Weird tale about this recent purchase.
Back in 1990 myself, Lee Bullock and another collector called Jon attended Stoke Toyfair (when Stoke had a toyfair). Jon had bought along his 12" Boba Fett doll complete with mint box and even the original Palitoy catalogue mailer. He first offered it to us for £35 but we both passed on it. He ended up trading it with a dealer for a MIB Tie Interceptor. The dealer then told me that he could get £100 for it as it had the mailer - I thought he was on meth. For years I kicked myself for not buying it.
Anyway, this is the only time I've ever seen this mailer with the Fett, neither has Lee and he's seen 99.9% of 12" stuff!
So I came across this listing for an ESB Fett complete with mailer. Bought it and asked the seller where he got it from, 'a toyfair about 20 years ago' - which kind of ties in. Then I receive it and send pics to Jon to see what he thought - it couldn't, could it?!
Yep, seems it could be the very same one according to Jon
So after 25 odd years, I finally get to own it
