[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 495275, member: 7379"] Good choice, Lars! The '"Battle-Damaged" Imperial Tie Fighter Vehicle'... another jaw-breaker from the same book of Kenner toy names as 'Darth Vader's Star Destroyer Action Playset'! Fortunately however, unlike the Star Destroyer (which is a fun playset), this actually looks pretty much like the thing it's supposed to. However, both as a child and as an adult, I was never a fan of Kenner's Battle-damage stickers. Once added to your vehicle, you couldn't easily remove them and you then had a permanently altered toy. And to add insult to injury, although we didn't know it back in the 80's, the battle-damage stickers had a very nasty habit of curling up at the edges over time and looking dreadful! I'm sure plenty of fans loved / love them, but I'd rather the battle-damage stickers weren't applied, so I was delighted when I came across this example many years ago where the previous owner had decided not to apply them: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Wrinkly Battle Damage - 01.jpg"]48975._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Wrinkly Battle Damage - 02.jpg"]48976._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Wrinkly Battle Damage - 03.jpg"]48977._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Wrinkly Battle Damage - 04.jpg"]48978._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Wrinkly Battle Damage - 05.jpg"]48979._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
