[QUOTE="Mwak73, post: 549474, member: 13334"] Hello. I have a simple question, which I hope will provide a clear cut answer. I've had a good scan of the internet, but can't seem to find any definitive information on the following - We all know that the power of the force was the final proper hurrah, of the vintage line, and there's a fair bit of info available, on American sites, about the figures issued with coins. But were the coin figures (or indeed, mail away coins) ever a thing, in the UK, at the time, in 1985? I have to admit -I'm not really a collector. My interest is purely nostalgic. Star wars toys shaped my childhood from the very start. My palitoy land speeder and X wing, were treasured possessions, back in 1978, as a 5 year old. And I collected the figures all the way through. But for the life of me, I can't recall if I ever saw the coin figures. I can sharply recall buying Luke in the stormtrooper outfit, in 85, but can't recall any coin with it. Were all the UK releases, just put out on Tri Logo cards? I'm strongly suspecting that was the case, and that the coin thing, was a purely Kenner thing, for American buyers. Any info would be gratefully appreciated. [/QUOTE]
