[QUOTE="retrotoyinfo, post: 468499, member: 9848"] Hi All, This is one of my favourite vintage Star Wars toys. Be interested to see pictures if you have one in your collection. Especially if anyone has the super rare European version. Or your thoughts on the toy. It's quite hard to track down now to buy. i think it's always had a rarity about it. The postage costs and other size restrictions always made it difficult to import from the USA, and European versions are almost non existent as far as I was aware? As it was also among the last ROTJ vehicles produced in the vintage era, presumably when demand for the toys was starting to wain, I thought it never sits totally comfortably with other ROTJ toys. I always thought this about the B-Wing too. Only appearing for the first time in the 1984 Kenner trade Toy Fair catalogue, the 1985 Toy Fair catalog was proclaiming the arrival of the POTF Imperial Shuttle! Yea, like that all worked out! For my love of this toy, I finished a new post today on the 1984 Imperial Shuttle vehicle. You can see it at http://www.retrotoyinfo.co.uk. The post took me a while as I wanted to reference as many catalogs as possible, as well as explain all the International versions. The original Kenner TV advert is viewable too.
