[QUOTE="Simply Sci-fi, post: 388320, member: 5480"] Thanks for the photo. The picture on the box bares more resemblance to the white X-Wing than the grey one. Are grey X-Wings common? I hardly ever come across the back in the 90's. Putting "Palitoy Battle Damaged X-Wing" in Google Images turns up a load of white X-Wings with clear canopies in ESB and Tri-logo packaging. I'm going to stick my neck out right now and say that Palitoy supplied the ordinary white X-Wing in 1981 with "Battle Damaged" stickers and re-boxed it in Tri-logo too. The grey one turned up for some reason at some point during the Tri-logo run. The grey X-wing with its glued down battery hatch and useless button has an air of shoddiness to it. The kind of thing you'd expect towards the end of a range and not a product that would have appeared during the height of the popularity of Star Wars. I don't mind being proven wrong though. I've been out of the collecting game since the 90's, you know. [/QUOTE]
