[QUOTE="Starzone, post: 153358, member: 2404"] OK here are my thoughts. I had a good look at the figure (the best I could under the starcase, poor lighting and behind glass) and it certainly looked good to me. The seal was good, clearly waffled with the correct bubble and correct thickness sellotape holding the blaster, which had yellowed and I couldn't see anything wrong with it. Could it be fake? well I guess it's a possibility, but I don't think so. I understand it was purchased around year ago as part of a near complete set from a journalist who had bought them to photograph back in the day. Also with regards the timeline, VCJs were still on the pegs over here as late as 1980, I had a VCJ as a kid and still have all my childhood backing cards all of which are Palitoy except one....yes you guessed it the Jawa, and this is one of the reasons I have always doubted the existence of a Palitoy VCJ. While I guess this is not going to put the discussion to bed just yet, it has gone a long way to finally confirming the figures existence. Happy Collecting! Darren [/QUOTE]
