No its fine mate, my thoughts on these baggies are pretty clear for all to read on Rs.
There was apparently going to be a poft U.S mailer, but it never materialised.
The poft palitoy baggies are completely different.
When the SW fad was coming to an end woolworth sold pre packed sets of 8 figures for 99p.
Some of these bags contained loose figures, some contained a mixture of loose and bagged and some contained just baggies. Loose figures were more common, but i actually bought some packs back in the day containing baggies.
Now a small amount of these packs contained poft figures, but they are extremely rare.
Figures were shipped to palitoy in individual baggies, these baggies would be opened and the figures put on card.
(I was told this info by a former palitoy employee, and then only today a spanish collector on Tig said a former meccano employee confirmed the same thing)
Now as you could imagine when the star wars craze died down palitoy were left with lots of figures to shift.
Some were loose (already removed from their baggies awaiting to be carded) and some would of been still in baggies.
Woolworths back then were a major outlet for SW, so they ran the 8 figures for 99p promotion.
The 8 figures were packed by palitoy in a larger bag,and had a cardboard sleeve. They were shipped to woolies in a larger box and then woolworths added the price sticker in store.
Every bag was completely random, but the majority contained rotj figures.
I was a huge fan of these as a kid, my local woolies had huge amounts of them and me and a friend would open them up in store and make our own 8 pks up lol.
The one on ebay right now is NOT one of these palitoy baggies.
