I'm looking for a resealed Palitoy 12 back Chewbacca to complete my collection. I already have one with a very yellowed bubble and would love to get hold of one with a clear bubble. Also it would mean I could finally get rid of the one I made using a Kenner cut card!

Please contact me if it's something you can help with.

Hi there. to TIG

To help with your search introducing yourself and posting some pics of your Palitoy collection would really he;p your cause

Have you got the other 11 MOC? If so that's quite an achievement. Reseals pop up for Chewbacca on ebay a few times a year. The last one sold in August for £60. You could also make your own from a cardback.

cheers Jason

Hi Jason,
I do have the other 11 (along with the other first 20), and also the 2 versions of Han and the only 2 Jawa bubble variations I've ever seen (not sure if there's a VC bubble version as I had one as a child but as everyone else I didn't keep the card back so don't know if a Palitoy version did exist for sure).

I always keep a close eye out on Ebay for the Chewbacca one but but haven't seen one that doesn't have damage to the card and thought it was worth an ask through this forum, you never know someone may be able to help me out. As for the making of my own from a Palitoy cardback it's what I already have in my collection and would love to upgrade it. I have also made 2 other reseals this way but was lucky enough to have a Palitoy cut card of both Luke and Leia so the reseals are of a high standard and the bubbles have never been opened! I would love a complete unopened run of 12 and 20 backs but realised years ago that I would never be able to afford it so this is the next best thing and I'm happy enough with the way it is.

I'll try to add the pictures of my collection if I can figure out how to do it.

All the best - Ian

Hi Ian,

Welcome to TIG!

We would love to see your Palitoy collection.

Here is how you can post pics on this forum.

• Open a photoshare account, for instance photobucket, flickr.
  
• Upload your pictures from your computer
  
• Copy the IMG code of the desired pic into your post
  
• Done!

If you like multiple pics, just copy the IMG codes of the respective pics.

Please PM me if this does not work for you (after trying a bit), as I don't want Jason's thread to be hijacked.

Just wanted to say that my collection is now up on the Vintage Star Wars Limelights section.

I now have more than in the pictures I've posted but I thought it would be good to put them up anyway, more pictures to follow at some point.
