Inherited Rare Turkish Uzay Collection – Need Expert Evaluation & $30k Offer Advice

darth mocha · 2025-06-27T13:00:46+0100

Hi everyone,

My name is Darth Mocha, writing to you from Türkiye.

My father recently passed away and left me his Star Wars action figure collection, mostly from the 1970s and 1980s. While sorting through them, I discovered that around 20 of these figures are part of the rare Turkish bootleg line known as "Uzay".

As many of you already know, Uzay figures were unlicensed Star Wars toys produced in Turkey in the 80s, often featuring strange card art, odd colors, and hilarious names. After doing some research and sharing a few pictures locally, I was contacted by a vintage toy store in the United States, and they offered me $30,000 USD for the entire collection.

I'm reaching out to this community for help with the following:

Authenticity & Valuation – I've attached high-res images of the figures. I'd love your thoughts on condition, rarity, and individual value of the Uzay figures in particular.
Is the $30k offer fair?
Advice on selling – Should I sell the whole set to the store or try individual auctions via eBay, Hake's, or Facebook groups?

Any help, feedback, or links to expert resources would mean a lot. I want to do justice to my father's legacy, and I know this community has some of the most knowledgeable collectors out there.

Thank you in advance!

Was it Dallas Vintage Toys?

Also, regardless of who it is, is offering you 30-60% of what they will retail it for imo.

What you are doing now is exactly the right thing, research and look for advice take your time.

Your Father has built his collection over time and you are doing that justice by taking advice and taking time.

Good luck with it

I suspect that this is too niche for here, no disrespect to anyone, honestly.
I would recommend you join a dedicated Uzay collectors page on Facebook for the information on these.
Again, same thing goes…be wary and question everything.
Good luck with them, they must mean a lot to you.
