I have some absolutely mint loose complete figures that will be up for sale shortly. I will be selling on behalf of a friend, who has recently found his childhood figures when clearing out his parents' loft. He was 13 when SW came out, so although he had the first 12 figures, he hardly played with them, meaning they are in fantastic condition and all complete.

The Jawa, Sandpeople, Vader & Threepio are the mintiest I've ever seen and are as if they were just opened. The capes smell beautiful lol!

Jawa- absolutely mint- no paint loss, no rips to cape etc.
C3PO- absolutely mint & uncracked
R2D2- again, pretty much mint. Dome clicks. The pics don't do it justice.
Darth Vader- absolutely mint, saber complete, no rips to cape.
Ben- very good nick, tiny paint loss. Tip of saber missing. No rips to cape.
Chewie- mint.
Leia- good condition- slight 'age spots' on arms and cape has a couple of areas of very faint yellowing. Only noticed this on very close examination. No rips to cape.
Sandpeople- absolutely mint. No paint loss to horns, no rips to cape.

Dam you you git though!!, thought I may finally get a minty pin head, one of only 2 figures I need to upgrade.

I will be sod all use with values, but I dread to think what the VCJ value will be.

Congrats on your additions ;)

I won't suggest a value as I currently have feelers out for a few of these to fill my Action Stand/Early Bird card stand and would like a shout at buying them if you get valuations and then have an interest in selling:
- R2
- Chewie
- Leia
- Tusken Raider
Cheers
Steve

I bet you could ask £11/1200 for the VCJ and sell inside a week for pretty close to that especially on FB. I'd like to say 800 would easily be fair but you'd need to be careful it didn't just get flipped

I would definitely be interested in Vader if you sell but tough to put a value on the rest.

I bought a near mint, recently cracked threepio from a forum member for £20 not so long ago but I suspect I got a good deal.

Thanks Iain- pretty similar to what I thought. Was thinking the Threepio may be worth a little more though. The Leia gun looks black to me...

Yoda, yes I'm keeping the small head Han (sorry Frank!), 2x Stormies, DSC and blonde LFB. They've been in an ice cream tub for around 37 years and they smell like new 8)

That's cool if you happen to put the Jawa on the forum depending on the price and I've had a few beers I might do something silly with my money again :lol:
Hope your sales go well whoever gets them they will be a great addition to someones collection.

1000 for a loose VCJ?! Wow are these really going for that much on FB!! Hard to believe that little figure used to be around a quarter of that price both loose and AFA graded. It is a great figure though and if that's the value of them now then I guess that's the price people have to pay.

Great find overall although I thought the first edition Leia came with a black blaster, perhaps this is an Empire or Jedi one?

Best of luck with them all though.

You might get a bit more for the C3PO - can always start higher and come down

The Leia should have a really dark blue blaster (almost looks black) - http://www.imperialgunnery.com/princessleiablasters.htm

There are no Leia Blasters (genuine) in jet black

Yes, Blue/Black that's what I was thinking it should be (or Green/Black if we really want to get into it :lol: ). Good to hear it's the correct one and not the Blue one although I don't see a picture of her.
