Nice card backs Lars!! 8)


I was lucky enough to stumble across this little beauty on Ebay last week, it's a quite rare Toltoys Special Offer Dewback. Apparently these were released in Australia only as an overstock item, the Special Offer sticker for a free stormtrooper was applied by Toltoys as a way of increasing sales.

More info can be found here:

Box is not the best but came with it's original Dewback and the Special Offer stickers are in great nick.

Enjoy

Hi guys last week I received a childhood collection from a nice guy here in Denmark.

Here is what was in the lot, as you can see there is missing a lot of weapons, figures, clothes and parts for vehicles and playset. But still a good collection :D

This was an awesome score - especially for the Last 17 and the near mint looking Leia!

That's a lot of loose Lars- instant collection and some first class MOCs Rob.

Great Yoda Ryan, one of the grails for any yoda fan.

Speaking of Ryan......I didn't mention that Ryan is.....DA MAN! 8)

Partial resealed Palitoy 12a Chewbacca. Cheers bud- I owe you one. :wink:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speechless.
 
Crikey, Ryan 8)

I've got to admit, before joining this forum I had absolutely no idea of the Dewback's existence- and being a child of the '70s (8 years of age in 1978), I can honestly say that there was no mention of said creature in any advertising here in England that I was aware of, and I certainly didn't see it on the shelves of my local toy shop haunts...

That casting eye is far too critical :wink: looks top notch to me. And the yellowing tape residue? Personally, I love it- I see it as original patina in antiquarian terms, and testament to a spot of patching up by the original owner to keep it looking the best shape it can be. I like a bit of history :lol:

You've really got me thinking, now... I'm going to click that link and head over to SWCA to research a Palitoy version :D

Nice cardbacks Lars, I shall be very unoriginal and say that Lando is indeed my favourite as well :D

Hi tim, nice lili ledy b-wing pilot, sorry to hear about the customs charge :(

Also sorry to hear you are not happy with it :(

It might grow on me Lars, just thought it might look.........Better lol

I hope it will grow on you tim, there is nothing worse than buying something and pay customs charge for something that you do not like.

We never got the Dewback over here Martin - no idea why as it doesn't look a complex toy to make or anything!

Maybe you could get Todd to make a Palitoy box for one?!
 
Aha! Thanks, Stevie 8) a real shame Palitoy didn't take it on back in the day. Still, it's a great feeling to discover something you never knew existed some 30-odd years later :D

Great idea about commissioning Todd to do a Palitoy box... he's going to be snowed under with custom orders this winter :wink:
 
Not been buying much recently due to a couple of huge purchases that'll be coming soon. Picked up this 65a Palitoy ree yees MOC today and the dulok scout came off a card in possibly the worst state I've ever seen one!
