    Why is it you hear....

    luke stormtrooper blaster.

    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...

    eBay 'Selling my lifelong collection'

    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...

    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...

    modern 12" Dolls.

    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...
