Same here. Born in 71 and was perfectly primed for these toys. Can’t stand the franchise now and it’s brainless creators and fans. I had the Vader with extendable saber, the Med Droid, and Boba Fett with the projectile missile.
@@jackbedient those which you had weren't probably the valuable ones. the med droid (fx-7) is nothing special itself. i've got a couple of them. it was only that one special palitoy version mint on card which sold for so much money. all vaders had extendable sabers. the really rare and valuable ones have double extendable sabres (you could extend them twice and they were really long). and for the boba, you couldn't have had one with a removable projectile because they were never sold on the market. you must have had one with a fixed projectile for sure. maybe your memories trick you on this one.
That Jawa action figure! Omg I remember in 1978 when I was a kid trying to find that Jawa action figure, going from store to store over a period of a few weeks with no luck. Finally I found it at a Simpson's store and was thrilled, so I made my parents buy it for me lol. It was rare back then and it's still rare now.
The Jawa and R2 were near impossible to find. I couldn't believe it when my mother bought me two Jawas (cloth robes) saying "Well, there was more than one in the film, wasn't there?"
Just cause it is listed on EBay for that amount doesn't mean it worth that much. Tons of stuff on Ebay is over priced and probably never sells at the asking price.
That is why people go by sold/completed listings and check the feedback as confirmation. I often do this with a few things and keep a database over a few years to see if it's increasing in value
When I was a kid I saw a wire basket on a shelf in a Kmart full of figures kids tore out of the packages. Me and another kid were looking at them and he said, "Take one!" before I could say anything he grabbed a handful, shoved one in my hand and we both bolted out of there. I didn't look at it until I was safely in our car. It was a jawa and I thought, "What the Hell is this thing??" My first intro to Star Wars action figures.
not quite true. I begged my dad to by the action figures and leave them mint on card in storage when I was a teen. I didn't have the money to do it, and neither did my dad, who was unemployed at the time. He agreed with me though. Years later we kicked ourselves of course. I regret opening my vinyl caped jawa, my boba fett on Star Wars (not TESB card). Oh well!
Polecat5150 I am a child of the 80s and grew up with Star Wars toys, Transformers, Video games , etc.... The FIRST thing I did was open them. No not at home but in the car. How are some toys from that time sealed? Were there collector adults even then that didn't open them? It makes me wonder...
Back in 1977 and 1978, nobody knew this was going to spark a hobby, and therefore you have an excuse why most people didn't preserve all of their Star Wars action figures, card, clamshell (blister?) and all.
Wait a second. An ultra-limited edition Obi-Wan figure that originally retailed for $2000 can now sell for AS MUCH AS $2000 on the secondary market? If it's not selling for more that it retailed for originally, why bother mentioning it? Also, pulling list prices from eBay is an absurd way to gauge real value. Just because something is listed at a high price, doesn't mean anyone was crazy enough to actually pay it.
Wyldstaar Studio will you look at my video and see what you think about some of my new Star Wars . You seem knowledgeable and I am new to this all and I love it.
MobileGamingGod Im going to redo it and try to make it better plus I just bought some new ones . I’ll see if I can load it back up temporarily and I’m grateful that you actually took the time to look.
At the age of 40, I still have all of my 1st gen Star Wars action figs. Those figs have seen a lot of love, and are nowhere near mint condition. Some weapons are gone, paint jobs are flaked etc. But I HAVE them, in my curio cabinet, and that's what counts. I was always late in starting my collections of franchise toys. Man, I still remember that fateful day when I after what seemed like a lifetime of saving, came to the toy store with my dad to get my next little guy.... and found Star Wars wall cleared out and replaced with action figures from some other franchise, G.I. Joe I think it was. Almost the same size and style. I was devastated. My dad asked the staff about it, and the answer was that they were discontinued. After all, it was nearly 3 years since Jedi went down at the theaters. Dad asked if I didn't want one of the new action figures, but I had no idea what they were about so I ran out of the store with my unspent money. Man... being a kid in the developed world of the mid 80s was tuff... LOL.
@Mike O'Shea I decided to be a bit clever and bought an action figure when the 20th anniversary revival happened. I kept it very safe, never opened it, kept it out of the light. It now sells for exactly the same price that I paid for it, so I may as well have put the money in a jar for 25 years.
I had almost every Star Wars action figure , and toy and my mother gave it away to some kid when I was living in Florida. 20 years later and I am still not over it.
