| Not being a preproduction guy I don't know that I recall exactly the difference in a chromalin, a proof, or even a box flat. I have heard the terms and using the way they are applied I infer things like preproduction and whatnot but as to what step each is exactly I don't know. Would be neat to see that rancor piece though. I didn't look up the rancor box art but I assume it has Luke Jedi on it since he is one of the 3 characters to actually share screen time with the rancor. _________________________________________________ Bryan

| I remember my local John Menzies, in Peterborough, having a brilliant Star Wars section & a display literally pilled high with boxes of plush Ewoks & other Tri-Logo vintage goodness.
I'm pretty sure it was the first place I found (& maybe even the only shop in town) that stocked the "last 17" & series 3 Action Force figures. |

| Craigy, congrats on the John Menzies poster (always loved that version) and the price sticker Luke Jedi. I have a Luke X Wing Pilot cardback with a John Menzies sticker on it and cherish it. The local John Menzies to me as a child in Birmingham has lots of happy memories - from buying Star Wars to Playmobil to Lego toys, to comics and books, and of course sweets! Here's a 1979 ad I own for John Menzies, no Star Wars toys on it but lots of other good things.  And, I had no idea they were still in business for parcels and logistics. What a treat to see that logo again! Thanks for bringing back some good memories mate  _________________________________________________ Paul F,

| Hi Bryan, Thanks for posting! To be honest, I am in the same boat as you. I only have a small number of pre-production and often rely on the SWCA Lexicon or Gus and Duncan's Guide to Star Wars Prototypes. Mattias Rendahl also has a book (A New Proof) that I hopefully have coming soon. Here’s the link to SWCA Lexicon: The Rancor Cromalin is the next piece to be framed but I have a few payment-plans to complete first. @ThundershotThank you too for taking the time to post and sharing your memories, I bet that must have been a wonderful sight! I remember receiving Tri-logo packaged figures - when I finally received Chewie, he was on a Tri-logo Card. For the last 17, I never knew that there were 17! I only ever saw Luke Stormtrooper and then loose in the playground – a school friend popped him out of his coat pocket and as fast as it was drawn-out, he put away. Hello Paul, It's always great seeing your paperwork. How’s the Luke X-wing focus going? I think John Menzies will always hold a place in our hearts! Glad you enjoyed. |
