[QUOTE="Darth Wensleydale, post: 21142, member: 160"] I'd suspect that the figures are original as its unusual for these sets to be broken up if the box, fragile tray and pegs have survived. This looks to be an early set as it has the DT Luke and so the Chewbacca should match by having the early green bowcaster. The figures could have been swopped for other more mint examples over the years but you probably wouldn't be able to tell as theres no difference from those released on later cards. If all the figures were sealed in baggies then you'd be looking at £500+ for the set (with all paperwork). All the baggies were tape sealed only - never heat sealed as far as I know. There are two baggie variations correct for the set, one has 'Made in Hong Kong' in white writing and one in black. There was also a coupon for the mail away figure stand and one of two early Kenner catalogues with the set originally although they are missing on this one. I'd say the value is there or thereabouts but I would perhaps have expected the catalogue or leaflet to be included for that price. [/QUOTE]
