[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 497150, member: 7379"] The '"Battle Damaged" X-Wing Fighter' this week, Lars? Another good choice! Not content with simply reissuing the original Star Wars X-Wing Fighter in Empire packaging, which Kenner initially did, they quickly realised they could sell kids exactly the same toy all over again by including some crappy 'battle damage' stickers which made the toy look worse! Genius! :lol: OK, I know the 'battle damage' stickers have their supporters, so I'll take my tongue out of my cheek and content myself by saying that I personally never liked them. You didn't see battle damage like that in the film, and once applied, you couldn't easily remove the stickers without damaging the main stickers! Regardless of that, here are my opened Palitoy ESB version, some Palitoy ROJ instructions, since I don't have any Palitoy ESB ones, plus my sealed Kenner ESB version. The X-wing itself went through a few changes over the years, but the most obvious difference to be found is that the Kenner version had electronic sounds and a baffling red LED light at the tip of its nose, both operated via a blue button on top of the ship, whilst the Palitoy version ditched the sounds and light and resculpted the rear of the ship, replacing it with a sticker.
