[QUOTE="Bonsai_Tree_Ent, post: 390448, member: 3845"] Craig, Return Of The Jedi wasn't released till June 1983 in the UK. I suspect for at least the first 6 months of 1983 that ESB logo'd toys were still selling (especially with the 11th hour 'Revenge' title change which might have slowed the transition to ROTJ). There are enough examples out there of the grey X-Wing in an ESB box (personally I have only seen them in ESB), and also of white X-Wings appearing in a ROTJ box. Let's not forget that the tri-logo X-Wing (which would have been the latest European version date wise) was white. I think it's fair to say that the grey version was a 'later' version (from your evidence it seems to have appeared late '82 early '83) but I don't think we can say it replaced the white one - they appear to have been sold in conjunction.
