I contacted about this a while back and thought BBC Midlands would get a programme about Palitoy in general terms but NO we're getting a national programme about Palitoy and Star Wars. Oh and a longer version of the last, very good, BBC4 SW doc...

I daresay everyone knows about this and I'm late to the party, but the Collecting Track people from this year's Celebration have uploaded pro quality videos of many, many panels. But in case anyone missed out like I nearly did, here's the link...

In wondering how you guys deal with 12 inchers with balance issues. I've recently set aside some space to display the big guys I've been collecting on the side and am finding that Fett and Vader are so top heavy that I'm wedging then in corners like shrieking violets when I'd like them up...

I acquired this programme which coincided with the UK release of Star Wars. Arena Cinema seemed to focus on one film for the main part of show them have other reviews etc toward the end. There's some behind the scenes stuff in here I haven't seen elsewhere too. https://youtu.be/ALjEf-tQNWc

The mention, on the VR podcast, of Paploo appearing alongside mainstream characters on some German merchandise got me thinking about over-representation of Klaatu. Now, I have a theory about the Paploo thing. Kenny Baker's Ewok ( now Paploo ) was supposed to be our leading Ewok character until...

I'm looking for some help, please. I've had a Pali Death Star sitting boxed up for some time waiting on me finding the space. After some recent re-jigging, I'm getting there. I'm wanting to put it on a table and under a perspex dome and I'm looking for its diameter and height. By the way, the...

skimo1 from France just sent me stinking feedback claiming I didn't send him a small item ( a Kenner Collections catalog for a fiver ) and that I'm to be avoided. In the real world: he told me he never got it so I assumed it lost so I gave him a full refund without him needing to claim. Don't...

I fancy a boxed ROTJ TIE Fighter; the battle damaged one. It doesn't have to be a mint box, in fact slightly beaterish things are fine by me. Ta, Declan.

Here's a video I found on my harddrive, saved from the BBC site. It's a clip from Nationwide about SW merch and includes those Glaswegian mallows discussed here a short time ago. Now we see what was in that box. https://youtu.be/E_xMA2TAjBI

I posted this elsewhere then figured I should do so here as there's SW content within. I acquired four off-air episodes of Tiswas that all had the adverts in. Being from the latter part of the year, it's nearly all vintage toys. I've edited them together and put the four batches into a...

What's the deal with the Palitoy slick seals? I think I'm right in saying that a lot of ROTJ MOCs don't display the waffle pattern on the seal. Are there any rules for this i.e. certain cardback types? I've got a slick Bib and I know he's not on the Toni ****-list, and he's not a square...

Does anyone else remember these things? They were colouring-in posters which were, according the little info I can find, released in 1977 by Harley Coptic in the States. I remember getting the very same design as a stocking filler in the early 80s. I'm torn between remembering mine coming...

I'm interested to know what Kenner cards made it onto UK pegs during the vintage years. I don't remember noticing Kenner cards until well into the ESB era. They were very commonplace here during ROTJ. It's the Kenner cards I associate with the second wave of ROTJ, rather than the Tri-logos...

I may have done something...rather rash. i can't seem to access Echo Base on Facebook for the past 24 hours. I'm thinking I've been banned, although I received no notification and - being a generally polite chap - I've never been banned from anywhere. I was at a loss as to why but I may have...

It's ' what happens to your collection when you die' time again. I don't have kids and my beneficiaries are daft enough to sell my collection to Harry The Bastard for 250 quid. So, I want to leave it to charity. I've seen charities list vintage SW on EBay properly in the past - as properly as...

I'm not a massive MOC collector but I enjoy having a range of examples from throughout the line. I'm a budget collector with a liking of beater cardbacks. What is missing from my collection is a branded Palitoy MOC ( so anything up to a 45c). Does anyone have any beaters they are wanting to...

I'm an absolute bugger for filming locations. I can't rave about this video enough. This guy has lined up then-and-now shots perfectly. He even lines up shots from the Hoth battle which is have thought were impossible until now. It's an hour long and, IMO, worth a serious look...

This looks utterly ace. Star Wars at the BBC Peter Serafinowicz digs into the BBC’s archive to find the biggest Star Wars actors and characters from the Seventies appearing on shows like Blue Peter, Pebble Mill and Ask Aspel. The footage, most of which hasn’t been seen since its original...

We've probably all seen the BBC clip filmed at Palitoy circa 1982, but this one here is a new one on me. Courtesy of ABC news, here's some footage of Kenner boxing our favourite space toys. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/line-star-wars-toys-1978/story?id=33479285

This was touched upon in another thread and it amused me a lot and I'm sure there's more. What Star Wars porkies did you hear from over-imaginitive, or bullshitting, school friends back in the day? In the other thread we had the travelling dad who brought home a Luke Bespin with removable...
