Around the time I bought mine, I was led to believe the Tie Bomber was only trialed in three US States and was not available anywhere else. Theswca say was a test market of 75,000. This seems a disputed fact. Someone on one website who claims to own two bought at Toys R Us in 1980 states "As it...

Here is pictures of my DCA tie bomber, I always wanted one. I sent it to Die-cast Authority for grading.

Here is mine. The Kenner catalog pages also make it look very cool. I always thought this was a underrated toy. I did a post about it http://retrotoyinfo.co.uk/tag/biker-scout-laser-pistol/

I am very fond of the Droids series. The figures were also released by Kenner Canada in Bi-lingual text and some by Glasslite in Brazil. Added interest to the Droids series figures includes the cross over to include Boba Fett, the last 17 A-Wing pilot, new versions of C-3PO and R2-D2, the...

I have a couple of these. If your going to buy, buy the best condition!

My genuine sealed 12 back carded Leia would not have cost me more than £100, I bought it around 2002 I think

I do appreciate your podcast, and realise there are complex reasons behind the yellowing. I could also hear you were trying to simplify as much as possible for the listener. I don't think you failed as you couldn't have done it any better, and I am sure it was very helpful to the star wars...
