| Great new stuff here! Craig I love the JM flyer and I'm glad that it seems to be original. Now I regret that I did not buy it myself from Bill...
The "do you dare" ad slick is one of my favorite pieces.
Btw. I have a spare Canadian Royal Guards cat here. If you want it drop me a line. They exist with string binding and stapled and they are not really rare.
Nice pictures of the SW Collections cat!
Uli

| Two variations of the instruction sheets for Palitoy ROTJ X Wing Fighter - these came with the grey version fighter and the white version - First up is the Palitoy grey vehicle version: Followed by the Palitoy white vehicle version: Reverse - grey: Reverse - white: There's always the possibility instruction sheets could have been switched/added over the years. These sheets are what turned up in my two x-wing boxes. Emiel - any chance you can confirm the grey X-wing instruction sheet with your grey version set? |

| Some more paperwork - this turned up in an incomplete and slightly battered R2D2 board game. The playing board is awesome though and I'm just waiting for the right size frame so I can display it as a picture! Will look very cool. For now here is the instruction sheet, French - English on the reverse: detail: |

| Oh, and I've also owned a few white ones in the past and they all had the other sheet. But as you said, some adding or switching could have been done in the past. Paul, when will you show us your mini-focus? |

| Hansole, that's a great Swedish ad - love how all the figs (except Chewie & Stormie) are facing West. Some mismatched weapons - and looks like Fett has had his gun confiscated lol! The Danish catalogue is also nice with some great pictures. Ads and catalogues always welcome. Thanks for the share |

| WOW Craigy! That's a superb haul mate! Well done to your man for keeping them in such good condition all these years! And having the foresight to send copies instead of the originals. Wow too to the Linda Lusardi pic If it had been a copy of the Sun we'd have had full norks alert! Love that Tesco poster and Bounty Hunter mailer! Really top stuff! This thread that Uli started is fast becoming a shrine to all things paper! |

| Great new additions to this very cool thread. That refund letter for the troop transport was awesome. I would have been so pissed as a kid waiting for that thing to come in the mail and then get a letter like that. At least you could've still ordered the super cool Bandolier! This is definitely my fav thread, so keep 'em coming guys! Brad |

| Craig, I really love that Bounty Hunter mailer and follow up letter. That really does seem to be the U.K. equivalent of the Young Jedi Mailer. Some really great paperwork has shown up in this thread. |

| also, just noticed on the Palitoy letter - as well as the usual Coalville, Leicester address, the return address for the actual order is Erdington in Birmingham - just up the road from where I'm currently living! Nice to see some more Midlands history involved in the SW toys |

| Uli those are really great Burger Chef Fun Books and cool POTF cats - hope you find the elusive two! Just a couple of random papers here from me: First up - one of the flyers from the tough to find Bossk "Secret Star Wars Action Figures" mailer - the complete mailer would contain another flyer, box +baggie Bossk. here's a link to the full set: http://theswca.com/images-speci/mailaways/bossk.html Next - an ESB poster magazine with articles inside and huge Yoda poster! |
