Seriously, how can stuff like this just be sitting there waiting to be found? How?

Might open up some items that are currently priced out of the market for some collectors though, which is great news.

This is what i'm hoping too... Get them in the hands of collectors at affordable prices. Fingers crossed that a dealer doesn't force us all out on the auctions and then try to sell'em on for double!

So who found this? Vectis??

If true its great, but only if you want to spend thousands unfortunately.

Amazing pic, thanks for sharing it!

The poster in the pic mentions Darth will visit the store in August, and from the mixture of first wave ESB toys and SW toys the year has to be 1980 - so by deduction photo taken June-July 1980.

Great photo, thought it was Gary's (Sithsmith) lounge window

Only joking Gary!

 

[Stargeezer]

I love the ESB/racetrack sticker On the window.

There is a pic of one of those Darth Vader meet and greets in a toy shop somewhere on the net, one in Liverpool if I remember rightly?

I've got a bit of an update.

The find wasnt a toy shop find, it's much better than that. As I understand it, the stuff at Vectis actually came from a Palitoy rep who'd kept the stuff for the last 30 years if so. I don't know this but I assume that means that it will all be unstickered and unpunched. It's in original Palitoy cases which I believe will also be auctioned.

The sale will be a Palitoy only sale, as it so includes Action Man, Pippa and Tiny Tears stuff, amongst other things. It will be in May or June.

Enjoy fantasising people

Wow. Is it wrong to be fantasising about this bringing down the price of Palitoy 12 backs so that I could finally own more than one? Probably, right?