The mark up on those carded figures is mind-boggling! How something goes from a couple bucks in 1977 to tens of thousands of dollars in 2017 is just insane!
It’s actually sickening cuz I had some of those figures as a small child…. But what kid kept the action figures untouched or unopened ? That’s insanity. I had a released boba fett and had Jawa with vinyl. I remember the rocket shooting boba on back of card you could pre-order.
It wasn't just the extended tip lightsaber. What they are talking about is one where the extended tip was actually a different piece, and that was hidden inside the thicker part of the lightsaber. Besides just shoving it forward, you then had to grab the very tip and pull the rest (the skinny part) out.
@@xeokym223 Never seen that, I'd like to see a video of it... cause frankly I was told they had that stupid little tip in order to get over the choking hazard rules if the thing had only been 1-inch long with the inner part pushed in (it was detachable) then it would have been choking hazard.
My brother and I collected the 1st Edition Star Wars toys when they first came out back in the 70s, played with them until the arms fell off, lost half of them in the backyard, dog chewed others up, all of them lost many years ago. I had this 6" Boba Fett I got from the toy store, must have been for $5 if I remember, about ten years ago I was browsing thru a collectibles store and came across that exact same figure priced for several hundred dollars. If we had known then what we knew now... we'd still have played with the toys until the arms fell off, but we would've bought a second action figure and kept it stored in the boxes waiting for out retirement!
This is making me cry... I had 2 Vaders like the one listed and 3... 3!!! of the vinyl jawas.... I could have sent my kids to college, but... wait. They were toys. Why would someone leave them in the packaging?!? They're toys. Meant to be played with... screw my kids. I had an awesome childhood thanks to these toys and my imagination. Oh, Leia... you vixen you. Come to the dark side... uh, well that was before Return...
I think the vader the video shows is the wrong one. The super valuable one has a two part sword, but the image shown looked like the 1 part sword which was the common one everyone had
OOOOHHHH MY GOD!!!!! it is the most nostalgic smell in the world. It almost makes me cry when I smell opening like a classic episode 2 or power of the force figure because all of the childhood memories come flooding back!
I've never heard such a large amount of misinformation in one video! The prices are totally incorrect and insane and most of the story's are wrong too.Well done.
I agree, this dude has no idea what hes talking about. Like the Darth Vader with the lightsaber. He said 2,000$-18,000$. That's a huge gap. And also the missile launcher boba fett isnt worth 50k. I'm pretty sure it worth around 20k. Yes it's still alot but far from 50k. 1k$ is a huge jump when it comes to prices and buying things.
wow...I have jawa, darth and Yak face. Well, I HAD Yak face. IN THE PACKAGE. I couldnt get $500 for it. I sold it eventually for $375. It had a .79 price tag from KAY BEE toy store.
There is a picture of me at my birthday with all of my Star Wars toys I got. On the left side of the picture is a vinyl caped Jawa. I still remember trading it for one of my friend's Jawas because the cloth cape was so much cooler.
HA! In the toy cabint I my living room, I have my cylon raider that shoots the rockets that the kids were choking on, causing them to change boba fett. The damn thing still works too! had a kid choke he other day hahaha
I was 8 years old when the original Star Wars came out. I know for sure I had figures with the vinyl capes and double telescoping light sabres. I'll have to look through some pictures my folks took of that time and see if I can spot which ones I had. The main memory I have of that time is the magical feeling of opening the R2D2 figure for the first time and Lukes speeder (with the wheels).
No fucking shit. He's saying 'Europe' because otherwise, according to your somewhat obscene and illogical argument, he would have to lost out every country in Europe.
_"according to your somewhat obscene and illogical argument"_ Reading comprehension clearly isn't one of your strong points. Next you'll be accusing him of making death threats! Tard.
Is it Palatoy or Kenner? I have a loose Kenner, not worth as much I don't think. I remember as a child ripping my original out of the box and thinking what a shit toy. I like to think it was just a Kenner.
my first memory and favorite of star wars toys were when my grandma gave me my dad’s darth vader’s head box with a bunch of kenner action figures each in their own slots. i can even remember the smell of them. crazy nostalgic.
Of course, the thing is finding a collector willing to pay those prices. That's the first thing I was told when selling my collection: you will almost NEVER get what they're actually worth.
To all of you who had the Darth Vader figure. When the narrator here says "telescoping lightsaber, it doesn't just mean a light saber that pulls out of the arm, but also the skinny tip pulls out from the thicker part of the saber blade. THAT is the rare one.
