Original vintage 1978 Palitoy Radio Controlled R2D2. Includes inserts and Palitoy instructions. Just wondering on a rough value. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Fair point Chris

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370809392451?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D370809392451%26_rdc%3D1#ht_763wt_993

So assuming, it has all its parts and is fully working, how about £50 posted?

Thanks James.

I actually thought Kenner ones would get $50 & the Pali twice that.....

Hi Jamie

I Read your posts. surprised at tha ebay sale!

Phew, sorry, thought I had got my invisibility cloak on there for a minute.

I know someone who has a couple of these which are unplayed with in mint boxes and I think he payed about £60 each for them.

I though the Pali version had a light brown/yellowish kind of box. Surprised there's another version. Cool. 8)

Apologies for hi-jacking your thread, Jeff!

Emiel, I can confirm that I had this very same full colour Palitoy box for my radio controlled R2, got it for Christmas in 1978... I remember having it complete with polystyrene inserts up until about 10 years ago, but must have lost the box in a house move :? still got the little R2 unit though, thankfully! Just thought you might like a second reference for confirmation :wink:
