| Amazing stuff guys, I think this thread will go down in history!!! Here's mine, sorry no group shot.... 1) My Glasslite Tie. The box is in amazing condition as is the ship and it has the original inserts. Managed to pick this up with a boxed Interceptor aswell. Looking out for an X-Wing now. 2) My favourite Ledy item. There are only a handful of original Rebo band boxes known to exist. This was actually used as a display piece at a convention. 3) My highest graded figure at a 90 and it's one of my 12 back Pali's....enough said. 4) I picked these two boxed Trems up from different sources, but what I love about them is I think they may have been owned by the same child as the hand written drawings and writing on the inside of the boxes looks very similar. It looks like the lids acted as a Control Centre. 5) First time I've owned a Skiff and I'm not tempted to open it. This is from the Lucas Archives and was won at a silent auction. |

| I've finally got some time to go back and look at everything. These top 5 threads bring out some of the best stuff. I've got to say it sure is difficult to pick just 5 things. 1. My soon (hopefully end of the year) complete POTF coin set. The coin missing in the middle of the frame is on its way, so 3 more to go. 2. 65a Luke Jedi Proof 3. Kenner Luke Jedi/Bib Fortuna reference photo 4. The first production item that started it all, The Early Bird Certificate Package 5. The Young Jedi Mailer. I view this item as marking the end of an era, as it was mailed out to try and renew interest in Star Wars. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I have a vague memory of receiving one of these as a kid. This is an example that was actually mailed out and has all unused paperwork. Next to it is the followup letter, coupon, and a folded cardback from the followup figure with the POP blacked out. As far as I know, this is the only example of the followup letter and coupon. I still need to track down the mailer box to complete this.

| As a Palitoy MOC collector kinda limits what i can show. Right o, some of you boys from SWF will have seen these before so here goes with my current top 5. No group shot Joe,sorry pal. Still at no.1 is my 12 back AFA 90 C-3PO 2/ Palitoy 41 back Han Solo . Like this card with the ESB logo more than my Han 12 back 3/Palitoy 45 a Chewie 4/AFA85 Palitoy 20 back Hammerhead 5/ What collection would be complete without a MOC Fett? Palitoy 41 back Some great pieces on this thread BTW too many too list. |

| Amazing top 5's guys. Not everyday you see a carded ledy fett My stuff is packed up so i too will break rule # 1 lol. Top 5 in no order is Seriously mint general mills blue snaggletooth baggie. Next up a £1.59 stickered tri log Yak, not sure why but i just think yak on a tri card looks ubber cool. Whilst on about yaks, here's a very scarce palitoy bagged one from a woolies 8 pk. Next up is quite an oddity. A tri fett in tape sealed palitoy baggie. This took me a few months to obtain, and altho technically he is packed with the incorrect weapon i believe the seal is legit (plus its not uncommon to find pal baggies with the wrong, or even no weapon) This could possibly be the ONLY pal bagged tri fett out there! And finally possibly my fave item, a genuine DT Darth Vader

| Stu - I didn't realise you picked up ANOTHER trem with a doodled box!! That indeed does look like it was from the same kid!! Amazing if it was, I wonder if you could somehow trace the owner one day!
Fantastic memories in all our toys - thinking back to the original owners and the scrapes and battles they put our "collector items" through really makes it all that bit more awesome! |
