    Vintage Die Cast Tie Bomber

    Around the time I bought mine, I was led to believe the Tie Bomber was only trialed in three US States and was not available anywhere else. Theswca say was a test market of 75,000. This seems a disputed fact. Someone on one website who claims to own two bought at Toys R Us in 1980 states "As it...

    SWTOTW, Week 10, 2018, Part 1/2 Biker Scout Laser Pistol

    Here is mine. The Kenner catalog pages also make it look very cool. I always thought this was a underrated toy. I did a post about it http://retrotoyinfo.co.uk/tag/biker-scout-laser-pistol/

    No luck but am I being ripped off?

    I show you pictures of my genuine MOC 20 back. It might help. The pictures are slight blurry. As been said before, the paint on the hands is not normal.

    SWTOTW, Week 6, 2018, Part 1/2 Imperial Attack Base

    My is mint in box, I wanted best example I could find. The accessories sealed in bags. I am in two minds about this playset. In the box it looks nice. Loose and when it gets discoloured or dirty, it just looks like an unsightly lump of plastic. I like the little playset features, where you...

    SWTOTW, Week 5, 2018, Part 2/2 Jann Tosh

    Any of my star wars I have sold I regret, but have had to for financial reasons. I have even had to sell star wars items to pay my rent in the past.

    SWTOTW, Week 5, 2018, Part 2/2 Jann Tosh

    The 'book' is the Kenner 1986 toy fair catalog. I think you were offered the same Vlix as me :lol: which I also turned down. The Kenner Canada card fronts were rather curious. They were truly generic in that not even the name of the figure was printed. Like the Glasslite fronts, the Kenner...

    SWTOTW, Week 5, 2018, Part 2/2 Jann Tosh

    I am very fond of the Droids series. The figures were also released by Kenner Canada in Bi-lingual text and some by Glasslite in Brazil. Added interest to the Droids series figures includes the cross over to include Boba Fett, the last 17 A-Wing pilot, new versions of C-3PO and R2-D2, the...

    Is Star Wars only for the rich ?

    My genuine sealed 12 back carded Leia would not have cost me more than £100, I bought it around 2002 I think

    RotJ yellow bubbles

    I do appreciate your podcast, and realise there are complex reasons behind the yellowing. I could also hear you were trying to simplify as much as possible for the listener. I don't think you failed as you couldn't have done it any better, and I am sure it was very helpful to the star wars...

    Is Star Wars only for the rich ?

    I used to sell my Bend-Ems carded figures at boot sales for £1 each, maybe I was charging too much :lol:

    Is Star Wars only for the rich ?

    I think it is a question of what do you consider as being rich? More than 16 million people in the UK have savings of less than £100 from a study by the Money Advice Service (MAS). They would obviously struggle. When millions are worrying about where their next meal is coming from, anybody who...

    POTF Planetary Maps ?

    There was three different maps, The Death Star; Endor, the Sanctuary Moon; The Planet Tatooine. They were inside those five toys as you say. As far as I know, you could find any of the three maps in any of the five toys. My side gunner box shows how the map was advertised as inside. The maps...
