Nice. Box only? Or with figures/baggies?

Thanks, no box only

Excellent! Where did you get it? Any provenance? Only asking, because I remember seeing a load of these in Lewis', Birmingham, when I was a kid. I had enough pocket money to buy one, but chose not to, as I already had figures from both sets. Bought an ESB Palitoy Stormie instead. Must've been imported.

Cheers mate, eBay Uk, no afraid not.

Turns out I have one! It was inside a poster tube with one of my vintage posters. I really need to do an inventory of my Star Wars collectables as they're scattered around and I'm starting to forget what I've got! I offloaded most stuff years ago but still have some select items lurking.

Yes, the poster is dated 2004 which makes my photograph almost certainly the same year. At least I now know the year I visited the Star Wars Saturday at the Entertainer toy store. My photos include a few enthusiasts in full Star Wars costumes. Thanks for the replies!

I remember getting one of these back in Xmas 81-82 so they were definitely sold in the UK.

Lovely box BTW

Yep, for sure. I remember seeing them, really well and having a good look at them. Top floor of Lewis', end of a dark, winter's day, just before closing. Don't think I ever saw them again.

Hi, I actually saw this on Evilbay after it was sold and my jaw dropped at the price it sold for - just for a BOX! I didn't realise it seemed to be a Star Wars holy grail item.
Funny that it went to someone that I 'talk' to on here. From all the other comments you must be very pleased with it, so well done

 

[StarWarsFan]

Cheers mate, yep I'm crazy lol

Big thanks to @MightyMike for getting in touch and giving me first dibs on these unpainted micro collection figures.

My favourite is the laughing snowtrooper

He probably just heard about the Acolyte being cancelled

Nice one Lars

thanks mate, I am really happy I got it. I do not have many moc with danish stickers and I have only seen a few in other collections.

Couldn't believe my eyes today! Was rummaging through a box in a local charity shop. Loads of the usual rubbish, then right at the bottom saw a Snowtrooper leg sticking up... then an AT-AT Driver... then Luke Bespin... then Ree Yees and finally a TIE Pilot! They're not in brilliant condition, but finding 5 figures in the wild was so exciting! £2.50 all in.

Well done mate very rare these days. When out for the day and found this for £5

Nice! Remember those from when I was a kid. I had the Bird of Prey from a mate who didn't want it. May still be in a box somewhere.
