Someone’s going to sleep well tonight. Today’s VECTIS auction saw this Romer Parrish Star Wars store display – packed with vintage figures, vehicles and mini rigs – sell for an incredible £15,600, far above the anticipated £10,000.

Visitors to Farthest From will remember a piece very similar to this was on display at the event a few years back, yet another reason why you need to visit the show where vintage collectors will see things you just don’t see anywhere else.
