[QUOTE="Frunkstar, post: 218301, member: 314"] [size=7][color=#00FF00]8D8[/color][/size] Dedicated to Joe [ATTACH=full]128712[/ATTACH] [color=#FF0000]Pali[/color][color=#0080FF]toy[/color]-i (open bag) [color=#FFFF00]PHOTO COURTESY OF - Kevin Bletsoe[/color] Under normal circumstances I do NOT include open baggies in the guide, BUT due to the fact that these Palitoy-i's have been encountered on numerous occasions in this fashion, both on their own with mint figures & accessories as well as no tape residue on the baggies whatsoever & also in sealed woolies 8 packs, I have to assume that they were found both open & in tape sealed formats. [ATTACH=full]128713[/ATTACH] ESB-c [ATTACH=full]128714[/ATTACH] Euro-a [ATTACH=full]128715[/ATTACH] Euro-a - same as above, but with the inclusion of the Meccano red sticker (free figure offer) [ATTACH=full]128716[/ATTACH] [size=5][color=#FF0000]UNCONFIRMED[/color][/size] baggie knotted baggie, there were several of these available around 2006/7 time & I took a chance on them after seeing so many of the same figure/baggie combo, they are in a Palitoy-i baggie, but are knotted rather than tape sealed, I can only assume that either A - they are fake B - & IMO simply a case of the factory being out of tape on a day & going ahead with the run & knotting them as not to hold up the production line. I know - I know, a lot will simply scratch these off as not legitimate baggies, but bear in mind the fact that back when these were being made they were never considered to be collectible or likely to be staying in the baggies, so may well be just a production glitch, I am NOT endorsing these as legitimate in ANY way, only stating my opinion, but consider this - if indeed a fake - why bother??, not an expensive figure baggie combo in the first place & where would they have found the cardboard parts for the legs?, it would make little sense to fake this one IMHO. [color=#FF0000]EDIT 21/9/15[/color] - due to new information, the find of non sealed Palitoy-i baggies from kevin B, I looked back at this baggie again closely & IMO I think this is indeed a Palitoy-i baggie which has been knotted shut, so assuming many of the Palitoy-i's came unsealed, this would add weight to the argument that this is indeed an authentic baggie :) There are the circle on hip variations out there if you wanted to go for completeness, I however decided not to go down that route, but have seen circle on both hips/circle on left hip & no circles variations.
