In compiling a list of all of the Star Wars toys produced/distributed by Palitoy, I have been unable to determine if the company produced their own packaging for the original white TIE Fighter. The one that I have in my collection is Kenner with a Palitoy sticker. I am aware that Kenner updated the text on Star Wars TIE Fighter box to say 'Imperial TIE Fighter.'

The original TIE Fighter was included in the 1978 and 1981 trade catalogs and also the 1980 toy posters, so has anyone come across a Palitoy branded Star Wars box or a Palitoy stickered box from The Empire Strikes Back?
 
Neither of those exist as far as I'm aware Craig.

The TIE was just sold in the Palitoy stickered Kenner SW box

Second that :)

Only came in the Kenner SW box. Sticker generally found covering the Kenner logo on the right on one side only but I have seen one example with stickers on both sides and two examples with the sticker on the left (so it showed the Palitoy and Kenner logo).
 
Yeh bloody shame that :!: We all just love the X-Wing and Land Speeder art work on the Palitoy Box, Palitoy art for the Tie would have been just superb 8)
 
Just found a photo of mine - definitely a Palitoy sticker covering the Kenner emblem on the front, Kenner is still visible on the side flaps.

That's interesting Mark - I used to own one with leftie stickers on both sides

The other side is at the bottom of the post - wierd uploading thing...

And my current one is a one sided lefty but with what looks like a lost sticker residue on the other side. I'd assumed they all had two stickers
