Palitoy stickers, posters, instructions and catalogues

[mr_palitoy]

Great catalogue Jason. I saw that and was tempted myself!
Imagine how much money those palitoy cards on the vader stand would be worth now!!!
Is that a Luke and a Han 30 back on it? :shock:

I think they are 41 backs, along with the Chewbacca below the Han and Stormtrooper above the Han. Check out the size of the palitoy logo compared to the 30b ugnaught to the left of the Han, they would need to be the same size and they look smaller.

The blurb says capacity is 120 cards, can see them 4 deep on the picture which would put 48 on there. Say 50k all in for what's there including the stand?

Love this focus display Jason!

I've got one of the big Palitoy catalogues given to the store owners from 78. I'll try to get some pictures attached at some point (it's the one with pictures of prototype figures and vehicles in it). I also have a beaten up copy of that rare ESB fold out toy pamphlet. I remember getting it in my local toy shop (Martins in Bristol), back in the day. They used to have catalogues on the counter that you could take for free from time to time. That was one thing I picked up as well as several small ones with the death Star on the front and some Jedi one sheets.

Ah those were the days when people didn't mind giving things away!

Found the catalogue i have on ebay although i think they're having a laugh with the price.

I don't have the price list but there are some more Star wars pages than the ones shown.

Great collection The Palitoy logo is the best IMO. Love the display sticker & the 81 catalog & the focus on success. Some of those instructions have great artwork on the front.

Would love to see some pics. That ridiculous BIN auction has been up for months, would love to buy it at a more realistic price!

[Palifan]

I don't know why that guy doesn't realise that nobody is interested in that BIN price, maybe just a way to get a silly offer. It'll be quite a while before I can get my hands on my catalogue as it's stored away deep at the moment but as soon as I can get to it I'll post some pictures.....well unless somebody else beats me to it.

Finally added Imperial Shuttle instructions to this focus!

I would love to get one of those 1981 Esb posters with the cloud car and troop transporter.

 

[Pomse2001]

Hi Jason, nice tri-logo shuttle instruction 8)

 

[TC-14]

What a Palitoy feast. Love it. My favourites are the trade catalogues... great to have an insight into the marketing and merchandising from that era. I've got to get me one of those mini catalogues... great thread, Jason

 

[jay4]

that shop stick n peel window logo is a thing of beauty jason 8) the 1982 binder catologue is no slouch either , top of the pops very nice indeed ,im envious of those 2 in particular

EDIT : :shock: :shock: :shock: 8) just seen the jedi binder cat . holy sh**t thats just awesome

 

[grinchy]

Wow thanks for sharing, i bought the replica window sticker for my cabinet, cool you have an original and so many cool other goodies

 

[mr_palitoy]

Was really excited to pick this up for a fiver including postage. It's the Diamond Jubilee History of Palitoy booklet from
1979 which makes fascinating reading. Sad to think that the factory closed some 5 years later after Palitoy was bought
by Hasbro and Palitoy was history.

[ZippyNL]

Very cool, just checked out the whole thread, impressive stuff! I didn't even know there were 2 Bounty Hunter leaflets, now I've got another one to get!

 

[palitoyjunky]

J help me out here; first issue Palitoy Taun Taun, did it come with an instruction sheet :?:
Obviously you haven't got one on ur post and I actually don't know what it looks like(if it exists) because I have never owned a solid belly Taun Taun :roll:

Obviously anyone who knows feel free to chime in :wink:

Don't think they did one as it wasn't needed on the solid belly. Obviously the open belly one had one showing how to shove luke inside.

[palitoyjunky]

Yeh that's what I was thinking too! So maybe it just contained a cat poster?

Cheers!

Finally picked up one of these thanks to walkie who had a couple of spares.

This is the ripped one and the torn corner was in danger of separating completely so I have shored it together with 2 pieces of peel away tape on the back of the poster.

Palitoy Rancor Keeper flyer.

Jason

Hi, can I just check with anyone with one of these Rancor Keeper flyers at hand, does the paper stock have an off white colour or is it pure white like the Emperor flyer?

Thanks

 

[Pomse2001]

Some cool palitoy posters you have 8)

 

[user 5830]

This is a wonderful thread; feels like it should almost be in the Reference Library rather than the Showcase given the amount of detail and attention given to it. Thanks for sharing - truly brilliant!

 

[mr_palitoy]

Been a while since I added to this.

Picked up the 3rd of 4 possible Bounty Hunter logs on ebay. Just need the original 1981 version with the Palitoy logo right at the bottom on the back of the card under the bounty hunter logo. Anyone got one?

cheers Jason

 

[Pomse2001]

Some cool bounty hunter logs you have there jason

 

[PulsarP]

Wow! Just spent a great 10 minutes perusing this wonderful thread.

 

[PulsarP]

Jason, these didn't actually come with the Star Wars X-Wing, but with the first (non battle damaged) ESB-version.

Fantastic collection of paper work Jason!!!

I had an established dealer(mentioning no names)send me a pic of this rare instruction sheet apparently heat sealed in a baggie saying it came in the Star Wars boxed X-Wing! Now I don't buy that because I have never seen a mint boxed SW X-Wing with that paper work before, also I'm pretty sure that early Palitoy boxed vehicles/playsets had tape sealed baggies and not the heat sealed type found in US playsets and later Palitoy playsets??

I have an unused Palitoy boxed original X-Wing so will check the contents.

Regards

 

[scott82]

Wow! awesome collection there Jason, I especially like the 1981 toy store catalogue..... very cool

 

[mr_palitoy]

Not the best nick, but it was free. Added an emperor to my mail away offer leaflets.



Jason

 

[stormcab]

Awesome direction to take. Well done fella.

 

[mr_palitoy]

Picked up this bad boy at the latest Farthest From. It's the Retail Sales Division 1978 Palitoy catalogue.

Nice starry background on the cover:-

Check out those prototypes. Chief Jawa, a weird looking Tusken Raider and a Death Squad Commander that looks like an Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot:-

Some prototype 12 inch Luke and Leia's on this page along with a lightsaber:-

Prototype Tie Fighter, Land Speeder and X-Wing Fighter on this page:-

The first of a 2 page spread for Destroy the Death Star:-

Palitoy loved their board games:-

Great to finally have one of these.



Jason

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Super catalogue, Jason. Nice to know that your efforts in recycling tatty old bits of card pays off

As an aside, that last page caught my attention. I've recently bought a board game off eBay that appears to be the forerunner of "Destroy Death Star" and is identical in almost every respect. It's called "Salvo!" and dates from the early 1970s and was manufactured by Palitoy. Great game but quite complex. A link to it is here:
