Hi Lars,
Like you, I really hope some other forum members can help out with this one, as I don't collect die-cast myself and hence have nothing to share this week. However, even though I don't collect them personally, I know that plenty of other people do. So to those forum members with this toy, I say please share yours with the rest of us, as we'd love to see them
Thanks.
Jeremy

I have no idea, I got 2 of them years ago from a danish childhood lot, but I never checked it and sold them on the forum
Maybe some other forum members know about it or have one they will share on the forum

OK, the loose one is again from my childhood. As a kid, from the die cast range, I only had the X-Wing and the Twin Pod Cloud Car.
The carded one is a re-seal I picked up for my carded / boxed die-cast run. They may not be everybody's cup of tea but personally I really like the vintage die-cast

Tremendous! Many thanks for sharing your examples, and well done for being the first person to do so!OK, the loose one is again from my childhood. As a kid, from the die cast range, I only had the X-Wing and the Twin Pod Cloud Car.

Although I don't collect vintage die-cast personally, I do like the packaging, and the toys themselves certainly have a charm of their own.

Thanks Jeremy, indeed the packaging certainly pings out to me. I love the carded Die-Cast, not so much the boxed ones (I have a loose with box run of those excluding the bomber) but the carded ones I love. I'll stick up a pick of my run once I've finished my current umpteenth rearrangement of my roomTremendous! Many thanks for sharing your examples, and well done for being the first person to do so!

I was beginning to think there was no members left on the forum that collect die cast.
Finally we get some pictures of the die cast x-wing, thanks mate
the re-seal looks fantastic, I like how they use a picture from the movie of the cardback, I never understood why they also did not do that with the box
and the x-wing from your chilldhod also looks great, thanks for sharing them

Very nice examples @supergoose!
I did/do have one of these, its possibly at my folks in a real sorry state. I think i have the tie fighter too. The lad across the road gifted them to me when i was a kid as he had become 'too old' to play with Star Wars
Im sure i recall the little pilot was silver/gold tho
perhaps mine was just worn?
