in a landfill far, far away . . .

'Some Legends Refuse to stay Burried!'

Celebrating 50 Years since A New Hope (1077) hit the cinemas we bring you a crazy spoof (or is it) documentary based on a conversation in a pub about the search for 'The Palitoy Pit', a now mythical burial site for the last Star Wars figures ever produced by UK toy manufacturer, Palitoy, in the mythical Coalville

In May 1985, all manufacturing was moved overseas and in 1994 the Palitoy site was closed for good. But what happened to all those unwanted Star Wars figures? Toys that could now be worth tens of thousands of pounds in the thriving collectibles market. Rumour has it that Luke, Han and the gang were thrown into one or more secret landfill sites and 'The Palitoy Pit' myth was born.

New details have emerged of possible locations for the haul. As a massive rail infrastructure ploughs towards some of the suspected burial sites, the clock is ticking. Marc Hammil assembles a rag tag team who survive as soldiers of fortune. In his home town of Coalville can he solve the mystery and find the treasure or will a rich toy collector swoop in to steal the glory?

So follow us treasure hunters for a new hopeful search for 'The Palitoy Pit' and a piece of plastic history.

Here’s a recent interview with the Director and Producer of the film, for BBC Radio Leicester.

'In a Landfill Far, Far Away' is currently in production and will be seeking distribution or co-production.
