Kaybee price sticker over UK price sticker

Presuming the Kaybee sticker is genuine, this is unusual.

Very odd

kaybee stuff was european over stock.

weird that it has a sterling and dollar price.

Ive seen pali rotj and tri logo with kaybee but not pali esb. Odd

I reckon the kaybee sticker has been lifted of something else to cover damage

There is at least one Palitoy ESB with Kaybee sticker in my picture guide, courtesy of Iain if memory serves so yes, they did have some. KayBee also stocked SW at full price before the overstock stuff

I have purchased from this chap before and he has had Palitoys with Kaybee stickers so I guess it could be likely - the card is such a beater that I don't think hiding a bit of paper loss would be worth it

Here's my Kaybee Palitoy ESB

Even though a Palitoy ESB figure is a pretty unlikely candidate for a kaybee bargain bin I think that one on eBay is most likely legit. I've seen another ESB Palitoy logo Kay Bee sticker MOC on eBay just like Nick's 4-LOM so it did happen. Overstock was overstock at the end of the day and they may have even been returns that wound up with the ROTJ/Trilogo era figures (Dave Tree posted a fantastic bit of paperwork that showed how a shop had returned a shipment of figures because the owner felt they had been sent a "bad selection" aka pegwarmers!).

On further inspection of the U.K. Price sticker it is also interesting to note the toy shop is The Entertainer, Amersham which according to wiki was the first shop of the still successful and ongoing brand that started out in 1981. I guess, if someone was so inclined, they could write to the owners of the shop who still run the business, Gary and Catherine Grant to find out. From what Joe said it sounds perfectly plausible that they filled the shelf for a while and were sent back, which is pretty much the business model for today's toy shops.
