My latest addition is a Palitoy 45AD R5-D4 thanks to Tom Scaife.

This is a sub variation of the Palitoy 45A which also exists for R5-D4. This is the only figure known to have a 45A and 45AD variation.

Here are both cards together, the new 45AD variation is on the right:-

You can tell the cards apart on the front of the card as the A of 'BECOME A' is to the right of the R in 'WARS' on the next line.
The font on 'BECOME A' is also larger on the 45A compared to the 45AD. Here are both side by side to compare, 45AD is on the right:-

On the back the most obvious difference is the spelling of Leichester in the Palitoy address on the 45AD that is corrected on the 45A.
Also, the text underneath the address stretches further to the right on the 45AD compared to the 45A. I hadnt noticed this last
difference before. Given the spelling was wrong, and then corrected, this shows the 45AD card was the first one produced and the 45A
came afterwards. Here are both addresses side by side to compare, 45AD is on the right:-

This is my full run of cardbacks for this variation, I have every known one now. There are 51 so far:-

And here is a picture of all 10 cards that have been found on the 45AD variation. They are all in the first 20 figures seen on 12 and 20 backs
apart from Boba Fett. Its possible there are more of these that haven't been found yet. Please check your Palitoys and let me know if you
have a 45AD that is not shown here:-

FANTASTIC accomplishment buddy, envious.

The quest continues. There's a 45AD Sandpeople and possibly a Ben to get too!

That's a stellar run! Thanks for sharing

Many thanks to Paul Watts for gifting me a Palitoy 45AD Sandpeople to keep my run of 45As and 45ADs complete!

This first picture is all the known Palitoy 45ADs:-

And this second picture is the complete run of all 45A cardback types:-

You can tell the cards apart on the front of the card as the A of 'BECOME A' is to the right of the R in 'WARS' on the next line.
The font on 'BECOME A' is also larger on the 45A compared to the 45AD. And on the back the most obvious difference is the spelling
of Leichester in the Palitoy address on the 45AD that is corrected on the 45A.

I'm still looking for the possible existence of Ben Kenobi on the Palitoy 45AD variation. Please check your cards and let us
know if you have one!

It's been 8 long years since I added to my palitoy 30b run. Many thanks to Daren Wilde for giving me first dibs on his Chewbacca 30b to add to my run. I now have all of the seen 30b's for the first 12 figures, and all of the seen 30b's.

cheers Jason

 

[Cardbackkid]

Most impressive as always Jason

 

[Snaketibe]

Great stuff!

Congratulations on finishing the run. 8 years is a very long time to wait and just goes to show how bloody rare that last card is

Lovely Jason and many congratulations.
