Well hello everyone! This is my first post here and most assuredly not my last.
I just came into a collection of unopened 1977/1978 Kenner Star Wars toys. Old story short: My Grandmother had bought the toys long ago thinking they may be worth something far in the future. I eventually was given them and have taken photos of every toy. Alas, I do not have any Double-Telescoping figures nor the vinyl cape Jawa. All of them are in really good condition though save for one, C-3P0.
Never-the-less, I have an R2-D2 that sticks-out like a sore thumb. I was told that my grandmother tried to get the entire collection from here-and-there and this one baffles me. You will see on the bottom-right corner of the figure, it says "La Guerre des Etoiles" instead of "Kenner".
I have looked and looked for any reference to this but all I can find are R2-D2 figures where instead of "Star Wars" it says "La Guerre des Etoiles" which is correct, translating to Star Wars.
Any assistance on where this is from and perhaps, the value? I'll probably post-up the entirety of my new-found collection if anyone was interested too?
Cheers!
