That one is extremely desirable. and It's Palitoy....so that is a given

Never seen or heard of that sticker.

Looks more like a sticker added later from the POTF2 era.

Re issue?

Maybe a retailer added it to move the stock when ESB came out.

Mmmm.......it says 1980 on it.


Im thinking retailer, but where would they get the sticker?

It looks odd. With the touch ups I'm wondering if it is hiding something.

 

[tiefighterboy]

13 people think it is real..................so maybe I am wrong...and it is a rare piece. The sticker looks like one of the ones from a machine from back then. No Kenner trademarks on it...only lucas stuff. Strange.

[tiefighterboy]

The plot thickens................must be a retailer add on...............as MPC was not connected to kenner.

Not worth a premium.........well maybe to some.

My guess, MPC rebrand when empire was released.

 

[tiefighterboy]

So...someone peels the sticker off of an MPC model kit and applies it to the cantina box.......................In hopes of calling it rare????

I say this as we have no appearances of this on any known Kenner item.

 

[tiefighterboy]

I see they picked up on this on RS. ..................maybe it is a bootleg. :lol: :lol:

Seriously though...if a store employee placed it on the box from MPC overstock stickers....he did it with precision. :wink:
