Sweet game and that must add value with that sticker ??


I'm guessing that's where all the value went. It is sealed admittedly, but not sure that would add as much as the sticker

Wow, just the 4 days and there's been loads!
Andy Clarke, very nice Palitoy Imp Commander mate
Hoth Rebel, my good god those are awesome miscards. Loving the Luke and the Tri Logos
Great MOCs RustyRankin, my favorite has to be the AT AT Commander, such a great card
Tronprogram, some more cracking cards dude, how many do you have now?
Grinchy, nice Speeder Bike dude
SOJ, great haul of mini rigs mate, loving the Palitoy PDT-8 and the poster is terrific
Quality Lego and 12 " figures (not dolls) Gary. Edit and that game is so cool
Nice loose figures theforceuk
Cazza, that Leia has serious come to bed and ruin me eyes, love it. Loving the group shot on the stairs.
Cracking R5 Rich, really nice mate
Sweet bargain for the collection NN Poncho mate, congrats
Jedi Mister, dude thats a sweet haul.

Hardly anything for me of late. I blew my wad on a SW 20 bk Palitoy LXW on eBay which i was over the moon to win, but gutted to discover that the bubble was cracked on delivery. I no longer have it as the seller refused to offer a partial refund as he told me it sold to cheaply so the only thing he could do was offer me a full refund. I'm convinced he now plans to sell it at another auction house.
It was a great price uncracked but i couldn't justify keeping it as it was.

I'm so in need of a decent fix, if anyone sees anything i'd like please let me know!

Until then, i'll settle for this lovely guy courtesy of Iain and Neil

Very nice Jez, know how you feel I've had no MOC's for nearly 2 months now. :roll: This thread helps though. :D

Lovely Bossk cardback as well Gorneesh.

Wow, just noticed the Vectis haul, fantastic stuff jedi_master.

Overall I'm quite pleased with the figures as I didn't know fully what to expect. I got condition reports from Kathy at Vectis which gave me some confidence and I'll definitely bid on some again in the future if there are any I'm interested in. Out of all the figures the 2 that I really wanted were the Leia Boushh and Biker Scout and sod's law it was those 2 who showed up that being stuck in a box for 30 years isn't always the best thing with a few minor card imperfections and some spotting.

The card around the bubble on the Leia Boushh gives the impression of a reseal which we obviously know is impossible but it does affect it's display-ability slightly.

Also the bubble has been incorrectly glued leaving an opening at the back of the card.

Still makes it a little more quirky!

Loving the pickups on this page, especially seeing the Vectis lots going to collectors!

Damn shame Jez that the seller wouldn't work with you to compensate for the cracked bubble. If I come across anything I'll PM you.

Gary how do you cope with that dirty Kenner logo on the box, cut it out or duck tape over it please!

Agreed it's great to see so much of the Vectis gear landing in fellow forum member hands, shame most of us are over the hill to resort to prostitution to recoup the costs!

Some amazing additions in the last few days, and really good to see a lot of the Vectis stuff has gone to collectors

I keep seeing things being flipped on eBay for ridiculous prices - sad times

Thanks to FB last month I managed to secure several Lili Ledy instruction leaflets which have helped plug a massive hole in that part of my paperwork focus. Also special thanks to Jason / Mr.Palitoy for the Speeder Bike instructions, I finally managed to find him a trade item he couldn't turn down :)

Imperial Shuttle & Y-Wing Vehicle Instructions (Lili Ledy)

Ewok Assault Catapult, INT-4 & CLM-3 (Lili Ledy) - Cannon Laser Movil, what a cool name!!

Speeder Bike (General Mills) - Alternate leaflet from the Endor Chase Playpack issued in 1984

<a href="http://imgur.com/jJZFvBb"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/jJZFvBb.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> <a href="http://imgur.com/IQ267MF"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/IQ267MF.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> <a href="http://imgur.com/OezXeX3"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/OezXeX3.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>

Note the L365 part number on the front cover and revised copyright notice on the rear. However what surprised me even more when I opened the leaflet for the first time was the reversed artwork on the centre pages, bizarre!!

Speeder Bike (General Mills) - Issued with the Endor Chase Playpack in 1984

Note this leaflet is not the common trilogo version from 1983. Some of the differences include the L365 part number on the front cover and revised copyright notice on the rear. However what surprised me even more when I opened the leaflet for the first time was the reversed artwork on the centre pages, bizarre!!

Original A2 Emperor offer instore poster - absolutely LOVE this item.

DSCN1241.jpg


The striking illustrations for this and others in the same series like the Rancor Keeper offer were done by a chap called Frank Langford. He was a comic artist in the 50's and 60's but was probably better known for his commercial art for advertising and packaging in the 70's and 80's, working on brands like Kellogs and providing art for confectionery and toy packaging. I believe he died in the mid 90's.

Gaaaaa! I'm after an Emperor flyer - I never knew about an in-store poster.

Is it definitely on thirty year old paper, like?
