Comprehensive Guide to Baggies - Discussion (Hopefully)

[Frunkstar]

So it that for sure the only baggy type that came with that mailer?

UNCONFIRMED - there was a later multi figure mail in offer during the ROTJ era, when the toy line was in decline, Dengar was offered,though no confirmed example exists to check, though it is considered (speculation) that the Palitoy-a or b baggie were sent out in a plain white mailer box without a code,like it's earlier ESB era counterpart, also many were sold off as dead stock & offered via the QVC shopping channel in a grey padded envelope, these were Palitoy-a baggies - this info is awaiting inclusion on the guide.

Very sorry for the delayed reply, had not spotted it SOJ

major update to the baggie guide with the inclusion of all known meccano red sticker (free figure offer).

Also a few exclusions, soon to be many more due to new thoughts on recent events, so at least Mr Glanville has done us a service - making us a hell of a lot more critical & vigilant :? :|

Also will be adding a new Keneer classification (SW-f) & others soon to follow as well as a new U.S /Canadian issued baggies guide - a work in progress, a link to it will be added to the first post of the main baggie guide soon as work begins :wink:

Great work on this Frank, do you ever sleep

The close up on the fonts, just shows how small differences can make a difference, a cursory glance is not enough :!:
Fantastic work bud, brilliant reference for baggie boys

You get enough sleep when you're dead mate

Thanks for the input buddy, be nice to get a few opinions on the general layout & format it's presented in, hope everyone finds it easy enough to navigate & it shows ok on tablets & mobiles etc

Be great to get a little feedback on it, as I can only improve it if I know there's a problem folks.

ROTJ era section has just been added to the Kenner guide guys.

Looking good frank ; )

Just thought that i would add that dengar did come with a PALITOY b (mihk) baggie in the same box above guess you could call it a transitional baggie as from then on they used PALITOY b baggies on ackbar and 4 lom which were the next mailers to be promoted after dengar

Frank more great work as always on the baggie front(s) I don't know how you get all the time nevermind make sense of it all :lol:

Well done though and im sure will be of great help and use to many collectors.

Reading through some of the recent additional work Frank, massively informative.

The Fakes section on Heat sealed and Tape sealed " what to look for" is invaluable.

I think in varying degrees we are all guilty of looking at a potential by through " rose tinted glasses" as it may be a piece we have been looking for a while, a specific pieces to add to a run etc and we get over excited, the baggie guide is a resource we can use to keep our eagerness in check and allows the benefit of checklist ing our potential buy.

I'm finding it easy enough to use ( if I can anyone can :roll: ) detailed and great pics.

Love the recent MP piece 8)

Great stuff Frank you a baggie legend keep up the great work bud

Agree with the above post I've bought a couple of baggies over the last couple weeks and found this guide very helpful in what to look out for .

Just a quick mention on here to say that a new section has just been created for the Q.C sign off cards due to image space limitations, these have been moved from their previous location to their own section which can be found just above the final post on page 6, post 114.

I have also been going through & making a few additions & alterations over the past week or so & am slowly trawling through it all to get it up to date, most of the fakes in the main body of the guide have now also been removed & transferred to the correct section to tidy things up a bit, a few further sections still need to be added to both the comprehensive as well as the other 2 guides (Non Kenner & Kenner).

Please as always - if you have anything as yet undocumented, do get in touch so it can be looked into - many thanks!

 

[Michael Sith]

Massively appreciated Frank, I refer to the guide as a bible for baggies!

 

[Frunkstar]

Thanks Mike appreciate the kind words & so glad it's of use for you.

You may want to have another look as I've just created a new section with previously never documented PBP baggies

 

[Michael Sith]

Just had a look ..very nice indeed!

PBP baggies that's a turn up and interesting addition to the baggie guide, there's a world within a world on this guide! Something new every time I take a look

 

[Frunkstar]

Thanks Mike, I still have a few sections to construct, slowly slowly but getting there

 

[Frunkstar]

New section just added to the comprehensive guide page 6 sections 116 & 117

This covers the Kenner replacement parts program "We Really Do Care"

 

[Frunkstar]

& another section now up - factory error baggies, more one for a bit of a look at what oddities are floating about rather then a serious reference, but something I've appreciated for a long time & wanted to cover in a a bit more detail, nice to have a section dedicated to the obscure.

Also a good few additions to the we really do care section

 

[Michael Sith]

The we really do care is a great addition the images of all the replacement packs of weapons is a sight !

The Dengar with 2 left arms is a great one on the error baggies !
