There is another version of the Orange Palitoy on eBay right now:

That has the 6 Boba Fett stamps on the top of the box, where my Palitoy box doesn't have that.
I assume those stamps relate to the Bounty Hunter Capture Log which Capetown has.
I wonder...
Personally I think the light Orange version was a Palitoy, but almost like the "last, end of production" copies.
That would explain the different colour and poor quality plastic casting.
The mould was used so much for the Red version, that by the end of production, it was well used...

Hi Gadders,
If you do have time to take the photos, please PM them to me as some people make repros and sell them on as genuine.

Basically, I have the Kenner box and the Palitoy box... but just want to know what bits to put in what box?
I'd rather not guess that the light...
Hi Pomse2001,
Yeah, it almost seems to be random.
I have checked multiple places over the web and some Palitoy have the dark orange/red and some have the light orange.
It's also the quality of the plastic casting, as the light orange has a lot poorer casting than the dark.
Almost like the...
Hi Capetown, thanks for the reply.
You also have a different box insert to the one I have too, which is in 2 cardboard parts.
(unless you are missing a piece)
My confusion is because I have seen others on eBay, YouTube and around the web with a Palitoy version with the dark orange...
So was...
Hi, I am new to this Forum... but desperately need some help!
I currently own 2 loose Star Wars Darth Vader's Star Destroyers.
One I had from when I was a kid and a second which I recently purchased from eBay.
However, there is a big difference between the parts of each ship including:
