Glue sealed Dagobah playset

[Lafos]

Can anyone confirm, that there are examples of the ESB Dagobah playset, where the flaps where glued and not tape sealed.

I thought mine is tape sealed, but can´t have a look at it at the mo.

Yes, all the ones I have seen are glue sealed. I don't think I've seen any with tape seals and I'd be more suspicious of one that was tape sealed :wink:

Of course the Palitoy versions had a thin tape seal but they are a very different box.

Could you post a pic of the PAL box version ?!

I just sold a kenner AFA 1 it was glue sealed

Well my Dagobah box looks like it was tape sealed anyway!Looks like it has been that way for a while judging by the marks the tape has left on it etc!But you never know it may have been just taped up by its previous owner!

I would if I had one. Coco might have one or perhaps Spoons, Sith Smith or Marc (theguiltyone)?

There may be genuine tape sealed ones out there but it seems that the standard Kenner practice was to glue them shut. In the past I have always checked photos before buying to see if there is any evidence on the flaps to suggest a previous opening.

Here is the photo off the 1 I just sold

I just checked mine and there is no evidence to suggest that it was ever glued!The inside of the flaps have no glue marks on them or rips etc anywhere!

I've got a Pal version - it was originally taped sealed, as its covered in tape tears :evil:

Hey Lafos,

Here are a few pics of mine from Lando's Locker:-

Both are opened at one end but are still factory sealed with glue at the other.

Hope this is helpful :wink:

P.S If you like I can take better pics of the end? Let me know.

 

[Ron]

what all playsets or vehicles where glue sealed

It's a totally different box from the Kenner one - there is a tab that locks shut

Guys, thanks for the pics.

How rare is this Palitoy version ?

no problem - I never thought the pal version was very rare, but I struggled to find any for sale on ebay

 

[Darth Wensleydale]

They aren't that rare but many are incomplete and good ones seem to fetch high prices. The boxes are a bit more fragile than the Kenner ones. Try finding a sealed one :wink:

 

[Ron]

I think finding any palitoy playset or vehicle sealed would be a struggle

Not common here in the states at all.

 

[Lafos]

To be honest, I didn´t know all the years, that there was a Palitoy variation.

Now that I know, none is on the market.
