dream haul man. you must be pretty happy. star wars was a movie of a lifetime, never to be repeated in its novelty / newness just like van halen or jimi for music
I remember my younger brother Daniel had all these, and when Empire came out, he was ten years old, and he REALLY got into all this! But looking at these I would say you did a great score! Really cool!
Thank you very much I appreciate the comment and it sounds like I did according to a few RUclipsrs that specialize in the stuff and to some of my research thank you again
Thank you, I appreciate the comment and thank you for watching my video. I found out about this collection around six months ago, and i've been waiting patiently to get it. I don't know if you saw my other video, but I just picked up another batch from the same guy. I used to have all of these also when I was a kid. I've been slowly collecting my Star Wars all over again. Wish I would have had all the original stuff, however.
Thank you.Yes, that's what I've been researching and finding out.I appreciate your comment. I hope you like all of my videos.Thank you and keep checking back
Nice pick up. The early bird consisted of Luke, Leia, R2, and Chewbacca. The ones you kept referring to later series, are Return of the Jedi era - all vintage. These figures are my focus, so if you have more questions, lmk!
Only one i didnt have was the one from the medical droid slot. There's a way to check if the Weapons are fake by placing them in water to see if they float or sink
Oh really? Well that's pretty cool to know. So if they think they are real or if they float they are real which is it? Thanks for the comment and thanks for checking out my video
The bad thing is I was cleaning Obi wan kenobi and I bent the tip of his lightsabers. So now it is partially broke still hanging on halfway. I'm so angry. Thanks for checking out the video!
I was almost 16 when I finally got to go see Stars Wars in 77. Loved the first two movies. The toys were delayed because Lucas owned the rights to all merchandising. I guess several earlier movies had toys made. They all flopped toy wise. Only Planet of the Apes skyrocketed like the movies did. Lucas main guy approached the president of Mattel Toys. In the lobby of his hotel in NYC. Because he just missed the YC Toy fair. He blew the guy off like he was a fan boy. Biggest idiot movie in the history of toy makers by being a snobby jerk. So, Lucas's guy set up a meeting with Kenner Toys they jumped on it. But because the deal took so long the toys weren't ready at X-Mas time. kids got IOUs from Kenner toys. So, when they arrived at stores, they could walk in pick up their toys and show it at the registers. My favorite Star Wars products from 77-83. Were the movie posters, Skywalker jacket from Empire Strikes Back. And the Star Wars club only poster for Revenge of the Jedi. They were recalled I used to have three back in 82. They were recalled because of the huge mistake. The word Revenge instead of Return. Jedis never seek Revenge. I sold each one in 83 for like $500 each. My jacket was stolen at my drycleaner too. The three portfolios were beautiful too. I bought the first two at my local bookstores at the mall. I never saw the third one ever until like 1995. I wish I still had those. They also had Star Wars blueprints in a package too. Of every ship, light sabers, etc too. Probably of R2D2 and C3PO too in those. Conrads those original figures if in great condition can rake in craze money. Especially obscure figures or ones that were never seen in the final movies too. Or ones that had mistakes when they were manufactured at the toy factory.
Hey that's great I truly value all that fantastic information you provided that is just incredible I heard about a few of those stories that you mentioned but some of those I did not know. I was about 6 years old when I went to see Star Wars maybe maybe eight and it was the most fantastic thing I ever experienced I will always remember the Death Star coming out in the first scene and the whole movie theater rattled and it felt like it was coming out over top of me ever since then I was hooked and I'm still hooked to this day and I am 55 years old. Thank you very much once again and hopefully you continue to watch my videos and hopefully you subscribed also.
@@brucetaylor478 There's a program on the History Channel or Discovery. Toys that built America . They did one on the Star Wars story. It shows how stupid and arrogant Mattel's CEO was. It might be On Demand on the History channel if you care to check it out.
The sink or float tests mean nothing; as the reproduction weapons are getting better and better. Soon, they'll be indistinguishable from the originals. Nice score! The three double-telescoping figures (Ben, Luke, and Vader) are the most valuable in this collection. You got VERY lucky. The 2-1B medical droid figure isn't really valuable. Had him in 1982. A weird figure with the plastic see-through midriff.
Great score! Those stickers with the names on them came with the collector cases back in the day.
Wow that is totally awesome I didn't know that thanks for checking us out I paid $700 for the whole set FYI
That's what I thought because I had the Darth Vader case and it came with all the stickers. It really made kids want to collect them all.
dream haul man. you must be pretty happy. star wars was a movie of a lifetime, never to be repeated in its novelty / newness just like van halen or jimi for music
Very happy!. Red carrying case is valuable as well !
Appreciate you checking out the channel
The black figure in blue is a Bespin security guard, then the white dude with the mustache is also. Yes, they belong in the group. ;-)
That double telescoping lightsabre Luke is probably worth more than the rest of the case combined 😊👏👏
How much you think? I paid $700 for all of it
@brucetaylor478 honestly not sure but I still think you'd make your money back on more just on him alone.
Nice!
Absolutely!. I am still looking for this figure.
It looks like all three are Double telescoping I believe. I think 700 was a steal.
That pic of Princess Leia is awesome!
Thank you very much I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

Wow that bought back some memories - thanks for posting
Thank you for watching the video I really appreciate your support
That's a nice painting of Leia, great job on it.
Thank you very much I appreciate that!
You got an incredible score there! I’m jealous! I used to have most of these figures. I’d love to get them again.

A great score! Well done!! 👏
Thanks! 😊
Darth Vader has the telescoping light saber, that's a rare one.
Wow. all three are Double telescoping... Very nice and in fact rare.
Han Solo small head came from the first run, so it's kinda rare.
Thank you.Yes, that's what I've been researching and finding out.I appreciate your comment. I hope you like all of my videos.Thank you and keep checking back
Those are all Star Wars figures, you had two Bespin security guards there. One black, the other white with mustache.
That is correct. Those two figures are the Bespin - Cloud City security guards from The Empire Strikes Back movie released in 1980.
the black one and the other guy are cloud city guards and they do belong in there
Oh, that's awesome.I did not know that, thank you!
Thank you.
For watching my video.
When you turn your phone horizontal before recording, you get a larger video.
Thank you I will have to check that out
I thought I did do that sorry about that hopefully you enjoyed the video
Nice pick up. The early bird consisted of Luke, Leia, R2, and Chewbacca. The ones you kept referring to later series, are Return of the Jedi era - all vintage. These figures are my focus, so if you have more questions, lmk!
Thanks for the info for sure!
I do know the princess gun is worth 150$ by itself.
Wow! Really? That's crazy!
Gold gun/blaster is for Ree Yees 1983 og figure
The green figure’s name is Greedo. Not “Guido”.
When Star Wars was special.
Yes for sure!!!
Only one i didnt have was the one from the medical droid slot. There's a way to check if the Weapons are fake by placing them in water to see if they float or sink
Oh really? Well that's pretty cool to know. So if they think they are real or if they float they are real which is it?

@@brucetaylor478 well I'm having difficulty remembering float or sink 😆 sorry it's possible it's posted on Google
I'm Sure FeW Of ThoSe Are WorTh BiG BucKS
