Don't take this the wrong way, because I'm saying it, with respect - but what on earth is going on? Firstly, who on earth, are Woof and Joy? And secondly... What do they have to do, with a comment, left by someone else, referring to a star wars themed cartoon, being shown on a 1980s Saturday...

Ha ha, I do sense a smidging of sarcasm in there.😁 But you know.... It doesn't make an ounce of difference, to the truth of things, to take it to the extreme like that, and take the piss. Because what I've said.... From my own viewpoint....is spot on. What a truly awful thing to want to aspire...

I'll tell you something - I don't care if we sound like old gits - there is a solid truth in what you say. Experience is invaluable in life....IE if you've been there, done it, and lived through it, it gives you the right to speak about it and have an opinion. If not, you should keep your gob...

Ha ha.... Yes.... Frozen water in glass is never a brilliant combination 😂 Well, it's the shape of the blister isn't it..... The perfect dimensions for a carbonite box 👍👍 But yeah .... You've awoken long sleeping memories now, in me. I definitely also used a cup to freeze him, too, when I didn't...

.... It's like the new Spiderman film. I'd heard the rumours beforehand, that it brought back the two other movie Spidermen, plus the villains from those movies. And upon hearing those rumours, it didn't spoil things one bit for me. My thoughts were "Now, THAT would be a cracking film" and it...

Ah, yes, I must apologize for that. It's not a thing I do purposefully. I'm just still kinda new to all of this "spoiler" thing, and it often doesn't cross my mind. It's because I can honestly say, me reading that in the Sun today (if in fact, anyone ever seriously "reads" that paper😁), doesn't...

Hello. Now, first off, I admit i haven't seen any of the show, as I don't currently have Disney plus. I will do, at some point. But my post today, regards some news I just read that is (allegedly) legit - That Harrison Ford has filmed scenes, while shooting Indiana Jones in the UK, for an...

Ha, I love all the reminiscences of playing with, and/or mistreating the toys.😁 I particularly liked the reference to shop lifting - I see you also likely shared an upbringing similar to myself - of being a far cry from a cosy household, safe and secure with two loving parents, a comfortable...

Well, all I'll say, to bring that particular chapter to a close, is that a) I'm not an overly sensitive person - grew up among four lads in a divorced household, plus worked 25 years as a lorry driver and warehouseman in the North East. Which means I'm no shrinking wallflower. Harsh stinging...

Just a daft memory that popped into my head just now. I usually preface my posts, by stating that I don't collect the old toys now, but that my interest on here, lies mainly in reminiscing about having them, back when they came out, as a kid. And today's memory is this - It's not something I've...

Thanks for that. A fascinating read, although not a lot to be gleaned about the availability of the case, sadly. Still, interesting stuff regarding the palitoy site. Ha.... Do you know my overall reaction to that post.... Last week, I was mocked, by someone on here, and not in a gentle way, on...

That's excellent, Andy, and Mark... thank you. And it seems to bear out all the (scant) evidence I've been able to find out thus far from other sources. That the cases were generally very rare things over here. I knew about the darth Vader one, being part of the bounty Hunter scheme, but the...

Thank you for that, Stu. The thing is, though, I've owned that book for a couple of years. And its one of my most treasured possessions, with its memories, not just of palitoy, but of details of the original trilogies release here. But sadly it makes no mention of the cases (correct me if I'm...

Thank you, Michael - as always, anyone taking the time to reply, is very much appreciated. However, the piece doesn't give much information about this side of the pond... In fact, I don't think it gives any. It's written, very much from a general Kenner/USA point of view, in its talk of...

Hello. Would anyone know how available..... Back in the day, when they first emerged..... That collector cases were, in this country? I'm talking in the 70s and 80s. I'm not after any nowadays, as I'm not a collector, but I am interested in reading about the original star wars range, and getting...
