Palitoy 1984 & 1985 trade catalogues

[jonesy]

Ok, so here is the official nod that these two trade catalogues are now for sale.

The 1984 catalogue features ROTJ and has 16 full colour pages of the toy range including the store displays suggested by Palitoy.

I'm asking £220 posted for the 1984 catalogue.

The 1985 catalogue features POTF and has 14 full colour pages of the range including the last seventeen. It also comes with an additional four page price list which is a rarity.

I'm asking £185 posted for the 1985 catalogue.

First PM takes them.
Cheers,
Neil.

Hi Neil

Welcome to the forum, a couple of nice items there but the prices seem a little too rich to me.

I picked up the '84 Palitoy catalogue about 6 month ago on eBay for £100 & I find the forum tends to be keener on prices.

That said I wish you the best of luck with the sales, there is a lot of love for Palitoy here at the SWFUK, as you'd expect.

All the best

Could any pictures of what's inside be shared as well?

Hi Marc,

I think you got very lucky with your '84 catalogue. I paid £200 for mine around ten years ago.

Here's photos of some of the pages:-

1984 catalogue.

1985 catalogue.

The best offer I can do is £350 for both catalogues.

Neil.

Hi Neil.

Thanks for sharing these. Not something I'm interested in buying but cool to see inside them.

Hope your sale goes well.

 

[Star Wares]

Wow! I guess I did, it didn't feel good it at the time though as I'd picked up lots of the Kenner ones for £35-55.

I 'd love the '85 one but can't afford it right now.

On that bottom picture what are those two ships on the top of the left hand page? Don't think they were ever released (could be wrong though), and if they weren't I wonder if someone has those prototypes.

Nice to see although I'm not sure these would achieve the price you're after even on ebay. Might be worth a go though if you get no takers on here and remember those ebay fees.

ATL Interceptor and Imperial Side Gunner... Both from the Droids line. Zoom in you can read the text on them.

Palifan, the two vehicles you mentioned seem to be the Droids Atl interceptor and side gunner? 8)

More interesting are the box mock ups which have been used for the store display on the last page of the 1984 catalog,,

Thanks to both you and Bram for clearing up those two vehicles for me. I hadn't noticed the mock ups mentioned either , nice to see also

awesome, I noticed the Darth Vader stand with all the carded figures on them, that would be a cool way to display them 8)
