[QUOTE="kingshearer, post: 388604, member: 4301"] When I was a kid I didn't care less, the packaging was just an obstacle in the way of getting at the figure or ship. I do remember, at various times, looking lovingly at the cardboard death star on the back of a Palitoy 20 Back card which I kept to ring which figures I had. I don't think I had any Kenner cards till Jedi. Comparing them as an adult collector Palitoy is my favourite, the logo and the fact that they were packaged over here in a place called Coalville. They're as British as fish and chips :D The packaging for Palitoy 12 backs does have a little bit of plastic under some of the figures for protecting the capes (I think) which I don't think the corresponding Kenners have. When I first started collecting I used to buy from brians toys over the phone back in about 2002. I got a Kenner 12 back luke which had dirt on his chest (still have it) and a 12 back Kenner Han with a badly painted white tunic (had bluey blotches). They were probably cast off's and he was just getting rid of them so it's probably unfair to use this as a black mark against the Kenner quality. [/QUOTE]
