That DSD seems famillar. I think I was the under bidder on that piece. Wasnt it from an Auction house? Henry Aldridge?

No I got that DSD in 2002. Most of the nice 41 backs and the Yoda 30 back I have pictured came from Toytoni of all people. He landed the best conditioned collection of Palitoys I have ever seen - all genuine. Back when he had a good reputation. :roll:

Holy Smokes- they like museum pieces.

Some superb finds Andy- the quality look factory fresh- amazing :)

Good luck starting again-

Cheers. I've had loads of 45a Tie Pilots in my time, one will turn up sooner than later, I will give you a shout if I come across one.
 
Some more pics. The 12 & 20 backs were part of the same larger haul.

Hi Andy,

In octobre/november 2010, i was offerd 9 Palitoy 45bk carded figures; Vader, Jawa, Death Squad Commander, Death Star Droid, Tuskan, Chewie, R5D4 ,CCP and IG88. I purchase them all. Steve Tomlinson played as intermediary and I never knew who was selling them. Now, looking at the pictures, I have no doubts that they was yours.

I finally sold them again in june 2012... the Vader went to Markus Salgert, a german collector that has Vader as focus.

Not wanting to hijack your thread Andy, as you have some real beauties. I don't ever recall seeing a 41 DSD or PD before.....

Here is my 41 bk run in its pomp,some not in the condition yours were Andy. sadly most are gone apart from the Han/Leia cards.

Some crackers there Lee and ones I've never seen and maybe some that I once owned. Fantastic stuff. The more the merrier on the pics. Let's see those old flames.
 
More pics for your pleasure. These was part of a strange Palitoy haul I got way back in 2003, it consisted of 1x 30 back Lando, 2x 30 back Leia bespin walking, 2 x 41 back Yoda, 2 x 41 back LXW, 2, 41 back AT-AT Drivers, 2 x IG88, 2 x 41 back Ugnaughts 30 back LXW and 21 Back Kenner LXW. Strange selection. Still got pics of all of them.

Beauties. Had a couple of R2s but never a 3po on 41 back.

There's a lesson for all here. Take detailed pictures of your collection piece by piece!! I look at my pics from time to time and it's fantastic to know what you've had in your hands.
 
This thread is simultaneoulsy uplifting and depressing :-)

Some really amazing MOCs, at least you have the pictures still, and your new collection has got some star pieces already.

Great update. That would be the same ones then. Who ended up with them if you don't mind my asking?

I was in a hurry of fresh funds so i asked again Steve Tomlinson to deal them to someone else. i never knew to who he sold the figures, apart the Vader that i sold to Markus.
 
I would have given you Garys left nut for that LXW 30 bk !
(obviously i havent fully thought through the plan to get Garys left nut).

You know, it would be easier for us both for you to give my LXW 30 back for that one rather than my left nut!

Well, just as long as you appreciate the sentiment!

Now I know why Gary is known as golden balls!
 
Thats my old Stormtrooper ESB Palitoy. I think i sold that along with my Palitoy ESB logod Luke Xwing to a guy with the name Crawford, think his name was Kevin.

Of course when you sold me the trooper Andy, it had pride of place in my Trooper focus back in 2003.

Yes it was nice, wish I had it again. I remember Kevin Crawford, sold quite a few bits to him also.
 
Old Kev Crawford :idea:

That takes me back to early 2002, he bought my complete set of Kenner 12&21 backs :)
 
Wow - amazing cards. I opened a lot of them as a small child and its great to see them as they were back then here in the UK. A definite want for my collection when my pockets are a bit deeper - love the droids and Leias :D
 
Hi Andy, wow that was some awesome palitoy moc you had, sorry to read you do not have them anymore :cry:

Nice to be back in the game and I have a few of them already, but I suspect there are many I will never see or get again.
