The 12 Back A's with SKU codes on the footers are I believe the genuine debut cards, but depends whether you want to take it to the nth degree. Trying to do a SKU footer run seems a lot of extra cost for very little reward.

SWFUK bringing out some rare acquisitions recently, thanks for sharing all!

Good call Steve, I've just sent Kathy a message and she came back right away and said she'd investigate that Lot closer. Good positive response from her.

One thing that has caught my eye is Lot 5425, which they are presenting as an original poster used in the West End. There was a very rare mini poster of the Hildebrandt that looks similar to this, but this isn't it. This is the centre page of Time Out magazine, you can see the fold line down the...

Lots and lots of Star Wars.... catalogue online now. http://www.vectis.co.uk/Page/ViewAuction.aspx?AuctionId=605&DayNo=2

I've been hunting this bounty hunter for around five years, nearly had it a couple of times but it slipped away... Finally I have snagged the Special Offer Slave One! Never really thought I'd own one, so really pleased with this piece.

Look at how spotty and pixelated the grain is too on the image, particularly where the dark background merges into light background. Compared to this.

Only 5% of the worlds population have ever flown on an airplane. We are very fortunate to live in the places we do, and to have the lifestyle we do. Being able to spend money on something as frivolous as action figures is something that I take for granted... but I have been to third world...

The truth of the gold dome R2 is that the dome was originally applied with a clear varnish, and over the decades this lacquer has darkened and given it the gold appearance.

Nice one Rob, a plain old mini rig becomes something rather special in an ESB Palitoy box!

Here is my recreation of the AT-IC... And the original Kenner reference photo...

Wow, that's quite some collection. I'm going to say that the way you've presented it makes it pretty hard to value. The cardbacks are in such varied condition (tragically the Imperio Contraataca Vader is in awful shape). I think it would be easier to value if you separated the figure...

This was some parcel to open on 'May The 4th'! A set of 12 Back A MOCs from Johnpaul Ragusa. Some may think where is the fun in buying such a collection rather than one at a time, but there were a couple of compelling reasons. These figures had all been together since the 70s and untouched...

Lol!! That one got a laugh out of me!

That's interesting to hear about Tesco, I think the supermarket my mum used to drag me round was a co-op and I just remember it being food only, no toys. Good shout on John Menzies, that was the main rival to WHSmith and I do remember them selling a good range of SW.

I know that 300 million is the 'accepted' number of vintage SW figures sold, but god knows what the production numbers are for Hasbro's modern toy lines. I just tried a google search and couldn't see any info on that. At least in the UK I don't recall vintage SW figures being sold in...

Tentacles have a long and honourable tradition in Star Wars. Don't forget the trash compactor monster (yeah obviously we know it as the 'Dianoga' looking like a green fish - but in the movie all you see are tentacles), and in Jabba's dungeon C3PO gets grabbed through the bars by tentacles. And...

voiceover man... "They took everything from Bor Gullet, NOW HE'LL TAKE IT BACK!"

https://www.facebook.com/maythetoysbewithyou/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE&fref=nf I hope that link above will work... I had 15 seconds of fame on daytime show Live At Five spreading the good word about vintage! It was fun to record, the presenter Ewen Cameron was a bonafide SW fan and he did a little...

I think you're a trooper (excuse the pun) even going into work today. Think you ought to spend the rest of today getting slowly sozzled! You're a world record holder, that is defo cause to crack open the champagne - or at least a lager! The regime of focus, diet, training etc can start again...
