Stunning bum-face! 8)

Recently managed to acquire something of a grail piece for me- so chuffed with it It's the first Star Wars item I ever owned- given to me by my Aunty when I was about 4 or 5. I didn't have a clue how to play it- I just invented my own games for it. I used to pour over it for hours- loved the pics.

When I got back into collecting a couple of years ago, this was the thing I really wanted to find, but had no idea what it was called. I started a thread on here http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25738&p=347755&hilit=star+wars+game#p347755 describing it and thankfully jedi_mister came to my rescue! Gamester Magazine (with a giant pull-out game of Star Wars), released by Walton Press Sales Ltd n 1977.

I then spent the next few months trying to find one to no avail. A couple turned up on Ebay, but in poor condition and expensive at £25+. I finally got lucky a few weeks ago and managed to bag a complete, unused/new Gamester magazine... for a tenner! So so chuffed with it. It brings back such memories - quite a quirky oddball item really, with weird ships etc. I'd love to open it out and play it properly, but I'm going to leave it intact. Hopefully my old one will turn up in my parents' loft one day...

 

[sith-smith]

Nice score and exactly what collecting is all about. Good you got your grail piece.

Definitely something I've never seen before.

Have you figured out.how to play the game yet?

 

[Cazza]

Not a clue! :lol:

Bloody hell, didn't notice that footer. Although the miscoloured footers aren't super rare they are quite unusual and do command a premium. Nicky, what was a bargain has just become a stellar buy. So glad it ended up with someone who wanted it in the collection and not for a quick buck

Cazza, that's bloody brilliant, mate. Never seen or heard of that mag but that looks super cool. And to find something that invokes childhood SW is, as Gary says, what it's all about. Brilliant find. Now I want one :lol:

I did wonder about the footer guys and just assumed it was because it was a 21-A card back but I'm guessing by the sounds of it that not all 21-A s had the same?

I upgraded from a beater 20 back so well pleased with him and even more so that he's a little stranger than the norm!

 

[chipsteak]

The footer seems to match the airbrushed background behind old Arse Face!

I love the Game magazine. It's a new one to e too. It's the daft things that can invoke so much nostalgia. Congratulations on finding your man.

These are the ones that were up for auction on Ebay and the listing got pulled! :evil:

Shame, as an auction is a level playing field and I would have liked to at least to have a chance to bid on these - although I probably wouldn't have won! They certainly are amazing condition pieces, the best i've seen.

I love the artwork on this! You've got a TIE Fighter that's been eating too much pie, you've got a retro style space station, and foreshadowing the yet un-released Empire Strikes Back you've even got asteroids!

Auctions like these never run their course on eBay, plus I wanted to keep the set together including the 20 backs. I managed to snag quite a few other pieces too for my collection and the sales part of this forum have benefited from some nice items. The seller didn't want the hassle and was a really nice person. I think both of us were very happy with the deal. I'm not looking to flip, they are going to stay in my Palitoy collection.

There was pretty much a behind the scenes auction going on for these bits - when I spoke to the seller she had over 20 people asking to end the auction and sell the stuff.

Given what I offered, and assuming Andy topped that, they certainly didn't go cheap! At least they aren't going to end up graded on Facebook!
