Cool, you've got most of the Palitoy trade catalogues, I have an 85 and a French Miro-Meccano one you haven't got featured. I have the wholesale price lists too, which are what the prices to retailers were. I also have a whole load of Palitoy invoices for toy shops, which shows the case price and in some instances the case assortments too, which is pretty interesting if you like that sort of thing?

Off the top of my head, also have 3 or 4 French comic ads you've not got, a couple of UK ones, plus also a flyer offer, similar to the 'Yes it's true' showing pretty much the same offer.

All the best,

Dave.

Everything is welcome, although I do have a backlog of stuff not hosted yet. Including these French adverts:

Although that is as big as they get, if you have higher res. pics that would be great!

Not sure how best to list these, as the wholesale ones are a tad complicated to post, probably would look a lot better as a spreadsheet, but here goes:

Here are the retail prices from ToyMaster

Figures:
1982 £1.50 (9 to choose form)
1984 £1.49 later to £1.59

Vehicle Prices 1984:
Lance/ Shaft/ Dart £2.50 each
SAS Hawk & Blades £6.95
SAS Wolverine & Hunter £9.95
Space Force Triad Fighter £11.95
Q Force Sealion £12.95
Z Force APC £17.95
Roboskull £17.95

I have some Argos/ Grattans & Littlewood catalogues too, but might take a while to dig those out for prices, but hope that's of interest.

Dave.
