RARE UK Woolworth's 8-Packs (stickered "
Special Buy 8 STAR WARS FIGURES for 99p") distributed via the Palitoy factory in 1985.
These packs from Woolworth's were the only store specific multi-packs available in Europe. They usually contained a mixture of bagged and loose figures. It is hard to find a pack with all eight figures sealed in baggies. It's purely coincidental that these two examples could be presented as a RotJ and ESB themed selections.
I consider the 8-Packs to be worth the current market value of their contents (I think it's a fair way of pricing them). Thus I worked out their value as such. =
RotJ 8-Pack =
£199.99 Euro HK
Lando Skiff = £25

I'm offering these as original sealed 8-Packs though I *might* even sell baggies individually to those interested in only certain specimens.:
I'd obviously rather keep them intact as original 8-Packs. Thus to save them from being split up I'd even accept offers in the region of
£450 for
BOTH packs. Which I personally think is a really good deal, considering just how truly elusive they actually are.
All elements of these 8-Packs are virtually MINT! They're amongst the finest examples that I know to have survived. I also have one last Palitoy/ Woolworth's 8-Pack possibly for sale which includes an incredibly rare Euro PBP/Tri-logo
Boba Fett baggie. Just email me IF interested!
I spotted a few RS members bidding on David Oliver's 4-Packs. Thus I thought I'd offer you all the opportunity to own this unique example. =
Tri-logo 4-Pack production test sample manufactured by Palitoy in 1985.
This particular 4-Pack was given to me in early '86 by an ex Palitoy employee called Douglas Anderson. He worked for the Bradgate games division for over thirty years.Doug 'saved' it (along with a few UNused backing cards and Palitoy boxflats) when he left the company in '85. It's simply a production test sample made from regular MOCs of the era. Containing Tri Gamorrean Guard, Tri Klaatu, Tri Bib Fortuna and a Kenner (PBP/Tri Variant) Greedo (visible Kenner card image too). I was originally told that the pack had to be altered as the Gamorrean Guard was too bulky and they couldn't fit enough of them in the packing boxes together.
Doug kept it for his own kids to possibly play with BUT they were older than myself and they didn't want the toys at all. Therefore I was luckily later presented the pack via my Dad, (who collects toy soldiers and vintage die cast toys like Doug did).
I was also kindly given a now rare Palitoy Zorro, two whole sets of Palitoy Parker Bradgate Space 1999 figures and a Palitoy Talking Batmobile by him. Which was great!
I've owned the 4-Pack for nearly 20 years and have never seen another like it. I'm now open to offers for it, where I simply want to purchase yet another display piece for my collection next week.
I'm certainly not looking for a fortune for it at all, as I obviously have no written proof to it's actual origins. Though it will be pictured and described in detail in my forthcoming book.
I'm looking for offers in the region of
£399.99 or possible trades for Palitoy items.
White Chief Chirpa baggie Palitoy competition prize from early '83.
These are incredibly hard to find, I've only ever seen four or five examples! Every single one was acquired as an 'exclusive figure' prize in the UK. I'm looking for a fair
£79.99 for this fun piece of Palitoy history.
Euro HK (Pal Variant) Princess Leia Organa baggie manufactured by Palitoy.
One of only three remaining that I can confirm exist in the UK. (I've been searching for more examples for a long time too!) Just like a lot of Pal baggies it has NO weapon and is also the hard to find NO COO Pal Variant that appeared in Europe from 1982. To my mind it's well worth the
£49.99 asking price.

NO COO General Madine figure (imported by Meccano).
