Sooner than I thought, a-wing pilot found, just ev-9d9 to go, about 15 figures don't have weapons so will need replacing but most pretty common so all good.

Congratulations with the a-wing pilot what weapons do you need ?

 

[Webby72]

Quick count up and it's around 17 real weapons I'm missing.

Both bespin guards weapons
Yoda' cane
Leia hoth
At-at drivers and commanders
Tie fighters
Royal guards
We're quay
Biker scout
Nien nunb
Prune face cape
Paploo
Yak face
Lando general
R2's light saber
Rebel commando

Sure there is another one but can't think what it is. So still quite a few to complete properly but hopefully get there.

Mate- he ruined 3 years of my life (9-12) and was acting like Freddy, saying Freddy crazy **** like- 'take a nap' etc... :shock:

He freaked me right out!!

What a great guy. :lol:

He wasn't so creepy in V playing Willie

Sounds pretty creepy to me

I think he was good in V, I also think the new V is very bad and the old V is awesome

A big moment for me :lol: I haven't had a Palitoy cardback in my hands since... 1982. Now I've gone and purchased a lot of five from ebay, and it's sensory overload. Thanks goes to Gary and Jason for the invaluable advice before I made my bid.

Yep, the Sand People and Death Squad Commander have had their bubbles well and truly ragged off, but that makes me chuckle... there's a bit of history there, and the original recipient of either of these must have been frantic to get at that figure inside!

And you're absolutely right, Gary- just owning a piece of card with that red, white and blue logo is giving me the nostalgia hit I've been craving. I love 'em

 

[Pomse2001]

Wow Martin, that is some awesome cardbacks, love the logo

Also some great figures :wink:

I also remember them from my childhood Palitoy was also sold in Denmark

 

[Grant_C]

Ha Martin- I was watching that auction.

Great buy mate- love it!

Great to hear they were on sale in Denmark too, Lars

Ha Martin- I was watching that auction.

Great buy mate- love it!

Cheers mate, I went for this lot by way of consolation... I was bidding on the set of first 10 Palitoy cardbacks with figures from the same seller which I lost out on a few minutes earlier... I wish I'd gone higher on that one, but I'm happy with these little beauties!

 

[Spookedhippie]

Dude awesome pick up, I love the logo too, I bet you're well pleased

 

[Jez]

Great cardbacks. The best most nostalgic logo.
It's so good that the guys on here are willing to help out a fellow SWFUKer, but that's what makes this forum such a good one!
They look brilliant, and have made a decent consolation prize

 

[Michael Sith]

Martin, really pleased for you mate, I know the Palitoy logo was a big want...like bloody busses :lol:

Congratulations, sit back and drink in that visual treat whenever you want now :wink:

So ...full set now :lol: :lol:

Well done mate :wink:

 

[rob71]

Excellent win Martin, I'm happy for you mate as I know how much you've wanted to be reunited with Palitoy. As Mike says, just the full set of 12 to complete now

 

[TC-14]

Thanks guys, not a bad consolation bundle I guess- I can't stop staring at them!

The first 12? I'm already thinking about the first 20 :lol:

 

[rob71]

:lol: this hobby is like a drug for sure

Just gone through a few pages that I missed and noticed your Meccano book as well, great stuff. I'm thinking of buying this one myself now.

Nick, what can I say? 48 ASTs (and don't forget the Ewok catapults :lol: ). Hang on to them all, and the outer boxes of course.

Webby, nice display case and pleased to hear you are near your collecting goal. I'm trying to put together a complete sete of loose but at the moment I need WAY more than 2 characters.

Nice cell art Grant, and one for your new paper protector.

Lars, nice loose variations

 

[andy x-wing pilot]

Congratulations martin,
Now that your in the mood for the blue & red label you could put in a cheeky offer for the full palitoy set on ebay.
Wish I was in a position to do that.
Congrats again,
Andy
