The recent dream find of 450 vintage Star Wars figures – the kind of find you’d literally dream of as a kid (and adult to be honest) – has gone to auction, and raised an incredible £622,000. Stored away for 45 years, many of these figures were in unbelievable condition, including five double-telescoping Luke Skywalkers (one of which selling for £34,680), eight Boba Fetts (one sold for £10,898), and a case of 24 unopened Yoda figures which went for £18,360. The visionary buyer bought multiple figures, keeping them in storage while his kids played with their figures.
“There was a lot of buzz in the Star Wars collecting world over this, the quality of it is just incredible.
Seeing it now is like being transported back to a toy shop in the late 1970s. Whatever Star Wars you would have wanted at the time is there.
They haven’t been touched and are still in their sealed boxes. It is mind-blowing.”
