Love those Japanese ESB boxed figures. Really nice find!!!

I think it originates from 'Son of a Gun'. Son of a 'Prostitute' Which is 17th century British Naval Slang. If a sailor got lucky while the crew were anchored in harbour. The gun deck was the most secluded place to get down to business. If she got pregnant. The X sailor would be on the other...

I always thought it was bluey-black (SW origin 1978) Blue is (ESB origin 1980) like my avatar.. No ROTJ figures came with Stormtrooper blasters, so maybe there was a large gap in manufacturing to the POTF Luke Stormie. The Luke Stormtrooper blaster is still bluey-black underlight, but much...

This web sites really handy for working it out. http://www.loresdelsith.net/rincon/armeria/index2.htm Gives you a comparison to the repro ones, the tell tale signs..

"Give us a kiss"

I always thought it said Moof. :wink:

Hes the bloke drinking with Ponda Bara (Bum-face) with the turned up pig nose in the Cantina bar. "were wanted men" Has a pop at Luke. White Helmet Rebel Trooper & Han Stormie. Darth with Removal Helmet. I remember it almost became a urban myth in school playgrounds. Be some kid...

I'm always suspect of anybody who lays it one too thick with the 'life long collection', 'Sorry to see it go'. There was somebody from Wolverhampton who was selling his 'life long collection' every week for 3 months on eBay. Same line up of 12 backs.. different set every week.. Yellowie...

You guys seen these before. A few ROTJ figures which didn't get past the workings out. Rocket Rider has been confirmed as the Biker Scout. Rebel Digintary could of been Mon Mothma. Hermi Odle vintage figure would be bloody weird. Looks turned inside out. The Luke in Trad Jedi Robes. I think...

The Sequel is ok. Kinji Fukasaku who directed BR started making the sequel. But passed away halfway through the production. His Son had to finish the film. So its a little uneven inplaces. Winners of last year become terrorists. The Goverment send in new brats to wipe them out. BR is great...

:lol: I remember one kid at school who use to be really good at those aircraft model kits. He brought a Sea Harrier Jet in for a art class, like a subject to draw. But after 4 months into the third year. he started hanging out with the solvent possie down the park.. a Towel and a nicked Can of...

Found a new approach, probably 24 years old, but what the hell... Right! Now where do I send this bad boy off to? *cough* can't see the 'comp finish date' looks a bit smudged.. beats jumping through hoops on ****in ebay. :wink:

Mail away definetly does ring a bell! You had to cut out the Boba Fett Helmet Tokens to send off. Amazing what you can find on a Palitoy 45 back. :wink:

Thanks for the info Twofoot. So the original UK AT-AT didn't come with all that Luke belt n winch and hoth backpacks? Was the logo on the front of the box (bottom right corner) like the Palitoy Cardbacks?

Just doing a bit of research for a Palitoy ESB AT-AT. Before putting my cash on the table. As a child I recieved a Jedi one in the christmas of 1982 I think, but not exactly sure. But the internet seems to be failing me on facts. -The ESB boxes had no Palitoy logo on the front? (neither a...

Yeah. Reminds me of that 'Whack your Boss' simulator http://www.addictinggames.com/whackyourboss.html

"a must for all dog chew collectors" The Luke looks as messed up as the end of the bloody film its from! I bet you they all smell of pedigree chum.

Definetly narly looking most of them. Atleast the vintage ones have charm about them. I know they don't seemed to hold there value specially the POTF2 range, even more so than the standard action figures. Remember walking around ToysRUs in the late 90s. A mate of mine had a laughing fit at...

Lynch's Dune is the most exotic lookin Sci-fi movie ive ever seen it rivals Star Wars for vision. Its a bit messy story wise inplaces. Always liked the weirdness Lynch brought to it. I know he wrote a screenplay for 'Dune Messiah' (Dune II) while the film was in post-producton and editing...

Jesus. I was talking to a barber who cutting my hair about 3 weeks ago about this place. He owns a flat he rents out down there. Told me you have to ring them up, book an apointment to have a look round. He bought a few original early 70s David Bowie gig posters from there. Said the place is...
