    Loose figure price increases? ?

    Here is some Star Wars Tracker data from the last 2 years. Prices were trading in a nice channel of £80 to £200 at the top end for a good while. Then around May 2020 it all kicks off. Cheers, Jared.

    MOC Rarity

    The next version of Star Wars Tracker (www.starwarstracker.com) is going to be including functionality to have a go at answering these questions. Since I now have 5+ years of good quality data, it's possible to make connections and rank all the sales against each other. Not only prices being...

    Bossk ESB 31a back Kenner

    I'm a little surprised that this variation commands such a premium well beyond others. I admit it's a little bit dangerous to extrapolate relative scarcity of MOC variations from completed sales in Star Wars Tracker (eg, there might be hundreds of 79A examples on eBay right now, but they aren't...

    Vintage loose valuation

    I think you need to be really sure of the condition of your figures (ie, really good condition) to go ahead with grading and expect the value to be retained. Here's a bit of food for thought using Star Wars Tracker to demonstrate with a B-Wing pilot. If your figure only ends up grading in the...

    Things I cant seem to find a value on

    Just in case you haven't tried, you can widen the date range on Star Wars Tracker to see if that helps. For example, if I open up the search to the last 5 years then you get 8 prices for the CCP on 48a. Including *graded* in the search can also be helpful to get some insight into prices if...

    Harbert moc valutation please

    Here's a bit more data from Star Wars Tracker going back to 2012 - I'm including graded MOC here just to boost the hits a little. I guess the main take home is that Harbert MOC very rarely come to open market

    Best way to flatten curved cardback?

    If this is the case, perhaps just put it in a toploader? You will need to make sure the size is right, but here's an example if you've not heard of them before: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultra-Pro-Toploaders-Clear-Regular/dp/B004KHV24W I keep all my cardbacks in them to keep them safe and to...

    Tsukuda Question

    I saw a Kenner 65A Tsukuda MOC a year or two back for the first time - usually the sticker is on the 65B where the ewoks are included. Only one I ever saw, was fortunate enough to get a picture from the seller on eBay.

    THE VINTAGE REBELLION : Episode 46 LAUNCHED

    Great show as usual, still working through it. Thought I would share some pics of the Droid Factory packaging from Star Wars Tracker reference images. These are the Kenner and Kenner Canada variations. One thing I am curious of with the ESB packaging is that Luke appears to be a DT Luke if you...

    Whats more rare?

    Let's just keep it simple and compare for one cardback Kenner 65A. Over the last year, less sales for the blue saber and for the most part 2x the price compared to the green version.

    Set loose from an AFA tomb

    GW Acrylic cases and Star Wars Tracker labels - a match made in heaven and a serious alternative to grading! :)

    Palitoy ATAT Driver

    Hi, I have a couple of prices in Star Wars Tracker for this piece, but I had to go back a couple of years - they do not seem to be very common at all. Latest one was in May 2016 for £373 from eBay, previous to that was £396 from Vectis. The valuation of £400 earlier is a good one, but perhaps...

    What is the Market Price and Who Decides it?

    I use Star Wars Tracker to get an approximation of these questions. It's not foolproof but can help gauge things. On the desktop version you can sort price guide results by how many samples seen. So for the Gammy, you can instantly see for example that a 65D is not seen nearly as often as a 65B...

    Have prices peaked? Where are they going?

    As an intermission to this discussion and to give some hope for prices to come down, here's a slide I put together for my celebration panel in 2016 that shows the rise and fall of boxed 12 inch figures over a 15 year period (based on guide prices from various guides through the years). The moral...

    Is Star Wars only for the rich ?

    As a side note, I don't think any collectors with these sprawling massive all encompassing collections are rich - they have just been at it for years and decades now and have built it up slowly over time. They have likely purchased all the expensive stuff at much cheaper prices in days gone by...

    Insurance for collectors.

    Hi, I use http://www.starwarstracker.com to keep a record for all my stuff - obviously ;). Below are a couple of example screens from the desktop version to show what kind of details you can capture. If you are worried about being able to prove these actually are yours, I'm pretty generous with...

    Last Jedi - Blood Red Title

    Hi, Has it been discussed anywhere yet what the significance of the poster logo being red for The Last Jedi means? It has always been gold until this latest chapter. Does it have any kind of significance? Or just a change for the heck of it? I thought it might symbolize some kind of...

    ESB Yoda.

    Bit late to the party here, but £225 is a good estimate. Someone was willing to pay around £200 earlier this year for the same example (was from the US though). It's a nice example!
