[QUOTE="SublevelStudios, post: 309904, member: 5051"] Yes, Jim 'Mr Star Wars' Stevenson was one of the first dealers on the scene and being based in Mansfield he wasn't far from Leicester. There were a couple of other big dealers around in the very early 90's and a bit before who I also knew, Gary McGuire, Dave Oliver, Monica Deegan, Mark Woollard...some of these guys are still going. I even traded back then along with a couple of friends under the name SUBLEVEL (which is where I get my company name today!). I think most of these dealers were snapping up old shop stock rather than prototypes and unproduced items. I believe most of Palitoys stuff ended up at the V&A and therefore not much on the open market, although I have seen some cool 1st shot Action Force figures recently! I know of many stories of dealers uncovering warehouse finds and old shop stock discoveries - I even uncovered a few myself. At that time you couldn't give the stuff away. I'm not sure there is anyone here who could possibly be on the same level as Steve Denny for acquiring rarities like that but Jason Joiner is without doubt the most prolific in his acquisitions.
