I too would be interested to know, i recently purchased a vintage Die-cast Darth Vader Tie Fighter still factory sealed and in quite decent packaging. This cost me about Ã‚Â£36 all in from the US and i really like it. The back of the card has pictures of the Kenner figures (21 if i can remember) and other Die-cast models. I dont know if this was expensive, cheap?

In comparison to some loose afa items i have acquired lately i suppose it is cheap in comparison.

I will post a picture of it tomorrow, i am now going to try and hunt down a factory sealed normal Tie Fighter, X-Wing and Snow Speeder but would love an idea of what to pay.

Also to add to the above, the vehicle sounds quite interesting the wing pops off as though you have battle damage and an escape podule thing pops out as well. I thought those features were pretty neat and it was tempting to open just to fiddle with those, but i wont.

I have a cloud car loose, not brilliant condition, but you are welcome to it if someone on here wants it.

Trade perhaps?

A lot of sellers in the us dont except paypall. I think some areas in the middle of hicksville , knowhere just cannot use paypall due to paypalls coverage.

I had them all except for the Y-Wing (too big and rubbish looking) and Tie Bomber (too expensive). I have kept the Falcon and both Tie Fighters as they look good on display but sold the others.

Prices can vary depending on condition as they are prone to stone chips and discolouration. The Tie Bomber could cost over Ã‚Â£100 and is hard to find but the others will be around Ã‚Â£5 - Ã‚Â£20.

I never had the Die cast as a kid but they do look great carded!!
Would be tempted by that guys auctions, but not sure if the weight of them will pull the bubbles off in transit??

Roundster I think you might be right depends on how they are packed. I am more interested in the loose ones like these few also from down under

Tie bomber goes for around Ã‚Â£50-Ã‚Â£100 loose

Ã‚Â£36 for a carded DV tie is good. I've seen loose ones go for Ã‚Â£25

Here's a pic of all the ships apart from the tie bomber

Spoons, how long have you had your carded Tie and how much did you pay for it?

Inzaman, I bought it in August from an American seller. Its in pretty good condition apart from a very small tear to the left side of the card (top corner), and cost Ã‚Â£30 including P&P.

the back is the 12 back version, at the moment its my favourite item in my collection.
