Latest Acquisitions

[palitoyjunky]

t's not often you get the chance to pick up your grail twice. And I don't mean to over use the term grail. But this week it happened

Leia pink poncho carded sample on ROTJ 48 back Imperial Hoth Stormtrooper card. And side by side with my other grail. Leia pink poncho unpainted first shot with non production hat and blaster for good measure. Interestingly the hair on carded sample figure is non production brown although the blaster and hat appear to be production like.

Core that is super Oli

[Bunglebubs]

Those pink pocho Leias like others I have never seen before. Quite cool like red cape squid & fortuna. Always great to get something you have been after.

 

[BlueDog]

Awesome additions everyone, Oli that Pink Poncho Leia is superb mate eve cooler with the Venture sticker :lol:

What's this plastic bag find you're referring to Iain? I've not heard about that one?

Speaking of plastic bags, won't mean a lot to folk on here but one of the stores I have the most memories of SW toys here in Aus is a department store called MYER. They used to have the wholes top floor dedicated to toys and in Christmas is was a childs paradise. As you can see by these two bags they would have shows and expos related to different toys. The Star Wars one's popped up for sale on Facebook so I grabbed one and the sleer kindly posted a free Lego one as well. These things are as new as the day they were made apparently his Nan worked in MYER Adelaide back in the day and would horde anything they were throwing away. Good on you Nan! Also love the fact they've used an actual Vader case as the image on the artwork.

following on from scuffylooking and maxf items heres mine from the same seller a £20 bin with free postage probably the worst one of the lot. its one i havnt seen before anyway. the double stem bubble is crushed big time and is lifting slightly right corner but figure cant be removed

According to mr palitoy (Jason's) guide its dutch clipper 45bn back!

''The Palitoy factory ran out of Palitoy 45B cards for some of it's figures and used German General Mills and Dutch Clipper cards which were also manufactured in the Coalville factory. These cards had a Palitoy sticker covering the entire bottom half of the reverse of the card to cover up the German and Dutch writing. This sticker had the same text as on the back of the bottom half of the 45C variation. The Dutch Clipper ESB card has a tilted white box on the top left hand corner on the front of the card that says Gratis Premies! Zie Achterzijde and Offre Gratuite. Voir Au Vers. The phrase is the Dutch and French for For free offers! See back. On the top right hand corner is says 4 jaar en ouder which is Dutch for 4 years and older. Dengar, R2-D2 with sensorscope, Zuckuss, Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot and 4-LOM are known to have appeared on this card with a sticker on the back. This sticker variation is known as 45BN, the N standing for Netherlands/Dutch''

Another one for the budget MOC run

A Dirty Dengar!

Oli! That carded Leia is a dream piece. I think it easily qualifies as a grail. And I must say, I'm so envious!!

 

[Dublinjeff]

New Blank Raised Bar Vader figure

 

[timbo72]

Loving that Dengar

 

[punk_pat]

Pink poncho Leia sample has to be one of the coolest items in the whole vintage SW collecting world. Hugely envious! The fact that it was sold at retail is even cooler. I wonder how many Aussie kids were playing with pink poncho figures?! How many of these are there known to be carded?

I remember a Han Trench sample on eBay, must've been about 2007 and it was listed BIN for something like $299. I didn't pull the trigger and missed out. Top 5 collecting regrets.

I'd say the Pink Poncho probably worked in it's favour as to why it actually survived. You could imagine looking for a ponch Leia with her cool camo poncho and find one that was pink instead. They probably all became peg warmers.

 

[roundster]

Some great pieces! The carded pink Leia is nuts!! Also loving the Dengar, never seen that sticker variation before!

My latest 2 arrived today...

AFA Y85 79b kenner card and a UKG Y80 POTF. Hoping to get the full Star Wars to POTF Run.

 

[Andyclarke]

The pink Leia Poncho is unbelievable.

Here's a couple of recent additions. R2 is an upgrade and a nice Rebel Soldier addition for my 45a focus.

 

[sith-smith]

Great buys.

Love the Palitoy MOC. I think a 45a HRS was the first MOC I ever bought off of you Andy, way back in around 2001/2

I guess this would be the one then?

 

[grinchy]

All great additions guys, to many to mention but love the two luke x wing carded figures
Heres my meagre offering, have been skint lately but snagged this on ebay for £27.00, well chuffed, haven't got any other offer boxes, but I remember woollies clearing out there old stock at these prices, wish I had of bought more back then

 

[sith-smith]

Picked these up at Farthest From (Thanks again Richard!) These were my wins from a Vectis auction earlier this year...

 

[steve obi wan]

Impressive, most impressive :shock:

 

[stormcab]

Well, done on the Palitoys. Was watching them myself. The R2 was way out of my price range. I put in a bid for £190 on the Hoth soldier, but was wasn't wanting to go any higher with such a yellow bubble.

 

[Dorsetmark]

Love those Palitoys and well done on the ewok glider, nice and minty for one of those.
Tie Bomber looks the nuts ( they should have made that for the figures)

Cheers, I missed out on the Luke Bespin though which I really wanted.

In all my years of collecting 45a's I have only ever seen one clear bubble on a HRS (which I also owned). For some reason this particular figure's bubble generally yellowed.

 

[pizzathehutt]

managed to pick these up at the local car boot over the weekend, £1 each 8) nice to see stuff still about.

the seller said i he had already sold 30 other figures bang on 7am and i was buying these at 8.30, i asked him if he could remember what the other figures were and he said there was darth vader, obi wan, c3po and r2d2 but not sure on the others? i was suprised whoever bought these past up on a yoda for a quid? oh well.

 

[Dorsetmark]

Love the Jedi Tuskan Raider

A massive difference in price between that and the AFA 75 one. Someone reeeeeeally wanted that sucker, £1400!

 

[Palifan]

The Tusken looks so cosy in his little hoody!

Nice score though - Ian

 

[Waltham Wookiee]

Love the Palitoy 45 A's Andy and the Die cast Gary

Got this lovely Trilogo FX7 in the post today. He was a UKG 80 But I busted him out of his tomb.
