Hey Andy that's an amazing sight to behold! :o

Out of interest did you notice if the 12 back Han was a small or large head?

Massive thanks for sharing :D

Ian


Small head.
 
The rep is still about but out of respect for privacy and other reasons we're unlikely to have him on. Dave Tree may be able to give you some stories about him.

There are mint catalogues and price lists for every year. Some incredible ephemera featuring Boba Fett on the cover linking to a British trade fair absolutely unique stuff.

Okay, I'm in, better start saving...FAST!
 
Wow. The cloud twinpod looks like it just stole a ride in McFly's Delorean. Some of those items are in unbelievable condition.

Thanks for sharing.
 
I wasn't going to bid, the next few weeks are bad for me financially (car tax, service, New brake discs, New suspension) but as soon as I saw those photos I crumbled. It's only money, that's what overdrafts are for.

Still convinced we are going to see record prices on May 27th, it's going to be a crazy day.
 
It's the 24% fee's which are killer sadly, but then, that's how auction houses operate. I think this auction will see some scary prices being realised.

Looking forward to seeing the lots when they're released for viewing, any ideas on when this might be?

That X-Wing looks stunning 8) Unused I'm sure, do u know if it is sealed? Just never seen a sealed example :?: :!:

The Palitoy documents r fantastic to see 8) 8)
Yes I think it was. It really was superb. Wouldn't be surprised to see it go for £800.

If the right people r bidding it will go for a lot more than £800 :!:

Some incredible Action Force stuff. The guy who designed all the figures has an original prototype for everyone made. He has given one for auction to test the market. He doesn't believe they are worth anything at all.

The Kenner samples were fantastic. They have every 12 back for sale apart from the Jawa. I guess he did have Jawas but as you can see from one of the lots they all got trashed by a garage leak.

The Action Man lots are incredible too.

I had my hands on that trade box of 48 Palitoy 12 backs which is coming up for sale too....just the box mind. I was amazed how small it was. They really were tightly packed in.

As for the Beech's stuff, as a collector/dealer myself (I have an extensive knowledge of all 70's 80's toys) it was just staggering and it makes me smile just thinking what's to come. What amazing times we are going through at the moment.
 
This could be the best condition boxed x-wing there is as it has been locked away for 37 yrs :P
 
The things that really interest me though are the sales material and the photos of the trade show and shop layouts! Really fascinating stuff...

Don't know whether it would be possible but it would be cool if SWFUK forum members could set up a society or trust where we could all make a contribution to purchase this material so that it could remain as part of the collecting community rather than be squirrelled away in a private collection and never see the light of day again
 
It would have to be a very committed collector to pay theese numbers ! So there defo going to good homes , on a personal note I too have squirrelled away valuable collectors pieces ,but notthing made of plastic ,mostly V10 V12 stuff :lol:
