Lando ESB palitoy 41 back

[Woolyniner]

I'm putting together a bit of a Lando collection. I would love to have a palitoy ESB Lando 41 back moc and I've been trying to find out how this would cost. However, I can't find any data on this off ebay. Has anybody got a feel how this would sell for these days?

Not sure about Lando , however got a nice Han Bespin for £600

 

[Woolyniner]

Blimey :shock:

Those Kenner ESB Landos suddenly look alot more appealing.

Lando is super tough on a palitoy 41bk - I think you'd need to pay £1000 at least. Han Bespin is common in comparison.

One sold on vectis last month.

 

[Woolyniner]

Thanks for the replies, are the palitoy 30 or 45 backs any easier to find?

 

[maxf]

A 30bk will be much easier to get. I'm not sure Ive ever seen a 45a bk!

 

[Woolyniner]

Thanks Maxf, I'll keep eyes out for one of those.

Nice! Pretty sure I have only seen one or two other 45a Landos :!:

Yes I saw this one, they went for £850!!!! My max bid was £260!!! Whoever won them is going to be really fed up. The condition is nowhere near as good as they look in the pic. They both have multiple creases staple holes, litho tears and very tired, Lando bubble seal not great at the bottom and Tie Pilot bubble crushed at the bottom. I had a go at the auction house and told them the description and pics were misleading. I was worried I'd bid too much as well!!

Growing up in Anglesey (essential for accent purposes) we had a saying about young ladies we sometime encountered. Think it would be appropriate to those two MOCs: "Nice from afar but far from nice".

Haha spot on.

Ohhh, if only, but way beyond my price range. Thanks for sharing the photo though

Growing up near Peterborough, we had 'baywatch/crimewatch'. Slightly less eloquent than yours

Lando is one of the Characters that is easier to get on a 30 back (a or b) than on any other Palitoy logo'd card.

I only know of 3 41 backs and 3 45a's (including the one posted above)

Of course this doesn't mean there aren't more out there and more than likely there are several more. However the same is true of the 30 back, which I think will remain the easier of the 3 Logo'd cards.

This is interesting. As he's not exactly common on any Palitoy card other than TL and even THEN he's a bit of a bugger to find. I'm not being all PC in saying this but do you think there was some kind of subliminal discrimination in the manufacturing quantities? Perhaps they thought he just wouldn't be that popular with kids?? You always find him in loose collections, that said. I can't see why he'd be so hard to find on a MOC. And yet Lando Skiff is one of the easiest. I guess because it was such a damned cool figure.

Thanks for the reply, there was a 30bk at Celebration but he wanted £600. I did however get one with the name cut out, and bubble cut along one side for not much money. On display the bubble is not an issue unless you look close, obviously the missing name is pretty much staring at me . But it will do for now 8).

My childood Lando has white teeth so it must have been a 41 or 45a.

Maybe he is hard to find because he sold really well instead of not being made in big quantities? After all by the end of ESB he was one of the new core heroes and there was only type of figure for him till Jedi?

I've found the TL easier fo find than the ESB palitoy, I bought one, and more have appeared since. Must admit my Jedi one is a kenner and I've not seen a palitoy one yet, but Kenner was common in the UK at that point, I think.....
