    Thanks for the comments. I was actually susprised this figure didn't receive some 90 subs. I thought I had a disaster on my hands when the box was delivered..... Thankfully all the contents were okay.

    palitoy 12 backs

    I only ever wanted the first 12 palitoy...... I did own a 20 back luke x-wing and a power droid and have had countless opportunities to buy the rest of the 20 backs but they never did anything for me. Over the past 8-10 years I could have got 3 or 4 of each 20 back with guys emailing me ones for...

    Palitoy Proof Cards

    I was told at the time that quite a few made there way via Jim Stevenson and Jason Joiner through to Final frontier toys into the states, who at the time were the only sources of palitoy carded figures. Remember this was before the internet and these guys had the market sewn up.........Large...

    Palitoy Proof Cards

    Approximately half of my palitoy 12 back set came from a collector in California via Brian Rachfal in the mid 90's.The 12 back chewbacca cost me £200 then (probably as Brian took his cut). He sent me a list of about 20-30 available palitoy carded figures which included 20, 30 , 41 and 45...

    AFA grading off figures behind bubbles

    If there is deterioration in the plastic used in the figure, that can mark down the figure grade (usually seen as a slight difference in the colour of the arms and legs.), not just the paint work. Also I had a kenner 12 back leia that received an 80 sub on the figure because the gun and tape had...

    IS THIS REALLY WORTH THAT MUCH?

    I had quite a large carded collection until about last year. As I am getting older :roll: I decided to sell up most of the things I had and keep a few select pieces, just the things I liked the most. All my collection was stored in boxes and never saw the light of day. I had kenner 12 backs...

I have been at this collecting lark for quite a while (early 90's) and when you see some pieces making big prices you gotta sit up and take notice.... I bought this early bird set ungraded in 1995.The guy I bought it from actually opened it...

    IS THIS REALLY WORTH THAT MUCH?

    Hi, I'm new to this forum but always have looked in now and again.... I am the seller of the early bird set being discussed. This is from my personal collection and I don't really want to sell but this kinda changed my mind.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230203484769...
