About this deal

While close-to-lifesize, functioning replicas of BB-8 made a big splash when they released alongside The Force Awakens, let's not forget the reason Star Wars needs a cute, sassy, non-verbal droid in it in the first place. This Ultimate Collector's Edition Star Destroyer was released in 2002, by far the largest Star Wars set ever released at that time. It's pretty standard, depicting the intimidating warship produced in mass quantities during the reign of Galactic Emperor Palpatine, but to its credit, it also includes a cool mini-model of the Alderaan cruiser Tantive IV. Variants, like the vinyl cape Jawa and small head Han Solo, can be highly valuable for their rarity and desirability. Vintage Star Wars Collectors features an excellent post about different Star Wars action figure variants and what they mean to collectors. This enormous 2019 Lego set is an authentic recreation of Darth Vader's former Imperial Destroyer Devastator as featured in A New Hope. In Star Wars canon, the Devastator appeared in battles at Scarif, Hoth, and Endor, and on top of that captured the first starship ever to appear on screen in a Star Wars film, the Tantive IV - and this mammoth-sized build definitely lives up to the spirit of its inspiration's illustrious past.

Stretch goals include "Making the figures look like human people and not melted butter sculptures." Speaking of action figures that look nothing like the actors they're modeled after, Kenner was apparently unhappy with their original sculpt of Han Solo and wanted to make a new one that more closely resembled Harrison Ford. They succeeded completely because, as we all know, Harrison Ford has an absolutely enormous head that is totally out of proportion to the rest of his body. What makes Star Wars action figures valuable? Several factors combine to dictate a given Star Wars action figure’s value, including: It features nine Minifigures and a bevy of mind-numbingly cool features, making it the perfect build for a group of Star Wars fans ready to embark on a journey of wonder and imagination. Star Wars is renowned for its iconic, memorable characters and alien designs. Both A New Hope, The Force Awakens, and The Last Jedi have scenes just showing you all the weird creatures the Henson company came up with, and, in the heyday of the pre-Disney Star Wars Expanded Universe, many of those creatures were fleshed out into full characters.

Inarguably the coolest Imperial fighter is the TIE Interceptor, introduced in Return of the Jedi but apparening much earlier in the Star Wars timeline. A mass-produced fighter based on the design of Darth Vader's TIE Advanced X1 prototype, the Interceptor is better and safer than the TIE Fighter but not too safe- it's got more guns and a slightly stronger hull, and its speed and profile make it super hard to hit, but it's still ridiculously fragile. Any given Star Wars action figure is worth whatever someone will pay for it, but experts agree on several notable examples that carry high value.Can you imagine thinking a Star Wars movie was going to bomb? I mean without the internet telling you it will. This extremely sizeable 2008 set features twenty-four Minifigures and droids set against a hugely interactive Lego version of the planet-destroying Death Star, split into a series of miniature replicas of scenes from A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. The modern grading scale is intended for action figures manufactured after 1995, and grades from 1 to 10, in increments of 0.25. Like the standard scale, the modern scale applies gold, silver, and bronze levels: MODERN GRADING SCALE These values only apply to vintage Star Wars action figures – the average figure produced from the early 1990’s to the present is worth only a couple of dollars.

So here's "Blue Snaggletooth," also known as Zutton or Z-Ton. This figure, part of Kenner's "Cantina Adventure Set", is based on one of those dudes we see for two seconds when Luke enters the Cantina for the first time. According to Wookiepedia, Zutton is an artist who frequents Jabba's Palace and writes stories about the events he sees around Mos Eisley. Were you thinking that every single entry on this list was going to be from the 70s? That's fair! Most of them have! This is one of the more recent entries on the list, so its scarcity comes by design and not because everyone thought Star Wars was going to totally bomb. Oh man, look at this thing! Remember playsets? Those weird cross-section cutouts of movie locations scaled to fit your collection of appropriately themed toys? (Sold seperately.) I know they still make them but these seem like such a relic of the 80s and 90s, although this little number comes in a little earlier even than that. What kid didn't see Star Wars for the first time and say "Forget the Millenium Falcon and those X-Wings, I want that extremely slow-moving giant brown metal thing the droids get captured in!" Fulfilling a market that absolutely cannot have been demanding its release, here we have the radio controlled Jawa Sandcrawler.The general rule for collectibles is ‘scarcity creates value,’ and this certainly applies when it comes to Star Wars figures,” says Schutzer. “The most value pieces are going to be the most rare. It’s very important to rule out any mistakes as well as rule out the possibility of reproductions, which do exist.” The original Star Wars action figures tend to be the most valuable; however, it’s important to note there are multiple Star Wars action figure series, as described by Jedi Business:

Made by Kenner in 1978, this four-layer dip of a playset is like a snapshot of locations from the original Death Star, with a gun turret, the chasm Luke and Leia swing over, Vader & Obi-Wan's duel and, of course, the trash compactor. It's like a video game vertical slice: really everything major that happens on the Death Star is represented here, in exaggerated action-figure size. Luke & Leia could probably have just stepped over the chasm if this was to scale, not to mention how easy it would be for the Imperials to find them.

I mean, sure. I guess someone out there wants a minifig of George Lucas, with his cute little seventies haircut and his little director's clapboard and his nerd-wear plaid shirt that he probably has a million of and cost thousands of dollars because who cares?
