Who's buying all the oddball for crazy money? At this rate we'll all be buying POTF2 as an investment.

Handed this one yesterday by my mother in law... bear with me... her brother in law has had it in his loft (3of them) and a couple of Quads since 1977. Apparently he was a big film buff and collected posters and film reels! Who knew! Anyway, no questioning its provenance, but the exact date may of course be a false memory.
Anyway he's clearing out and I got one, my son got one and my brother in law (her son) got one and the quads.

Any ideas on what it is?

It transpires (Thanks Matt Fox), that this is a likely to be a Super8 advertising poster...

Matt's infomation:

"I believe your droids poster is a shop advertisement for the Super 8mm release.

I think you have the UK version, but you can see the US version here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-77-SU ... 1711145424

Measure the width of yours, it should be 14" across (It is indeed! - Thank you). I believe there may have been a strip along the bottom, it looks like from the Ebay link that this was part of the US poster, on the UK one the shape of yours would suggest that maybe the sales details were on a separate slip perhaps. - This must be the case both mine and my son's are exactly the same and look to be cut at printers, not post production."

Bit more digging to do, but this couldn't be more helpful, Thank you Matt, you've been a massive help

You're very welcome! 3 of these came from the loft of your mother-in-laws brother-in-law... unbelievable what's out there. I'd be surprised if this poster even exists in double figures, far rarer than a rocket firing Fett I'm sure (although doubtless a bit more niche!). Cool find.

Thanks chaps, very pleased with the Carrie items.

Can't believe that's PBP trooper for £4! Wow. And that R2 for 70 is incredible, Grant. Jeff, love the vehicles and CS Dewback. Still never owned one and would love to find a loose one cheap enough. Such a cool item I never ever saw as a kid.

I'm loving the Ewok wallet/purse, Hooch! Just brilliant
