Spectacular. Loved these for a very long time. Slightly out of my price range, though.

No announcement yet.
Remember when they made 8" Star Wars figures in 1979?

GREAT CAESARS GHOST!!!!
I did not hallucinate this... we DID get this in CANADA?! I got confused and assumed I had seen it in Hong Kong at some point during my childhood in a Japanese Dept store (although it's very likely I did as well).

I know I definitely saw these boxed figures in Hong Kong as a kid...

Dear Lord... I think my objective for this year's trip to japan is vintage Star Wars.

Only the Luke and Leia got released in Japan, so luckily it's a small (but expensive) line to collect. I saw a Leia in a trashed Takara box at one of the stores in Broadway mall last year, (the one that sells US toys), I can't remember the exact price but it wasn't cheap.

I vaguely remember seeing these in stores back in the late 70's. They were only released in Japan (bagged) and Canada (carded). It's possible you saw some in HK Ed, imported from Japan, but they wouldn't have been on cards like this.Comment

Oh yeah, those were white whales in the mid nineties. I found a loose one at a flea market once, got a good buck for it IIRC.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions
