[QUOTE="retrotoyinfo, post: 469263, member: 9848"] I just can't see why the POTF cards would have been sold in the UK. In the USA I think there were plenty available in the stores in 1985. After ROTJ, sales went downhill and there were masses of unsold Tri-logo in the UK, some of which had the same figures as the POTF, such as Last 17. A lot of these were imported to America by Kay Bee. The Kenner POTF logo was adapted for Europe (trillingual) but no action figures were released in that packaging In an already waning market, overstocked with Tr-logos which ironically were exported to help sell them, I can't see why there would have been any incentive to import and sell POTF cards here in the UK.
