    Toy of the week 2, Week 52, Snaggletooth

    Hi Lars, Sorry, but I don’t have any more information on this than you. Since the M1 Smile blaster is correct / accurate according to the PBP book, I’ve paired my PBP Snaggletooth figure with one. Beyond that, I’m afraid I don’t have any other insight or knowledge about it. Jeremy

    Weird Rub on Death Star Commanders legs!!

    I’ve no idea what causes it, but I have seen it on rare occasions in the past.

    Excellent! Well done for having both versions, and thanks for sharing them :) Jeremy

    Toy of the week 2, Week 53, Darth Vader Tie Fighter

    The Darth Vader TIE Fighter was my Christmas present in 1978 😀 . And I had one long before (or so it seemed to me back then!) I got a regular white TIE Fighter, so my space battle recreations were strictly limited to Luke's X-Wing vs Darth's TIE Fighter until Mr White eventually showed up...

    Thanks Lars. I’m sorry to hear about your ankle and knee. I hope you soon recover Jeremy.

    Agreed, but likewise on finding a good original paint job. Whoever painted these back in the 70's did a really lousy job! Tougher blue to find? It took me a lot longer to find a nice un-yellowed dented toe variant than undented variant. For some reason (at least when I was searching for one)...

    Toy of the week 2, Week 52, Snaggletooth

    Wow! There's not a lot of love for Snaggletooth in this latest Toy of the Week thread so far. I will start to correct that here and hope some others will join me in sharing their reds and blues :) I've always liked the Snaggletooth figure, ever since I was a child fighting battles with him...

    Toy of the week 2, Week 50, Zuckuss

    I do actually tell you that in the description on my post :). The Ledy rifle is a dull greyish black instead of the shinier solid black seen on the Kenner versions.

    History of Palitoy

    No, I just bought the red 5 option from day 1. I added nothing else later.

    Strange. If like me you live in the UK, I would have expected you to be charged VAT (unless you purchased a lower tier than red 5 perhaps?). Anyway, if you weren't charged anything extra then well done. I wish I hadn't :(

    History of Palitoy

    I've just received an email inviting me to finalise my pledge. Since I'd paid for the book and postage at Red 5 level from the outset, I didn't think I would be charged anything extra, however I was wrong. There is the very unwelcome addition of VAT that gets added on at the very last moment!

    Toy of the week 2, Week 50, Zuckuss

    I agree there really isn't much of a difference, however this is what the VV website reports: The dot after the first 'L' of 'L.F.L.' has shifted position very slightly. I used a magnifying glass on my own figures and it was still tough to see, but I think I've got it right! A bigger...

    Toy of the week 2, Week 50, Zuckuss

    Thanks, Lars. The Variant Villain website has not been fully updated for Zuckuss yet: https://www.variantvillain.com/characters/esb/zuckuss/ However, it seems that there are only Smile, Unitoy and Lili Ledy variants for this figure. Because the Lili Ledy variant is derived from the Unitoy...
