    Latest Acquisitions

    I’d like to share the latest addition to my collection, a true ‘holy grail’ piece for me, and one that has really excited and enthused me. The snowy Hoth scenes in The Empire Strikes Back are among my favourite parts of the saga, and in all of the behind the scenes footage and photos, the...

    RIP Jeremy Bulloch

    Such sad news. I knew Jeremy well, such a lovely, gentle, kind and funny man, he was so generous with his time in support of our charity fundraising activities. So many great memories, he’ll be deeply missed. Thoughts to Maureen and his family.

    Where to post?

    I agree - it looks like the Vader action figure case. As I see it there may be 2 possible answers. 1 - it is a moulded ‘buck’ piece used to produce the original cases, at Kenner (in the US) or Palitoy (in the UK), in which case it could be worth into the £1000’s. 2 - it is a fan produced...

    Anyone else having a vintage drought?

    I’ve more or less finished my carded run - need a few upgrades but I’m in no hurry - so I haven’t bought a MOC this year. I’m buying much more Beyond the Toys and Cast & Crew gear, and haven’t found that to be in short supply - there have been some great pieces on both ebay and FB and I’m...

    Space efficient (and cheaper) alternative to Star Cases

    I haven’t bought the action figure cases yet - Star Cases will do for now as I have plenty of those - but I do like the Deflector DC vehicle / playset cases. They’re not as good as acrylic but they look good on display, and most importantly for me, provide great protection to fragile boxes at a...

    Mini Rigs

    Fantastic run Jon. I do have a soft spot for these, loved mine as a kid - especially MLC-3 ad INT-4. Never did like PDT-8 though!

    Empire Strikes Back European Premiere Programme and Ticket

    One to auction I’d suggest. The programme should be £150 to £200 in good condition (there’s one on eBay at £245 at present, which hasn’t sold)...

    Just received these Palitoy General Sales Division and Retail Sales Division 1979 retailer catalogues to go with the price list that I already had . The Star Wars content is great (prototypes!) but there's lots of other vintage Palitoy goodness in there as well - a snapshot of a 70s childhood...
