scholar. Thanks mate.

Great story Carl and well done Max - very good of you.

I'd have kept it!!!

:twisted:

I assume this is then a reprint / second issue Max as the brochure has both mailing addresses with 75p to pay to the UK mailing address & $1.50 for the US address.
Is this correct buddy?

That is indeed the UK version, sorry I didn't have mine in hand to see that it also mentioned dollars too! Not a second edition or a reprint, that is the bonafide UK version.

Bollocks, of cause it is lol.

So pleased to have picked up this fella; to be honest I never thought I was likely to get one as there aren't too many 45a Palitoy AT-AT Drivers around... He may not be a stunner but I am delighted with him.
