Guess the value

[BlueDog]

This pics been doing the rounds for a while now but just looking at it today I was thinking about the value of this lot in todays money, must be easily in the 100's of thousands £ mark.

I can see at least two full racks of Boba Fetts, 2 racks of Yoda and a couple of Luke FB. not to mention all that Diecast :shock: Such a cool pic, drooool.

If you evened it out at £500 a card it works out at **** loads of cash.!!!!

 

[BlueDog]

Crazy to think that the value of 1 Fett today would've probably bought the entire stock back in the day.

Great to see the photo, brings back memories

**** me running! What a great photo. That's one big arse toy shop. Empire era.. I wonder if you could work out what cardback we're at from the figures visible? Anyone know where or when this is? Bloody well stocked that's for sure. Got to be worth over half a mil in todays money.

178,000 roughly…minus the die cast

1200 roughly old money

I reckon a lot more than that, the Fetts alone would be worth about 40,000+ and there's got to be over 600 figures there - case fresh!

Some photo, which is priceless in itself, for everything else their's Mastercard.

Well it's an 8x10 display of MOCs, and let's say a conservative average of 5 deep, so that's 400 figures. Average £200 per MOC, that's 80k. Yes the Fett's are worth £500+ each, but there are also a lot of sub £100 MOCs there too like Lobot, WBG, Leia Hoth etc. So including the Die Casts I reckon about 120k too.

Not bad value IMO even at today's money for 400 carded figures considering single Palitoy MOCs are selling for 5-10k each now! I'd rather have 400 Kenner MOCs than 25 Palitoys

DROOLS. that is all

Some choice as well, some of those figures I never evan saw when I was a kid.

 

[Mr-shifter]

I doubt that are all case fresh. Some 16 year old saturday boy had to get them all out of boxes, stick a price sticker on them and put them out on the hangers.

I dont suppose they were treated like we treat mocs today.

Still a sight to behold though!

The only single rack I can count every card on has nine figures if that helps. 10 is probably the maximum. In this shot we see 8 x 12 racks of figures (count 'em from Bossk to Lobot). Use whatever average you wish to put on it and do the maths. Personally I would average 6 maybe 7 cards per rack.

I am sure the store had shed loads of ships as well

It is a fantastic picture.

I wonder what the rest of the Star Wars display was like! 8)

Just came back to have another look at this photo. You can quite clearly see which are the most popular selling figures - Han Bespin and Luke farm boy. Dengar and Chewie have a couple of almost empty hangers. Dengar seems to be one those figures in least abundance along with Vader and Greedo. A few look to be missing - R5, Jawa, Leia Organa and Sandperson. It appears that 4LOM isn't there and neither are Zuckuss, FX-7 or 21-B . Did they come out a wave or two later (may help date the photo). R2 is the most densely stocked on the original cardback with Bossk and Stormtrooper coming not far behind

I must be bored :lol:

I did pretty much the same and drew conclusions that R2 and Stormie were probably very popular and stocked accordingly rather than there being a lot of them because they hadn't sold. Interesting to spot the missing though, can someone confirm the wave release on these?

Wow that is an awesome picture! :mrgreen:
