origanal prices

[jabbawokkie]

does anyone know how much the stuff cost back in the day
i am sure at its peak i was paying Ã'£1.25 for a figure from asda ,but as most of the ships were got as birthday or christmas presents i never really took much notice of the prices

 

[craignwo4life]

I don't remember ever paying for a figure although it was probably taken out of my pocket money!! :lol:

It's weird but the only figure I remember actually opening was the Emperor. :?

 

[jabbawokkie]

I can remember on the day I went to visit my secondary school, my mum bought me a wicket. that was Ã'£2.25.

I think i still have the cardback at home somewhere.

Ranging from Ã'£3.50 at times to 50p later on..... Oh the memories

 

[jabbawokkie]

what about the ships ,any ideas

I didn't think they were as expensive as Ã'£3.50 :shock: :?

someone on ebay was selling a snowspeeder with the price tag of Ã'£11.99 the other day

 

[TWOFOOT]

I have a power droid 20 back cardback with Ã'£1.29 on.

 

[PhantomShadow]

for figures I remember price tags of Ã'£1.75, Ã'£1.99 and then towards the end 99p

Not sure about ships and stuff - for some reason I have Ã'£9.99 for the Deathstar in my head, bur I think it was more than that

 

[Bollux]

I paid 50p each for.

Wicket
Han Carbonite
Luke Stormy

and probably loads others towards the end...

I think I paid Ã'£3.50 - Ã'£4 for some of the last 17 I bought in 1985. I mean thats what my parents paid for them! lol

I think I managed to get about 7 of the last 17 at this price at the same seaside shop. I should have cleared the shop and kept them in storage!

i didnt think they were that cheap ,what about the falcon and at at

 

[Bollux]

Jabba, the price was then crossed out and reduced to Ã'£5.99!

the good old days!

i think my parents said the falcon was about Ã'£30 and the at-at about Ã'£50...

 

[AndyG]

Most of the figures I bought were around the Ã'£1.25 mark.

Some one on another site (I think it was IOP) said about Ã'£12 for the deathstar.

 

[jabbawokkie]

that just seems weird them being so cheap

 

[sith-smith]

but that's about 1978/9.

That might have been quite a lot back then.

And remember it is only cardboard

 

[jabbawokkie]

just what my mate said
it just seems such a price drop with not knowing the prices in the first place

 

[sith-smith]

Price drop?

From what they go for now?

Figures are far worse in terms of how much they go for now compared to back in the day. :twisted:
