Weird tale about this recent purchase.
Back in 1990 myself, Lee Bullock and another collector called Jon attended Stoke Toyfair (when Stoke had a toyfair). Jon had bought along his 12" Boba Fett doll complete with mint box and even the original Palitoy catalogue mailer. He first offered it to us for £35 but we both passed on it. He ended up trading it with a dealer for a MIB Tie Interceptor. The dealer then told me that he could get £100 for it as it had the mailer - I thought he was on meth. For years I kicked myself for not buying it.

Anyway, this is the only time I've ever seen this mailer with the Fett, neither has Lee and he's seen 99.9% of 12" stuff!

So I came across this listing for an ESB Fett complete with mailer. Bought it and asked the seller where he got it from, 'a toyfair about 20 years ago' - which kind of ties in. Then I receive it and send pics to Jon to see what he thought - it couldn't, could it?!

Yep, seems it could be the very same one according to Jon :) So after 25 odd years, I finally get to own it :)

Bill, That DSD is a true gem for any variant collector. Why the chrome seems to rub off these so easily is a mystery, but here's a photo of the raised bar COO on my example to show people what makes them so special !!

To add even more randomness to the mix in my collection (and I thought that bubblebath bottles were my limit).. Here's an uncut printed sheet of Ewok Plush labels, double sided. Verified by Christian and Mattias as being a genuine known item.

Bloomin big sheet so God only knows how I'll mount it and display it, but to my eye it really is a lovely thing :D

So it was you that did the deal first! :lol:
I saw that and sent Rich McClean a PM as I know he's a big Ewok fan. By the time he picked up the PM it had finished with no bids. He sent the seller a message but you must've beat him to it. Great item and well done.

Funny story, I watched it for the whole week, PC crashed with about 30 seconds to go and I thought my bid had posted, so thought I'd won, but when my PC came back to life, it showed it had closed with no bids indeed. I emailed the chap within the next 30 seconds to ask if he would set-up a BIN, he did and sold my way a minute later. Close call! :eek:
