I may be wrong, but I think Vaders Tie Fighter is the rarest Palitoy die cast, several people obviously wanted it to complete a set. I was more surprised at the Imperial Cruiser, arguably the most common die cast ship yet sold for £600 (800+ with commission). As for the 'Toy hunter' who knows...

I remember seeing this on Rebelscum a few years ago (at least I presume it's the same one) in the valuation thread. Wasn't graded then, but I don't recall what valuations were given. It's a nice example, if you can live with that crease of course. I very much doubt it will sell for £5000, maybe...

Like everyone else said, wow! Fantastic collection.

Came home from work yesterday to find 2 parcels waiting for me, My Hammerhead from Vectis, and another for the Greedo run, a nice 45 back off ebay. I love it when 2 items you are waiting for arrive on the same day!

Apart from the film itself, the worst thing about TPM was the fact that while most of the world got to see it in May '99, we had to wait until July. By then it was all over the news just how bad it was, so I went into the cinema that day knowing it sucked. Had I not been forewarned, would I have...

The mind boggles when you think how much Phantom Menace merchandise they dumped on us. Much of it now stored in lofts, basements and garages the world over. Even in another 50 years it'll all still be worthless. I've lost count how often a well meaning friend will offer me an Episode 1 talking...

It was fun, the summer of 1999. Every shop on the high street had lifesize cardboard Darth Mauls and Jar Jars staring back at you, I remember the day of the solar eclipse buying a load of the figures from my local newsagent. Everything seemed great, but then I ruined it by going to see it. :?

Great to see those Marc, thanks for posting. To think they were almost thrown away!

I won the Hammerhead, overpaid for sure (especially with fees on top) but I don't mind too much. Can't believe that Greedo though, amazing! :o

Amazing Palitoy collection! Thanks for sharing. :D :D :D

I quite like them, there were a few that were really annoying but they haven't posted in ages. And I always look forward to what Todd will come up with next.

Yeah, looks so much better with avatars back on the left, thanks Edd and well done. :D

Yes, total agreement here - if it's possible the Avatars need to go back to the left side. I can live with everything else, but they just look wrong on the right side.

I'll always watch the OT when they are on television, rarely if ever watch the prequels. Often I get the urge to watch Star Wars or Empire so will pop in the DVD (original editions only), Jedi I watch less frequently. So all 3 OT films maybe 4 or 5 Times a year. Like others, I often watch the...

I'm sure I'll get used to it, but everything is so small and hard to read, especially on my tablet. The photo resizing is a great feature as those giant photos pissed me off also. As others say though, a couple of weeks and we'll have forgotten the old format.

The whole system stinks, it's just money, money, and more money. And now opening figures to check for drugs? If that was really the case then it's ****ing outrageous. I've missed out on many items because I won't buy from sellers who insist on using it, the one time I did I came home from work...

Absolutely gorgeous looking items, as expected. May 27th is going to be an interesting day, to put it mildly.

I bid on the Greedo, but was blown out of the water early on. Amazing but not surprising prices.

Vectis selling ethics aside, it's incredible how much Palitoy stuff has emerged of late, all New to the market. We've got the Beeches shop stuff, the Palitoy reps hoard, the figures from the Sheffield auction now on eBay and the Denhams 12 backs (which I was totally unaware of - shows how much I...

I'd love that, but only if I like TFA. If it's Phantom Menace again then no thanks. But yeah, a great (and of course cheap) way of reliving childhood memories.
