A huge 'thank you' to Jez for sending my figure very quickly and expertly packaged. If only all sellers of carded figures took so much care. A very smooth transaction from start to finish. James

One more bump. Still on the hunt for Luke. James

Bumping this up again. Just looking for Luke now. Can anyone help? James

Hi guys. I'm looking to add Kenner carded versions of Luke Bespin (blonde hair), Leia Bespin (31 back) and Han Bespin to my collection. I'd prefer ungraded ones in excellent condition. If you have any of them for sale please pm me with details. Alternatively, I can be e-mailed at...

I don't recognise this hobby anymore either. People seem more concerned with grades and values now rather than having an actual appreciation of the toys and the films that spawned them. James

Is the podcast still on iTunes as I can't seem to find it on there anymore? I've always tracked it down by typing in 'swfuk' but that search now comes up blank. James

Luke and Leia were the only 12 inch figures that Palitoy issued. The rest were distributed by Denys Fisher here in the UK. James

Another fantastic podcast and my favourite one to date. The Palitoy related interviews were excellent. It will be interesting to hear a follow up discussion with Craig about his second round of Vectis sales in the next edition. In answer to this months question, I seem to recall that the very...

I've just finished the third episode and enjoyed it just as much as the previous two. It's refreshing to hear interviews with regular collectors instead of 'super collectors'. The way you all pronounce 'mint on card' as 'mocks' makes me smile every time. I've never heard them referred to like...

I don't have any of the catalogues but do remember that the guy who sent them out was called Kevin Dickey and I used to phone him to reserve items and then pay by cheque for things. There were never any photos of the items listed in the catalogue but I never had any problems with items...

Could it have been Intergalactic Junk? I used to get their catalogue sent to me quarterly from Cornwall. I got my first 12 back from them for £20 in 1991 - C-3PO. I remember thinking that was very expensive at the time! James.

Received my purchase from Jamie today. Excellent item sent very quickly and great packaging. Many thanks for a very smooth deal. James.

Hi everyone, I'd like to add a boxed SW Imperial Troop Transporter to my collection. Can anyone help? I don't mind if it's Kenner or Palitoy but it must be complete and have with the instructions. Please pm or e-mail me at [email protected] if you have one for sale. Thanks. James.
