is your one vintage?

All the ones I've ever seen have grey blasters, and in that condition I think Gustie would be lucky to get more than £5.

I beleive yours is from the Micro line from 1982.

Don't worry about it Jedi83 , I'd no idea Diecast existed when I started collecting, or indeed, when I started posting on here.
You learn something new everyday, even if most of it is to do with Coo markings and variants! :lol:

 

[Jedi83]

Yep still learning all the time. Please can somebody explain what die cast is :?:

It's a type of production technique. It just means the metal was poured into a mould - just like the matchbox cars,

There were a range of mini ships released back in the day, the TIE bomber is the only rare one (although there is a Darth Vader Tie with small wings that's rare too).

This is all of them minus the bomber

and the speeder on its card

 

[Jedi83]

Ahh I see. Thanks for the explanantion spoons. And what do these go for? How much is the Tie Bomber?

 

[spoons]

No problem

You can pick up all the loose ships for £5-£20 depending on condiiton, and the TIE bomber goes from £50-£100 loose.

I've been building up a carded collection, and they've cost me between £25 and £40 pounds each (and some of those were graded).

Palitoy ones cost a bit more, as do ESB cardbacks but there not very popular so they're very cheap

My Takara TIE was only £25

The boxed ones cost a bit more, I've seen a resealed TIE bomber go for £200, and MIB £500ish???, but I bought these three for £120

jedi83 - i like the troop transporter you got there


i want to find both variants loose.

is yours a palitoy one?

 

[Jedi83]

They look really smart spoons. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the explanation too

Hi Gustie, hmm palitoy? I am not too sure, I will have a look tonight. Its the one with the electronic sounds. It still has its celaphane wrapping on.

 

[gustie]
