Palitoy ROTJ 1983 Competition Promotion Comic Entry Form

Entry Form for Lucasfilm/Palitoy Star Wars ROTJ 1983 Competition

Whilst rummaging through my comic collection I found this old competition leaflet. To be honest, I'd completely forgot I had it, so it was a nice "oh yeah, I remember this" moment.

The competition was to win some Palitoy toys including a special viewing of Return of the Jedi, the Rebel Transport and AT-ST vehicles. To enter you had to finish of the story outlined in the comic. I honestly can't remember if I entered the competition or not. I suspect I had intentions of doing so and never got around to it. 




Pretty cool, huh? I think so. I wish I'd entered the competition though. 

Value and rarity?

I've scoured the internet, and whilst I've seen a few websites on the internet with images that at first glance look the same, but they seem to be two-page ads from comics/magazines. I have to date only found one website with an another example of this comic/competition entry form. 
Difficult to put a value on it. If there were definite plenty of other examples out there then in it may be £40-60 ball-park. Certainly I've seen similar leaflets go for this type of money on eBay. Scarcity could push the value up a lot more. That's just my gut feel, and I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination so don't quote me on it. 😊

Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure Poster

 Poster advertising the release of Caravan of Courage in video stores. 

I'd say this is a really nice collectors piece. I think it dates back to 1990, when the film came was released on video. 

For the record, I enjoyed both Ewok movies; Caravan of Courage, and the follow-up, Battle for Endor. Okay, not top-end Star Wars movies, but enjoyable nonetheless.


What is the poster worth?

You're more likely to stumble across reproductions of the original movie theatre poster, or more recent posters that look very different. With this being a poster from when the film came on video, it's possible that these are pretty rare but they do come occasionally. I think £40-50 would be reasonable, though it could to £100 if someone really wants it. 

Tip: Watch out for reproductions!