+S.P. Moraitis Actually, I deleted my anecdote as it was more likely to be just the pull out one and not the double extender, and even if it was the double one I wouldn't want the heat of fantatical Star Wars collectors on me.
the thinner bit wasn't telescopic. it was extruded on the end of lightsaber that did extend. luke, Obi wan were all the same. I bit the end off mine as it looked rubbish. pants
There are 2 lightsaber types. The original one was double telescoping, It was 2 pieces of plastic, and the thinner piece could be move independently within the larger piece. The far more common version is the single telescoping. The thinner piece is glued/ molded together with the larger piece. This is the version you are alluding to- with the thin "tip" of plastic about 1cm long.
Just remember people the listing price on eBay doesn't dictate a items value, its just something set by the buyer. For correct information always refer to the actual sold price of comparable items (if they exist). Condition, packaging, rarity, how complete a item is, demand (can be seasonal) / popularity all is a factor for gauging a price.
sorry but Listing that Sideshow Obi-Wan Kenobi as a "toy" is a joke. It has absolutely no playability and is definitely not for kids (not that "Toys" are exclusive to children)
had a complete set of the vintage figures (with vinyl capes and extension lightsabers), including the 85 POTF line. alas, they went the way of so many kid's Action Comic #1's and Ken Griffey Jr rookie cards and now reside in a landfill hours after Mum did her spring cleaning.

my parents gave away all my starwars toys to my younger cousins one day while I was at school. These were toys I bought and paid for by doing work around the neighborhood. Those toys were destroyed by my low class cousins in a matter of days. From then on I kept my small collection of valuable items like coins and arrowheads hidden in various places where they could not find them. Such a shame because if I had those toys to sell as an adult, mother might have gone to a much nicer retirement facility.
I had two in the baggy that said Kenner on it. One my mom bought in Singapore at the Airport duty free ship for about 50 cents and the other was at a yard sale where a kid had gotten the cantina playset and didn't want that alien from his Christmas gift. I didn't know it was going to be so rare. But I didn't have a hard time finding him even after I'd lost my toys with moving as I got older.
ooohh, nice! I used to have Bossk in his weird vehicle, the CAP-2 (4 legs, 2 with suction cups... a cylindrical cockpit that fits Bossk) and then Snaggletooth locked in the back
So the sideshow obi-wan retailed for $2000 and now that it's out of print it only goes up to $2000 on second hand sellers. It seems like now it would be more.
Tony Stark Nope! That's the real unfortunate thing about ebay. Nothing is rare anymore. Because you can get anyTHING from anyWHERE in the world now. When I started collecting Star Wars toys I had to got to garage sales, swap meets, comic book stores, toy shows & conventions looking for stuff. If you couldn't find a particular item within a 100 mile radius of your home, it was considered "Rare". Values of all this stuff was skyrocketing in 1998. Then, ebay got popular. Now all the Star Wars stuff I bought, in the 90's, that was released in the 90's Is still not worth what I paid for it, in a retail store, 20 years ago! Because everyone is keeping their stuff in mint condition. There is too much out there! Also this video fails to point out that the "high value" toys they are showing are in acrylic cases & graded by the A.F.A. which increases the price by $100 to $1,000 just for that.
+Adam Haynes Tell me about it. I had that Darth Vader too. Pretty sure I also had the vinyl Jawa. Weird thing is I wasn't even that interested in Star Wars and was much more into He-Man. I think a relative got me them for Christmas or something.
Man! I had most of those figures as a kid in the 80s. Opened and played with. I had all the Star Wars, and Empire set with multiples of storm troopers etc. I had the vinyl cape jawa, and was disappointed that it wasnt the proper cloth one. I had well over 100 figures, playsets, spaceships and vehicles. I sold the lot for $500 in the mid 1990s. Wish Id kept them. But I have a lot of happy memories.
Unfortunately, I had 12 of the Boba Fett toys with the shooting missiles. But it's too late for me. What's too late? I also had 12 children, all dead! They all choked on the missiles. I've been in denial for far too long. Ever since I joined The Shooting Boba Fett Toy Killed My Children Group (or T.S.B.F.T.K.M.C.G., for short), they've helped me realize that Star Wars is not as important as my family. I miss you little Suzie and sweet Jake (who was born without a tongue). I know you all are somewhere with the force now. Up there, with Master Yoda. Please support our foundation. It helps people like me to cope with the REAL dangers that Sith toys and fake bounty hunters have on our children. BLESS YOU ALL!
