Palitoy 'Special Offer' Cantina - UKG 80

[Palitoyman]

Forgot to put this on yesterday, one of a kind, the only graded example of the 'Special Offer' Cantina, all four carded MOC Cantina figures inside, brand new/Unused.

There was a question on the vintage chat a few weeks ago about which would be our holy grail.
There were some great answers and reasoning but for me this set has always been one of my Holy Grails.
Stunning item Richard.

Btw, would the four figures be in baggies rather than on card?
Do any special sets that ever came out ever have the included figures on cards?
Don't know why but I always presumed this to be the case when I was younger.

Hi, thanks for the comment PulsarP, the four figures are on cards and are mint, the reason I know is that the seal broke at one end and so had a look, like you say, this has to go down as a grail piece, I'm still looking for a 'normal' palitoy sealed cantina, iconic playset in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing Richard.

So that's where "Green Greedo" comes from ...

Love this piece. Really spectacular. There's something exceptionally nostalgic about the colours of the packaging of the cantina and the cantina crew.

I would be tempted to open it to get to the 4 carded figures

It is indeed, well this and the UK marvel comics ads but mainly the Palitoy catalogue.
It stuck with me so much as a kid I made it my eBay username in 2000 :wink:

Never seen this. That's a bit of Star Wars toy history right there. Love the box art/photography. Awesome piece

Proper nice to have a one of a kind. I'm sure that alone is anyone's holy grail.

I just have one side question - is that kid wearing mascara? :shock:

 

[Bunglebubs]

That is a very nice set.

I have just one question too, what is mascara?

Fantastic item, a real grail piece, but for me personally it's a shame it's now locked away behind plastic.

PulsarP asked about boxed items coming with carded figures, I have the Ewok Combat Trilogo Playpack with 4 carded figures, all of them folded in half to fit in the box!

 

[Bonsai_Tree_Ent]

Epic item, one of my faves. But this is also the reason why I don't collect MISB... you've got these four mint MOCs plus all the great playset parts within and none of it will ever be seen!

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Any chance of reposting this photo? Due to PB arsehole behaviour it can no longer be seen.

Also, did you take any photos of the contents when you peaked in?

amazing item, I would be happy if I just got a palitoy cantina
