Andyclarke said:Seriously amazing piece though. Just seen Tuesday 28th March for the next sale. Was beginning to wonder if Vectis were getting any new Star Wars in.
I have no idea to be fair but the only thing that would surprise me would be it going cheap :lol:wrighty said:lejackal said:20K plus then if they advertise it correctly
£20k, no way!! :shock:
ScruffyLookingNH said:I bet it tops 20k. If you think about it, a standard Kenner one is what, 10k? Now chuck a Harbert sticker on the back. That's a good chunk of change there for sure. And here's the kicker: Factor in that our US and Singaporean big spending friends find their $$$ go an extra 20% further than usual and you're looking at a big ticket item. I really wouldn't surprise me if this did 25k.

Nah, I dont think so. Not many VC Jawas are hitting the £10k mark ($12k give or take), unless they are mega highly graded. This is cool, but quite niche. I'd say it might hit £10k... might.

They may save on the currency but loose on the tax and duty when bringing it in to the country you may find the foreign buyers are in the same position as us.
Is this figure a normal Kenner 12 Back VCJ with a Harbert sticker on it or is the card different in some way?
Thanks for your help
ScruffyLookingNH said:Really? Wow. Goes to show how hard it is to value this sort of thing. If it was a Tusken or similar I'd agree, but a VCJ is a bit like Boba: everyone wants him. Although the Harbert sticker is niche, no doubt, this is a rarity on a rarity. Look what happened to the Meccano Boba? OK, so Fett tax adds a lot but that's also a niche item. I look forward to watching what happens! If this goes for 10k I'd be tempted to sod the mortgage off for another year

Just my opinion. I know there are a few dedicated Harbert collectors though, so this could go silly as you suggest. I wouldn't even see £10k as a bargain tbh. At the end of the day, it's a sticker variation - fans of those are fewer than I think we'd like to think.

So to me it makes sense to get it graded and sell from there! I know there are the grading and non-grading camp, we are talking maximum profit here!!
