T&Cs please read:

- Payment is via PayPal Friends and Family, or add 4% to the combined cost of the purchase plus postage.
- Initially, offers will not be considered and postage will not be thrown in for free, as I believe the price is fair to start with.
- Postage will be at cost, but will be sent by Royal Mail. I refuse to use Hermes and the like as I want it to arrive in one piece.
- More info and photos available on request.
- It will be sent extremely well protected and (if you wish it - and I always do) fully insured.


Thank you and good luck!


Kenner Kenner 'Turret & Probot' Playset - £155

This set is complete with a good box, has no missing parts or stickers, has the instruction sheet and, hardest to find of all, also has the elusive inner packaging.

As I always like to do when selling vintage items, I will list the faults with the set as I see them, as that's the quickest and most honest way of doing things:

i) A bit of shelf wear and some tape removal marks to the box.
ii) A small puncture hole on one side of the box where the Probot's stand has pierced it due to no inner being used at the time (in the 2nd 'O' of 'PROBOT', as shown in the 2nd picture below, and a close-up shot in the 7th pic). I acquired it like that from Jim Stevenson many years ago, and only subsequently tracked down an inner for it many years later.
iii) The Probot's stand is very slightly bent at the base (but still supports the Probot just fine).
iv) One end of the box is slightly faded.
v) There's a small water mark / stain on the inner packaging.
vi) The T&P white plastic base has a few faint marks which really aren't that noticeable, but I feel I should mention them.

Otherwise the set is really sound. All parts, pieces and stickers are present, and the action mechanism still works correctly. The Probot is in lovely condition.

This set displays brilliantly, and indeed has been my main collection example for many years. I am only parting with it now as I have managed to upgrade to a Palitoy set and I don't have room to display both sets.

I always enjoy reading your for sale posts, Jeremy. Good luck with the sale.
 
Great sale, if only I had the spare cash. This will sell quickly.
 
Looks like this was just flipped on Facebook. [mention]Snaketibe[/mention] Jeremy, are you able to confirm it was bought by [mention]starwars00[/mention] ?

Thanks

Carl

Just for the record, I can confirm that Luke did buy this, however I can also confirm that £20 of the profit from the resale has kindly been donated to Jez's Running Stormtrooper Fund. Luke has kindly explained to me why he needed to sell the playset again so quickly after buying it, and his reasons seem sound to me, and therefore I do not personally regard this as an example of flipping.

Thanks Jeremy, yes this has now been cleared up. We generally do not support the practice of 'flipping' but as there was no rule in place when this happened, and also Luke has explained himself, it is now all good.
