Nice little haul. Is the Imperial Attack Base instructions by Kenner or Palitoy?

A few new items that I've added recently, all with a bit of a hairy theme to them!
First up a sealed Palitoy Chewbacca Bandolier Strap, an interesting addition as these weren't generally available in Palitoy packaging or sold in shops in the UK. This has a 49p sticker showing it was in a UK store as an end of line clearance item (presumably left over from the mailaway promotion), and as such is great for my UK focussed collection.
Next a Palitoy Trilogo boxed Mookiee the Ewok, I've been after one of these for ages and really pleased to add this. Unusually this find got some positive feedback from my wife as she had one of these as a child! The sticker shows this to be another Palitoy end of line clearance item.
And finally a boxed Waddingtons Ewoks jigsaw, complete and with the original poster.
Cheers, just off to the grooming parlour!

OK, so contrary to popular belief Spoons!, I don't have much spare time. I had to do the last podcast without actually doing a mass update, so this one pretty much takes in 6 weeks worth of LA goodness!

Love the Woolworths price tags on the bandolier Andy, plus not seen a wockling in box or the puzzle before! Great stuff!!
Cheers for the comments Jez!
Had a great moment today, started with a £15 customs charge and ended on a nice positive!
Ordered these 2 from eBay and assumed green sabre!
But it's blue!!! Yay! Not bad for about £140 for the 2 (including ******** customs charge!)

in a bunch of broken figures i spy with my han hoth variant eye....
a beheaded han hoth moulded legs.
the head was in the lot also
the figure is in really good nick asides the beheading
rather than glue it on i wanted to rotate it like it once did
i found a random toy part which is identical to the length and diamter on a vintage figure peg. i modified it and removed the broken peg aand inserted the new peg and it now rotates like it once did and you would even tell its been fixed
enjoy

As many of u know I'm not a cardback collector but had to snap this up when I came across it :!: Really good condition as cardbacks go and not easy to find :!:
Needless to say Vader was all powerful in Empire really showing his ruthlessness so having a Palitoy logo Empire Vader cardback is v cool for me even though I am primarily a MOC collector 8)

Roundster - congrats on the Blue Saber Luke and Rancor Keeper, great price for those two!
Poncho - dude thats a great spot and an even better repair job, top work!
PalitoyJunky - I totally agree with you, that ESB Vader cardback looks the absolute business

You really can learn something every day in this hobby. I've just picked up the Star Wars issue of Gamester magazine, complete with all the inserts and unused game sheet. It's not dated but the editorial refers to it being a new magazine for the new year, which dates it to January 1978.
What's interested me is that I already had a copy of just the game sheet, sealed in cellophane. I couldn't work out why it would have been sealed as I had thought that it was only available as an insert in the magazine. It turns out on talking with a friend that he got his copy in the 70s by saving Green Shield stamps and exchanging them at the local garage. Sure enough on closer inspection the sealed game sheet has a subtle difference, with 'Green Shield' printed at the top above the Gamester logo. I'd speculate that the magazine was so popular that perhaps the game sheet was issued as a separate stand-alone product? Anyway, it's a nice UK item and a new discovery for me at least.
