| In my 6 years on RS I have had a few unanswered posts LOL I think it just depends on what other threads are about at the time and the kind of people that read them, not everyone can be bothered to post - but as a thread started it kind of sucks, even if your thread is shit its nice to get at least one reply lol Oh well - back to the drawing board - at least *some* of my threads here get replies (and let that be a warning - I can still ban you bastards if you don't post!!!! ) |

| Superb posters, Uli, I remember them from your top 5 and I think I would agree it is the same photo from your Swedish retailer poster as my Tri-logo poster. The Clipper Boba Fett is excellent!! Thanks _________________________________________________ Paul F,

It's Brad again(I'm back)- I read that post on rs and I thought it was really,really,really good!!! an extract from Joe's post on RS: RANCOR! He's the meanest, hungriest, most horrifying monster in the whole STAR WARS saga! With his moveable legs you can make him chase Gamorrean Guards! I had to put this as a special treat for all the Gamorrean Guard collectors out there! LOL bet you have nightmares now! good work Joe! _________________________________________________ Paul F,

| PS... Brad, cheers for the thoughts on the poster framing. Was interesting you said you were watching the poster as I was also looking at one on Ebay other day - wonder if it was the same one? _________________________________________________ Paul F,

That's funny Paul. After seeing yours I'm really kicking myself for not getting that one! Oh well! At least I can come on here and admire yours from afar! Brad |

| that's always the way lol Brad, when I first posted my thread about the poster on RS I had someone ask if they could buy it from me, then there was about two other guys who said they had some they were prepared to sell... so I think they're not so rare and they always pop up on Ebay from time to time. I'll let you know if I see another one and put you in touch as I'm always scouring for posters and manuals etc. _________________________________________________ Paul F,

| It's good to hear they're not that rare. I'll definitely pick one up, one of these days. Thanks for offering to be my look-out. I appreciate it. It always helps to have an extra set of eyes. Brad |

| All these posters and catalogues are quite abundant thankfully and its handy if you need them to complete playsets/multipacks etc
I had a stash of them but gave most away when I had a sell up last year as no-one was interested in buying at the time, they are pretty neat and as has been mentioned and pictured there are some cool descriptions and images in them, I think on the picture with some of those pre production figures you can actually see a metal pin joining the arm on Ree Yees. |

| Yeah I thought that was very interesting how some of the pre-production figures on the promos didn't turn out the same when they went into full production. For some reason that kind of stuff really fascinates me. At the time they come out you don't think about all the stuff that goes into making those little chunks of plastic because you're a kid and you don't care. As an adult it's kind of neat to hear about all the changes that had to be made before those toys were put in our greedy, dirty little hands. |

| James if you have spare one of the Speeder Bike with Australian address please drop me a line! I'd like to add this one to my collection... I wonder if you have any other instructions with an Australian address on? Here is a picture of the Clipper Fett and Play Mix posters mounted on a door and a wall (no safe ) |

I agree with Dan, your room looks amazing! I looked for a limelight of your collection, but didn't see one. Did I just miss it or do you not have pics up yet. If anyone needs to show off his collection it's you! I'd love to see more of it.
That Clipper offer and all the other promo stuff looks real good displayed front and center like that. It's good to see you have it displayed and not hidden away.
Good work on your collection. Hope to see more soon!

| Uli, you better not slam that door! Any luck locating one of these yet?: (for Joe, who will not see this, it's an ESB Dutch Kenner (!) folded pack-in leaflet, located here: http://www.starswar.eu/paperwork/contents/clipper.html ) |

| No I still had no luck in getting one of these posters - but I still hope that I can get yours one day Brad and Dan: I will do a quick limelight for my room in the near future. Uli |
