[QUOTE="Bonsai_Tree_Ent, post: 342134, member: 3845"] I've really no idea why the 'Paligrey' came to market, as it is a strange hybrid of the Palitoy and the Kenner versions. My only thought is that possibly someone felt that simply adding a 'battle damage' sticker sheet to the existing toy wouldn't be exciting or different enough to sell, so the grey plastic, with tinted canopy and black engines was considered a better option? Maybe it was some kind of overstock batch from the US, although it doesn't feature the light at the end of the nose so it would seem to be from a different mold. Whilst not 'rare', certainly it is found in far fewer numbers than the regular white 'battle damage' X-Wing so obviously didn't last too long. I personally think it's a bit of a curio and a really cool item. [/QUOTE]
