Hey Frank

I know it's work in progress at the mo, but great what your doing really interesting. I take it DSD is quite rare :?:

 

[Frunkstar]

Yeah the DSD is pretty tough to come by in any baggie TBH, almost on par with the PD & many thanks, glad its proving of interest to you, I keep chipping away at it, but its a huge undertaking & really not easy with so little known about none Kenner issued baggies, plus the fact that (IMO) not every US issued baggie is covered by the SWCA baggie guide.

& the bit I am doing now is easy compared to the Multi-pack bit :lol:

Here's a better pic of the Popy, let me know if I should do another:

 

[Djbighair]

Frank going through my baggies I have a few not listed so far.... How do you want pictures, info etc...

 

[Frunkstar]

Thanks Jorn, that one is spot on! huge thanks

@ Rich, on here is fine or via pm, alternatively you can email stuff over buddy.

Please do keep it coming guys.

Can you all have a look at the Han solo section & give me your thoughts on the SW-b pin head, you will see I have just added a bit of info after being prompted by Scott - huge thanks for all your help so far BTW Scott, the long & the short of it being when I first got it I thought it may be a Palitoy, but other collectors said no, so I had it down as a Kenner issue, after posting it, Scott suggested that the text is not the same as the above SW-b large head & here we go again, I am now again leaning toward it being a palitoy, be good if this could be proved.

Got a few multipack pics too,not many but lmk if/when you want them.

 

[snaggletooth]

Some awsome baggies there Del, when you say scar on the greedo do you mean 2 or 3 here?

[**Delboy75**]

I can't remember now if it was a raised scar or deep, i sold it a long time ago now.

 

[snaggletooth]

No worries Dell, its a real shame you sold all your baggies mate but at least you still have pictures, thanks for sharing 8)

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Awesome baggies there Del 8)

 

[poncho]

hey frank! wanting too tap your baggie knowlegde. about say 7-8 years ago i came across this i paid £5 for it, its a r2d2 baggie (soft bag, tape sealed well it was....the tape was yellow and was degrading and just hanging on when i recieved it and after a few feels of the baggie the taped cracked off i have taken figure out and is mint the blue on the dome is shiny new and put back in the bag and has been put in storage untill now 8) .....anyway i was wondering if you could tell me more on this baggie type so i can label it for my inventory lol...
it has not got kenner on the bag so is it palitoy? i got it from the uk the baggie has 2 small circle holes about 3 mils at bottom of the baggie on front and back

 

[Frunkstar]

So embarrassing my own thread & I forget to get back to it.

thank you so much for posting those pictures up Del, they will be of great help buddy, as you continued help always is buddy, must get my thumb out & get on with the guide, sadly my pc went tit's up & I have only just got it sorted & accessed my photos again (big thanks to Andy for that)

Poncho - yes its a palitoy-a baggie, the vent holes are factory punch holes for venting the plastics that allow the plastics to de gas, nice baggie & what a bargain to boot, dam shame the tape has come un stuck, mind if I add it to the guide when I get to R please??

sure of course , so too clarify its a palitoy (a) type baggie?. so pardon my ignorance im assuming this r2 could of been from a palitoy multipack or factory overstock that wasnt carded

 

[Frunkstar]

overstock/woolies 8 pack or pilfered from the factory by an employee

 

[aussiejames]

Bump :wink:

 

[Frunkstar]

Yeah yeah I know will get my thumb out & get on with it soon as I get time, you know summer is short this side of the pond so you have to get the whole years outdoor work done in a month :lol:

 

[snaggletooth]

What about this one Frank, are they both Palitoy-q's?

Palitoy-q

 

[Frunkstar]

They are indeed Scott, but note that the heat seals are apposed in them, another interesting bit of info that I had not spotted on them before, so goes to show the guy on the heat seal machine was a drinker or smoker :lol:

 

[timbo72]

Havent seen the thread before, the baggie info is great Frank. Im looking for the esb Bwing pilot with the taped gun in the funny place

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Great Update Frank!

 

[Grant_C]

Employee TFP Baggie with weapon error. Tape Sealed

 

[Frunkstar]

Thanks Guys, going to try to get the other couple of figures wrapped up today & start adding the others here & there to the ones already covered, huge thanks for the Tie pilot baggie photo Grant, will get him on later to

 

[Frunkstar]

All figures now on the guide, still a few baggies to add from Del & as you all know it will be an ongoing project.

Single figure mailers all covered I think thanks to the constant help & support of Mike (Huge thanks Mike).

Next up with be the start of the early issue multi-packs but this is going to take a LOT of time & effort to make complete with not all MP's even being known to still exist, so please do bear with me as I coordinate with the other guys helping me out on this.

Gone rather quiet on the discussion side of things guys - tell me I am not wasting my time.

 

[Grant_C]

Your not wasting your time Frank.

There's a lot to take in.

Great job. 8)

 

[Frunkstar]

Thanks Grant, someone does care :lol:
