A nice Palitoy factory overstock Madine from Nicholas Kazonis Very Happy

Thanks [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Nice General Madine, he looks to be in mint shape. The sticker is from the Consumers Distributing store. That sticker is why I picked up the card, I don't have anything with one on it. I am not sure if you are familiar with the store but you used to have to go in, look through a catalouge and write out a slip with the product # for what you wanted. I can't tell you how many times I waited for something only to be told it was out of stock. Now I only have to figure out wherestore 106 was.

Not dim at all brother cheers

In this case the Palitoy overstock just means figures that were made but didn't make it to the packaging lines and were sold when the factory closed as a job lot. The seller was lucky enough to pick up large quantities of several figures (Madine, Luke Jedi, Luke X-wing ect) most of which are mint condition Very Happy

by **grinchy** Fri Sep 04, 2020 3:26 pm

Cheers for the info mate, sounds very cool, and the figure is minty clapping

This is a POCH brown neck Lando with a slight difference, he is a 2 line Unitoy POCH Lando but the left leg (Made in Hong Kong) is Kader so mixed limbs in the factory(they used what they had available) What a Face

[300][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/300][300][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/300]The left leg should look like this one so to a Lando focus collector an interesting little find cheers

Big thanks to my good friend Ahmed Boukarrouh for pointing it in my direction bowwing

Another great addition to the collection mate, looks great

Great job on the close-up photos, Andy. This is some advanced variant Identification. If I were just going off memory, I'd probably assume those two were the same. rofl

Ian, that's a fantastic lot of reading material. It should keep you busy for the winter.

by **Cardnut** Tue Sep 22, 2020 2:53 am

Nice pickup [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] that is quite an assorted mix of materials. I see some wax packs in there as well, nice!

by **grinchy** Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:27 pm

Cheers guys, but the seller cancelled my order and refunded my money, no explanation really, very cheesed off, aww well there will be another one cheers guys

by **Cardnut** Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:38 pm

Man that is crappy, dirty rat, I hate when sellers are dishonest like that. At least you weren't out your money but hate it when you get excited for something and it gets taken away. Kind of like thinking you are getting a nice Star Wars t-shirt for Christmas and it turns out to be underwear, useful but certainly can't show it off to your friends!
