If you happen across them on eBay, can you a copy a link to either Cazza or myself? I've typed all sorts in to the search, all I get is display sleeves for Pokémon cards!!

Thanks @darth-shaman!

@Cazza Just seen your post above… I'll blame being on my phone and not having a full page view

Good man! I'll take a look right now…

These are the ones, Andy: a lot slimmer than the clamshell type… £26 for 20… bargain! Just ordered myself a pack

Received this beauty today, won on Ebay. Wanted one for a while. Came well packaged and included box inserts and really nice example of R2 and the electrics work . Apparently a loft find, found in the sellers parents loft after 40 years. Got to say that it's been well stored.

The reason I bought the Y-Wing was due to the following reason, I've recently lost a close friend to cancer, the week before she sadly passed, I went to see her to say our goodbyes. When I left, she gave me an envelope with the strict instructions not to open until I returned home!! In the envelope was a card with the message "Buy something Star Wars, enjoy" and a gift of cash!!. My friend was one of the most organised, friendly and selfless person I have ever met. She is very much missed by all who had the privilege to know her

This is why the Y-Wing will have pride of place in my collection and will be especially treasured

Love the Y-wing, and an excellent example to add to the collection. I recall a clearance shop in the early 90s where I purchased a few Star Wars items. She had Y-wings, but, I couldn't afford one at the time. I subsequently acquired 2 loose ones in the late 90s. But, I still don't have a boxed example.

My sympathy for the loss of your friend. And, thanks for sharing the purchase.

Heartfelt condolences to you, my friend @Ruby2511. She really sounds like she was one in a million, and clearly thought the world of you.

You've done her proud buying this fine example, you seeing it up for sale at this point in time- it clearly was meant to be. Just perfect.
