The other factor is which figures are more popular with character focus collectors as most of them will collect foreign cards as well as kenner.

Its wierd how some of the popular figures are rare and some are easy to find, Vaders are easy, Lukes are hard. R2's are much harder to find than 3po's. I think a few sealed cases were found of certain figs sometime after the films which boosted numbers. Its the same with Meccano's - loads of Jawas and Bens but the rest are a lot more difficult.

I think there was a case of palitoy ROTJ boba fetts and C3-PO Removeable limbs which is why there are so many AFA 90's out there.

weasel said:
Solid cases of certain figures were sold, as opposed to an assortment. Off the top of my head I know there were certainly solid cases sold of R2 and 3PO and probably Luke and Vader too.
Secondary characters were sold in assortments, so they were limited in distribution compared to other characters, it's no different today. Given LXW was the only hero character in the second wave, and that some figures were bundled in specail offer packs like the cantina, it makes sense that some are very difficult to find as a result.

Rarity changes.
Luke is no longer the rarest of the 12 to find, Chewie probably is.
This may change in the future.

I reckon in my opinion, this is a current order of expense. Rarity is pretty similar, though i'd probably swap chewie and Luke around.

Wow, lots of new palitoy 12 back collectors. We'll have to start a 12 back palitoy club and do badges or something. (once you get a full set of course!)

Problem is more Palitoy sales go on below the radar than openly. I did not get a single one of the first 20 from eBay or a show of any kind. I had nearly two sets, minus a a few of the tough 4. I think of the second set only the Han and luke came from eBay.
There have been a few vaders about, but i think some are in fact the same vader. I can remembe about 4/5 years ago, there were about 3/4 lukes on there in the space of a couple of months.
