So As i Said really looking for a rough value on these. I know that the cards are warped on some of them and will effect there value. Once they're in some star case's they should look better.
Any one have a good idea how i could get them flatter. Was thinking of placing a heavy book on the card section (grease proof paper over the top of them). But reluctant to tough them.

I wouldn't do anything if i were you. Most collectors won't mind and slight warp and if you put weight on the cards you could pull the bubble off. In fact, it's quite likely.
I don't know much about Palitoy values at the moment but i'd say these will range from 400 up to 700+. I really don't know but we have a few "experts" on here who should be able to give you more accurate valuations. Smaller pictures would help your cause these are obviously way to big.

thanks. i know they are big. ill try and make them smaller and post up together

Ok as requested ive made them smaller by scaling them down onto one pic. But please refere to previous pics for better details

Cracking find.

Good luck with your sales mate.

Top banana! Lovely sight mate and congrats. You relative did immensely well. I hope you do well with sales

P.s. any joy on the shipping carton? What did the box look like that these came in?

Thanks. chris.

Well I'll eat a large slice if humble pie
Honestly thought thus was a load of bollocks,my apologies

I hope he didn't sell a Luke or Chewy privately for less than £1500 because that's prob the bare minimum for those two at today's prices.

As for the rest the Han could get you £1000 if you are lucky and less for the rest

Great find,well done

let just say he use to have a few boxes of these. there was 20 to a box. Some where stolen by the black sheep of the family and the rest he's been selling them to a dealer over the last couple of years on the quite. My aunt nearly killed him.
the dealer of course was making request of the ones he wanted. A collector myslef i was supprised he never asked me before now. Unfortunately i could never afford them myself.

Am I reading this right - he had MORE THAN 1 BOX OF THESE! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

YES, my aunt had a shop well over 20 years ago. She did a deal with a retired palitoy rep and use to sell the toys in the shop. I still have my remote control r2-d2 she gave me as a present one year. Anyway my cousin came into the shop one day and claimed the daily shipment of toys and place them up in the loft. I know at the time a box of 20 cost £19 and there was a few of them as well the die cast ships, 12" dolls and a ton of action men.
As far as i know the palitoy rep is still alive and has a fair good stock himself. But then again he could of sold it by now.

so that would of been 1500 each?
wow
oh well what he dosn't know would hurt
so what would be the min for any one fig? Which are the less sort after and what kind of price could he expect?
see i only know rotj could this is only what i can afford so never keep abreast of the big stuff.

There is a thread somewhere on palitoy rarity,not sure where though.
The more common ones will still fetch 300-400 each they are 3PO Sandpeople
Vader is pretty common in my opinion but would fetch around 500-600 in good condition
R2 also quite common 400 maybe
It all depends who is buying what at the time
I know of 3 people who are still looking for a luke and chewy to complete a set of 12

oh i may as well put this up there as well if anyone has a rough idea of price guide. i have a price guide from 2005 thats say around 200 but i know prices go up and down in the star wars world.
as you can see the box is a little worn. could of been an ex display model or something. but still sealed in box.

Don't suppose you can give the name of the dealer?? :wink:

Some great stuff there.

It's difficult to be exact on prices as, as Lee says, so much depends on who is buying at any given time so there's little consistency. Luke and Chewie are, and have been for some time the priciest of the lot and £1500 would be a possible price for each. Luke has, for as long as I have been collecting MOC, always been the highest. Don't know why, but prices of 2500 have been known.

The Han is easily the rarest one you have. I've known mint ones to hit around 1k.

The rest are probably between £4-600. Though there was a time when you could give Sandpeople away!!

Would love to see a picture of the original shipping carton
