Just got one of these Death Star Briefing sets myself. It's sweet 8) - my first set of modern figures :shock: Gotta love the imperial commanders, vintage and modern; - something about the uniform! :D

Ouch, that's gotta hurt :shock: :shock: 9 standard figures for over £400 :roll:

man city till i die!... :D though i always look out for liverpool as my dad was a supporter; born and raised in west derby...

Used Hammersnipe recently. Subsequently, when logging in to 'my ebay', for the first (and so far only) time got the pictorial security verification that's designed to prevent automated logins. :o Coincidence? :? Or the start of enhanced security to prevent sniping / ensure bid 'wars' drive...

These are really special :D :shock: Sad to see such an extensive collection broken up :cry:

Just looking for some clarity :lol: on bubbles. Always wary of recards / reseals :evil: & interested in Kenner v. Palitoy production methods and quality standards. In my limited experience Kenner bubbles are generally tight around the figure, pressure sealed (causing the 'waffle' print) and...

and buying from the 'notorious' shaun neinest too :o :o

just received my MOC stormie from Edd. nice one 8) cheers :D :D :D

I'll take them all. PM on it's way... :D

Oh yes... 8) now you're talking... Free Nien Nunb, Free Dengar, Free Emperor - all now sadly gone; but not forgotten :roll: Something about the smell of a new figure - different for those bagged & boxed to those off the card... :? Share the feeling - had I kept all my figures MOC instead...

Nice capture 8) Still not dipped my toe in the US market though I'm sorely tempted with UK prices being what they are :x How much do you end up paying on import charges?

Didn't lose anything 'special' really. Just every loose figure I'd collected as a kid (60+) - all packed in a Rebel Transporter I got for Christmas 1980(?). Think we didn't manage to clear out the loft properly when we moved house a couple of years ago. RT must have been in a box up there :x...

That's the fellow :shock: I've gone all teary eyed :D :cry: A double? PM me with a price & full pic if you want to sell. I'd treasure it forever...

No - they had the ZT name on them. I've occasionally seen them on other vintage toys on ebay. Only seen one once on a SW Palitoy cardback in a US ebay auction. Narks me that it was in the US :x - obviously no appreciation of the toy heaven that was ZT. But who else would get all worked up...

Love the stormies. Getting all nostalgic again 8) The Palitoy stormie was my first ever SW figure - from my brother for my 7th birthday. Happy Days :D
