Thanks guys, still pinching myself I've actually got it and yes the baggies still being sealed is the coolest part. Opening it ( it was already opened by the way ) I got hit with that familiar smell we all knew as kids when ripping open a MOC so Id say it's been sitting like this for many years. The bloke who sold it was also selling a bunch of other high end toys of which he clearly knew the value so I'm struggling a bit to understand why he had this one so cheap. BIN of $250au - £120 :eek: feel a wee bit guilty but if I didn't grab it someone else surely would've.

More fool him. A solid 5- 10 minute research on google he would of known what he had and could of priced more accordingly like double what you paid. You snooze you loose in this collecting game ive found. Awesome score ryan 8)

Managed to get this! Cloak slight tears (meant decent price) but displays really well

. Pretty hopeful it's the real deal as has the cross hatching on the inside of cape and shiny on the outside. Sounds really weird but I love the smell of it.

Kind of a latest acquisition - had no idea I still had these but delighted to find them 30 odd years later...

Mum, Dad and my tickets from the Star Wars triple bill and a compliment slip with a response to our earlier price enquiry.

Cheers mate, this VCJ was £150! Has tear to cape and had an international listing, you can still get them for a reasonablish price I think if you're happy with one with slight issues.

Those tickets are amazing. £6 though to get into the cinema 30 years ago, blummin London prices!

Bloody hell Jim, did you buy Kenny Baker?

Lom, those stubs are THE BOMB mate, wished I'd kept the ones from when my dad took me and my sister to see Return of the Jedi. Get'em framed up mate!

Seriously looking forward to seeing what's really inside that box though Jim 8)

Awesome combat glider Jeff, not surprised your little one's taken a liking to it.

Very nice VCJ Lom, you gotta be happy with that.

Lom, how cool to find those tickets mate. I only have memories of seeing Jedi in the theatre so getting to see a SW triple with your parents must've been a dream come true as a kid. Nice one.
