I love that poster... one of my favourites! I'm going to get my framed when I have a chance!

The puzzles are really cheap to get hold of too especially when you consider how nice the poster is!


Oh theres a Jabba and Darth too!

I agree the poster is such a nice bonus with the puzzle. I got mine from a secret santa gift exchange on RS a little over a year ago.

Hi Uli, no, I picked the poster up with a small lot of other SW toy posters, some vintage and some from the 90s. I've seen the jigsaw puzzle toys fairly cheap on Ebay but don't have any.

Thanks Craig, I wonder how many of the puzzles still have their original posters? Would be nice to get a complete one
I agree it would look good framed, you will have to post a picture if you get yours framed so we can see

Thanks Paul... it would be nice!

Here's one for you...

Two adverts from the Palitoy company advertising the (New at the time) Boba Fett figure. The larger one was in a Marvel Comic. The smaller one is a take home flyer from a store counter. The offer closed on June 30 1980 in both adverts. I actually thought the flyer was a window poster when I originally bought it on the bay as there was so much detail on the flyer. I remember being a little shocked when it turned up being that small.



Note: the "I'm Boba Fett" paragraph is on the reverse of the flyer as is the cut out coupon. You needed three character names and 20p.

I missed out on the separate auction for the actual UK Boba Fett mailer box and baggie. The original owner even had a courtesy letter (addressed to the same recipient) from Palitoy saying the first batch of mail-away Boba's were exhausted and that they were waiting for more and apologies for the delay.

Craig, they're both really cool Boba Fett adverts! I agree the smaller one does look to have a lot of detail. These would be great in someone's Fett focus. I like how they give a description of parts of his outfit and gear. Shame you missed out on the other auction, but you still have two very nice adverts there Thanks for sharing.

I think everyone loves Fett really! I have a little stash...

Craig nice afa90 carded Fett.

Redo your pic so you can show it off better,That stuff is to nice to be in a small pic.

I have a good collection of old Marvel,DC and Charlton comics, and I found these two great ads in a Marvel issue:

Official Star Wars Fan Club Ad:



The next one is completely bizarre! Not even sure if it's official? Darth Vader looks more like a prototype Skeletor, and the kid looks like a ten year old Luke
Seems to be a Heroes World Franchises. They spell Vader 'Vadar' lower down too. Any USA cousins out there remember or know of this?

Heroes World was THE place to buy from back then. They have some killer ads in comics from the late 70's/early 80's. It seems when ROTJ came out they quit putting out any ads. And the only place you could find them was in Marvel. I think Josh_T has a few I gave to him from some scrappy comics I had.

More great promo stuff guys.

Paul-love the comic inserts, especially the Lord Darth Vadar costume. If you're going to use the Star Wars brand to sell merchanidise shouldn't you at least get the name right?

Todd-I knew you weren't as bad as everyone was making you out to be, here and on that "other" forum. You share pictures and everything!

Thanks for the share guys.

Yeah...Just some people live sheltered lives and cant handle my brand of humor.

I thought I would revive this thread in honor of my first piece of promo material. Huge thanks to Paul(artoo-detour) for this poster I had my eye on! Going to have to upgrade the frame one of these days, this one doesn't do it justice--I was in a hurry to see it on the wall. Not up to par with Uli's collection, but it's a start.
Once again, big props to Paul for hooking me up!!

Brad, that is awesome in the frame mate! Good choice there with slim black frame

Glad it arrived safe n sound

Can't wait to get my posters framed now when I move house!! I was thinking red frames but now I've seen your black frame

Great stuff guy's, very nice.

Dan.

A nice poster "set in scene" very cool! Congrat!

This was for what they made this kind of paperwork (I think)

Uli

Haven't been in this thread for a while... some lovely pieces guys.


Paul: Great adds and a crazy looking darth Paul!

I love that Tri-poster Brad! I will have to pick one up it look fantastic framed over you collection!

Todd: I love that Palitoy advert... great stuff

Bump for this great thread.

Any of you new guys that just joined want to add any paperwork - posters, flyers, manuals, catalogues, adverts etc?
Welcome to post em up here.

Hoping to add a few myself in a week or two and hoping Craig will post his new ad slick & coa here

Kenner 1982 Catalogue came with my canadian speeder bike

What a damn great thread. I love books & paperwork etc. I think this could well be a direction of mine once i get the loose collection to a place where it slows down a lot.

This threads uber cool! I have a bunch of "paper" related stuff put into a scrapbook (3 ring binder). I'll have to dig it out and take some pics. I even have some cut out Fox Trot cartoon strips from the late 90's where Star Wars was mentioned.
