| Hey all this is very interesting to me. I was talking to a friend of mine who has a MOC Nadine he was going to trade for some of my items it turned out I already have a moc Nadine, he rechecked his and found it was a Canadian one so that got me thinking so I checked mine it's a regular U.S. one. But then I decided to check the rest of my MOC collection and found this. It appears a biker Scout I bought here in the city for dirt cheap is a Palitoy one if I am reading this right. I always thought the front of the card had Palitoy on it. Here are the photos I took of a regular U.S. figure and this Palitoy one why I didn't notice this before just amazes me. U.S. Carded Han   The Palitoy Biker Scout it clearly states in the last photo Palitoy a division of General Mills Corp.    |

| The Palitoy logo only appears on the front of the SW and early ESB moc's. The later releases look like your Biker Scout. Its a nice moc!  |

| Cool I didn't know that it was dumb luck that I got it so cheap as neither me nor the seller obviously noticed it |

| Cool find. Yes the Palitoy logo appeared for the last time on the ESB 45A card. Palitoy stock like Tri-Logo's where ultimately recalled by General Mills and many ended up State side. Just look at the recent Lando Skiff Palitoy MOC I bought, purchased in the U.S. and baring the remnants of a Kay-Bee price sticker.  |
