Catalogues & posters

[Robstyley]

Have picked up a few Vintage SW toy catalogues, posters and other paper stuff over the last couple of years. I got a couple of the catalogues with mailaways - an Emperor and an Ackbar I think? I've started collecting this sort of thing. I like them, they don't cost a fortune and you get a lot to look at for your money. Just wondering if anyone knows of a list or guide of catalogues and posters etc, or what toys they were packaged with, can't find much on it. I remember chatting to Tim the Brighton toy trader at either Comicon or FF and he had a really cool book with all the SW posters that were released but I can't remember what it was called.

I can take a photo of all the catalogs that come with the mailers & MP's for you if you like, there are a few, also other bit's that came with some of the mailers like the black flyer with Bossk

Rob, my limelight on rebelscum has got a lot of box contents, including catalogs. It also has some links to a few other pages that could help, such as Project Outside The Box on TIG. Here you go: http://forum.rebelscum.com/showthread.php?t=1086230

One thing to point out is that catalogs could be different on toys that were reissued. For example the X-Wing which was re-released multiple times. Basically, the catalog included was based on date of release rather than being specific to a toy.

That would be awesome Frank if you don't mind, thanks. Maybe just post it here for reference.

Cheers Bonsai, will check it out. Yeah I get what you mean, the catalogue reflects what's available at that point so could be packaged with lots of different vehicles or toys available at a specific time and then the catalogue changes with a new wave of toys etc. Nice one cheers, great info

That's a brilliant thread Bonsai, great for reference. Just had a quick flick through, will have a proper look later. It definitely shows me a few to look out for that I don't have.

just the catalogs & paperwork ok for you, or does it all need matching with it's item which would take a while as I have all my paperwork bundled together for the most part

Hi guys. Just come across this thread and loving it! I would love to see the picture spoken about as regards the different types of catalogues and booklets that came with the SW vintage vehicles, etc ? I'm currently thinking of collecting them but uncertain of how many there are and what the value is on them? Attached is a picture of a few that someone has. He's offering them up for sale but not sure of there worth ?
Cheers
