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.

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![]()

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.
