Incredible. Even more so at that price!

So RAD

That is probably the best find over the last couple of years. Shame there is no Yoda in there.

I always wonder what more is out there that still hasn't been found or surfaced.

Get 10x your money back on that lot, and then some - easy!

Amazing find. Who knows, could there be a sealed shipping case of Palitoy 12 backs tucked away in some former toyshop owners attic?

Has anyone on here ever found anything like this? I mean a box full of figures or mini rigs for example. Never seen these not even back in the day, and it's not for lack of looking. Used to go in stores and ask if they had anything left. Even in the mid 90's I found stuff on the shelves at the original price, but to have a store stock case like this is amazing. Wonderful stuff

Shipping cartons can still be found. Vectis sold quite a few last year. Y-wing, Jabba throne rooms and a few more I think. A few cartons of figs have popped up too including potf jawas, potf b-wing pilots. Meccano square card jawas. Also bagged Luke Jedi's. So they do turn up. This carton is definitely a cut above the ones I've mentioned though.

Bouche bée :shock:

What a great discovery and a steal at that price, there is some lucky collector out there rubbing their hands and licking their lips right now

What would everyone do if they had been the lucky person to pick that haul up for that money? Would you keep it together as it was bought or would you separate it up and make some big bucks out of it?

Not being a collector of MOCS I'd probably sell them on and make a nice windfall to treat the family and feed my focus with the possibility of keeping one of each example as a momento)

I.d open worst of each one .keep one of each .then flog rest :twisted:

Keep 'em as they are

Amazing 8)

Holy hell. Fantastic.

you wouldn't open them at that price you tit!

i'd donate them to Jabba for his loose collection :lol:

& Chris - don't go slating my shipping case you SOB!

In all truth I doubt any of us would know what to do for the best if the find were ours, sure it would be several days/weeks/months before the shock wore off for starters, really love seeing these.

It always makes me think of the tight twat that ran star shop in leicester, he bought a full shipping case of ROTJ palitoy MOC's from an old guy who's son had died & the guy was trying to raise funds from what he had left behind, Mark the guy in question paid him 50p each for them case included, what a total turd, more turd as he would not sell me one for 20 quid, talk about tight as a cats arse on a frosty morning.
