Resealed figure discovery debate - G.Kurtz Palitoy VC Jawa.

I did some very non-scientific quick maths.

Top 10 carded figures from "The List" (summed together so I am incorporating both ESB and ROTJ cards)

1 - C3PO
2 - Hoth Stormtrooper
3 - Bossk
4 - Luke Farm
5 - 21B
6 - Han Hoth
7 - Stormtrooper
8 - Boba Fett
9 - Lobot
10 - DSD


Top 10 carded figures SOLD on ebay between 2007 and 2013

1 - Hoth Stormtrooper
2 - C3PO
3 - Chewie
4 - IG88
5 - Walrus Man
6 - Han Hoth
7 - Luke Bespin
8 - Boba Fett
9 - At-at driver
10 - White Bespin Guard

Not sure if that helps really.

As someone who bought from Toni years back,I can also state that he had loads of Palitoy logo 45 back Bespin Guards.He had shitloads of them,and was when Palitoy collecting went crazy,they flew out i beleive.

They are a very common figure in the scheme of things,but i wonder...

Woudn't they have a waffle seal tho? 45a's?

The more i look at the bubble description,the more im thinking that some bubbles were not meant for SW figures at all.It doesnt state they are damaged,so why can only 3 boxes be used?? Perhaps some carded figures made recently have been using the wrong bubbles,therefore creating wrong info.

Jesus christ-this hobby is ****ed!

Well done for finding and posting the list Jason. It certainly looks like this is being wrapped up. It is a long way from over for many but i think there can be little to no doubt that this was taking place for many years.

I stay for the school carol concert and miss all this! Typical.

Why do you say that Jeff?

I guess there is no way of proving its originality - especially online rather than in the flesh

This I did with a couple of documents when I found the company details the other day. This is one of those documents. I believe it signed Arthur Bailey. There are others available if someone wants to buy them to further cross reference.

What have you seen Todd?

Anyone seen what Saber1977 has just listed up

Mr Shifter - Nice work. I'd say that's a match on handwriting - look at the way the 3's and 8's are written.

First thing I checked too Joe, definitely a match imo.

i would agree that this contract has been written by Arthur as if you look at the letters on my list there are so many that are the same or 99% the same

thanks for getting this and putting this up so we can close any dough on the authenticity of this list , it is real and is what it is.

thanks Mr-shifter

Both together

Another couple of documents to look at. When they became secretary and director. One filled in by each I assume.

Lots of letters looking like the are the same across the board - the F stands out

Think this is pretty good proof that the list came from Arthur

Have emailed Toni again with the list/ebay account analysis and asked him to comment.

Watch this space!
