What a great picture and what fantastic memories from everyone. The deadline for photographs has now passed but I'm always interested in photos and stories of Darth Vader and other costumed activity in the U.K. Boba Fett want on tour in 1980 but photographic evidence is practically...

The text of the book has already been completed, so I can't include anything else I'm sorry to say. If get the chance to write a second book in the series chronicling Star Wars in the UK from 1984 to the present, I'll be looking for a fresh batch of memories. Craig.

Thanks for the positive words. The publisher doesn't have a precise release date yet, so I can't book any promotional events just yet.

It was just a Palitoy promotion that didn't go anywhere. Good for collectors today, otherwise there would be tons of boxes with those symbols cut out!

Thanks for pointing out the typos. This list has got to be 100% accurate!

Thanks for the pic and the information. I couldn't remember if I'd seen a Palitoy Play-doh for ESB.

Thanks. As I said, there's a lot of stuff about Palitoy Star Wars in the book, but I've had to make room for a hell of a lot of other information. Even so, I'm sure it'll blow most fan's socks off.

Thanks for the comments. The book only covers the time up to the end of 1983. I'm not aware of any Trilogo items in '83 but I'm willing to bow to greater knowledge. I'm not aware of Palitoy branded play-doh for ESB or ROTJ. Also the model kits and Craft Master sets too don't seem to have ever...

I wish I had the opportunity to write a Palitoy wiki. I've of course featured Palitoy very strongly in the book but I've had to make room for lots of other stuff too. Progress on the book is slow but steady. At the moment there's no idea of when it will be released. I'll keep everyone posted.

This is the final version of the list of Palitoy products that I’ve been working on. It will be included as an appendix in my upcoming book “The Star Wars Phenomenon in Britain.” I decided not to include details of the action figure backing cards and to instead simply mention which wave the...

Thanks for sharing such great memories. I have described experiences such as yours in the book. A lot of younger children became fans of the saga with Return of the Jedi – a great deal more than did with The Empire Strikes Back. Return of the Jedi has been criticized for failing the older fans...

Thanks for the tip. Mark posted pictures of the Palitoy Poster Art Set and 3D Poster Art Set. I replied to his post in case anyone has any further information.

Has anyone found evidence of the Kenner Poster Set (Playnts set) being released in Palitoy packaging? Or perhaps it was released in the U.K in Kenner packaging. It was included in the 1978 Palitoy trade catalogue. This is one of the last niggling things I need for an appendix in my book on...

Thanks for the info. I've included the Double Bill promotional brochure in the book, along with all of the dates it played nationally. I haven't been able to track down many original adverts for the local showings though. I'll have to see what turns up.

The contents have never been removed and are exactly how they were placed in the box at the factory. I was half expecting to see the figures on folded cards but they are sealed in baggies.

Thanks. Please note - I'm considering whether or not to sell the Play Pack.

I moved home fairly recently and I've had the chance to look at some items that have not seen the light in a very long time. I uncovered my POTF Hoth Rescue Play Pack and found that it has remained untouched and unpacked since I bought it back in 1985! This is a piece that I might be...
