Inherited Rare Turkish Uzay Collection – Need Expert Evaluation & $30k Offer Advice

[darth mocha]

Hi everyone,


My name is Darth Mocha, writing to you from Türkiye.


My father recently passed away and left me his Star Wars action figure collection, mostly from the 1970s and 1980s. While sorting through them, I discovered that around 20 of these figures are part of the rare Turkish bootleg line known as "Uzay".

As many of you already know, Uzay figures were unlicensed Star Wars toys produced in Turkey in the 80s, often featuring strange card art, odd colors, and hilarious names. After doing some research and sharing a few pictures locally, I was contacted by a vintage toy store in the United States, and they offered me $30,000 USD for the entire collection.

I'm reaching out to this community for help with the following:

1. Authenticity & Valuation – I've attached high-res images of the figures. I'd love your thoughts on condition, rarity, and individual value of the Uzay figures in particular.
2. Is the $30k offer fair?
3. Advice on selling – Should I sell the whole set to the store or try individual auctions via eBay, Hake's, or Facebook groups?

Any help, feedback, or links to expert resources would mean a lot. I want to do justice to my father's legacy, and I know this community has some of the most knowledgeable collectors out there.


Thank you in advance!
