Hi guys, I am a little stumped on this one, I have a Palitoy 96 figure ROTJ shipping (Klaatu Skiff), it holds its shape but is a little the worse for wear with some writing on in in places where the previous owner was keeping track of what stock he had, all flaps are intact & I know these never show up for sale & are really scarce to nonexistent.

It does not really fit my focus but is a very cool item & piece of history & must be of interest to some Palitoy collectors, I have already been asked if I would like to sell it, but am totally stumped as to what kind of value to lay on it.

I can add photos if needed, but I figure everyone already knows what a cardboard box looks like :lol:

It has a plain white label one end with Klaatu Skiff 96 on it as well as a product code,there is also a code in large black print on the inner of one of the end flaps.

Hope someone has a clue as I am totally in the dark on this one.
 
Here you go Jason I already had these on an image hosting site, one is just an end panel off another box, but its still a cool bit of history to nice to throw away even in the state its in.

Got some photos of the box somewhere will try & dig them up, but will get proper one done tomorrow in daylight hours.
 
Shipping cases in the states...Kenner ones at least have been skyrocketing. I have seen some go for as high as $200. Not sure on yours.....If it says Palitoy on it...you may have struck gold. :D

I take that back Frank (Looking at the pics). If all this has is that paper sticker and all that writing on it...I have no clue. :lol:
 
No mention of palitoy, but Steve at UKG has confirmed its a palitoy one as he has seen some before.

Found the photo I have buried on the pc, will get some more done tomorrow -

With all the writing on it, plus the condition, plus the lack of any real eye catching print like Palitoy, logos, etc., coupled with the fact that it is character specific...I would say it may be worth £45.00. This is based on what similar cases sell for in that condition and also based on the fact that it lacks some of the appeal for general shipping case collectors. I will say this is the first one I have ever seen, but I think that is a starting point on price Frank.
 
Thanks Todd, really appreciate your input, I figured it would be more even with the condition considering how common Kenner ones are by comparison.

As with yourself, this is the only one I have ever seen, anyone else got any thoughts??, going to post it up on RS too & see if anyone there has any clue.
