realistic price to pay for palitoy Deathstar playset

[Cocobean]

As the title says I've been outbid recently on a boxed deathstar and missed out on a few over the last couple of months what would you think a realistic price would be to purchase one and is it worth putting a wanted advert on here

It all depends on condition and what you'd be happy with.

For an ungraded, really nice one, complete in a half decent box it's an easy £500 and upwards.

For one in a tatty box, missing the usual bits like the canopy, instruction sheet and stands - £300 plus.

For a complete loose one, £150 - £200 easy.

It's a really great piece and worth every penny.

Good luck.

Thank you that's pretty much what I was expecting to be honest so no surprises there ha so do any come up on these forums for sale or is it one of those that are so sought after that many are still looking for it themselves I'm getting so close to completing my boxed playsets and vehicles but still need a few rare items and this is one of them

There have been LOADS on ebay just recently!

Do you want one with or without a nice box ? :?

Yeah I've noticed them recently on eBay I just seem to miss out or don't get notified by my mobile when it's due to end :-( seems to be a few unboxed however I'd like one with a box I don't really collect loose vehicles or playsets just loose figures as I can't afford moc ones ha

I bought one with a damaged box that was nearly complete last year on ebay and this year I found one with a very nice box in a lot with some other boxes. So I could put them together to a complete one with a nice box and the rest with the damaged box I sold. Doing that I paid maybe £250 for a complete palitoy deathstar with a very nice box, but I still miss the instruction.

I have seen some pay £700 for a set that look like the one I have.

So maybe it would be cheaper for you to put 2 together and sell the spare parts :wink:

Good idea pomse2001 to be honest I've done that with other playsets it's finding one with a box that's difficult or at least a nice box I have a small list of items I need to complete my collection not finish it of course because I'll always look to improve to misb for everything if possible etc but to just get a full set and certain items as I'm sure people will agree just seem to be difficult to find or at least at an affordable price obviously some people on here have the funds to have the collection most can only dream of kind of make me reluctant to show mine on the display section of the forums although once I get my figures on display I will share simply to join in ha

Just an update thank you everyone for their advice I managed to get one on eBay and later that day just like busses 2 came up a one with a better conditioned box so ended up with 2 so will assess the better pieces and quickly get rid of the other before the credit card bill comes in ha

Congratulations, if you have an extra instruction then I would like to buy it :wink:

Thank you unfortunately only one has a manual or at least that's what was listed I guess I won't know until they arrive