+Save The Dogs And Animals Plz! Oh well, either way you shouldn't be calling people liars with your dumb inferences bye. I ownly replied because im in yhis comment thread and thought you were one of those cowards that comments below someones comment without tagging or addressing them the proper way. have a nice day
I'm just going to correct you here - the "two piece" telescoping light sabre on that Darth Vader was NOT for appearances, it was for safety. The part had to be a certain length to "assure" the safety ninnies that kids would not choke on it... and at the same time the thin, flexible tip was designed so nobody would go blind when they poke their friends in eye with it. Pretty much every kid would break that stupid tip off the light sabre because it was so lame looking. I have a couple of these... which I hang on purely for nostalgia. Here's the reality: in "played with" condition, these toys are ubiquitous and barely worth a couple bucks.
I have a definite memory of passing a store in the UK in Blackpool in the late 70's. it was probably 1978 and i was a kid. In the shop window I swear was a Jawa in vinyl cape. As my parents had taken me to visit the Dr Who exhibition in Blackpool they decided i'd been "treated enough" that day and didn't buy it for me. I'm convinced it's a real memory as I already had a cloth caped Jawa and this one was certainly different. Fortunately i pick the wrong lottery numbers ever week now too. So i came to terms with that day long ago. But occasionally i get reminded. Jawa vinyl cape. Damn.
I have a Jawa story somewhat similar to yours. In 1978 I was in a Lionel Playworld toy store (long out of business) and had two Jawas in my hands, the common cloth outfit Jawa and the valuable vinyl caped Jawa. I put the vinyl caped Jawa back on the shelf and went home with the common Jawa that I still have. Years later I bought a toy collecting magazine that said how valuable the vinyl caped Jawa is. I'm not upset about it now because I'm not in this for the money. I collect old toys because I love them. Who knows? Maybe someday the big head Han Solo figure will be worth a fortune.
I have the Darth Vader in decent condition, passed to me from my uncle a few years back. I’m researching it’s value but it seems it’ll be worth more in a few more years so I’ll hold onto it for now
Truly happy memories of playing with the Darth Vader, Boba Fett and every action figure. In a box they are useless, the memory of having played with them is eternally fulfilling and priceless.
I had that Darth Vader but, like all the Star Wars toys with vinyl cloaks, the cloak would split around the arm-hole in less than a day. This would render it almost worthless. I had three of the medical droids as a kid. I’m kicking myself that I ever took them out of the box
Im Rick Harrison and this is my Pawn Shop. I work here with my Oldman, and my son Big Hoss. One thing Ive Learned after 21 years is,you never know what is gonna come through that door.
Man I wish I still had the cape and gun for my Jawa. I have one of the early one's . It's the only one I have left but i remember opening it so many christmas's ago.
Yeah, but the point here is that those haven't sold at those prices, so the market hasn't dictated anything. I can list my used underwear on eBay for £1,000,000, but it isn't actually worth that much until someone is willing to pay that.
I have the un punched Boba Fett, the rocket firing Boba Fett, and the final cape Jawa, I have the LEGO falcon, and and a beat up darth, I would never sell these in my life though as I am a die hard Star Wars fan, I put this in the “Old toy bin” and have them in my attic. I never thought they could sell for that much!

No amount of money today could rival the joy I got out of opening and playing with my Star Wars toys back in the 70s-80s.
Same here. Born in 71 and was perfectly primed for these toys. Can’t stand the franchise now and it’s brainless creators and fans. I had the Vader with extendable saber, the Med Droid, and Boba Fett with the projectile missile.
@@jackbedient those which you had weren't probably the valuable ones.
the med droid (fx-7) is nothing special itself. i've got a couple of them. it was only that one special palitoy version mint on card which sold for so much money.
all vaders had extendable sabers. the really rare and valuable ones have double extendable sabres (you could extend them twice and they were really long).
and for the boba, you couldn't have had one with a removable projectile because they were never sold on the market.
you must have had one with a fixed projectile for sure.
maybe your memories trick you on this one.
Yeah my father was a big star wars collecter until recently he passed away and now I have a collection worth 100k
Where l stayed l never came across starwars toys but where l stayed we were lucky to have a Monopoly set.
Spoken like a true entitled and rich boomer
"Once listed on Ebay" is a pretty shady way to evaluate anything.
It less stress
It requires less research and makes it easier to make mediocre RUclips videos
yea but those jawas in the package legit go for like 75 grand all day he isnt wrong about that
If only I kept all my toys in the package, said no kid ever.
That's my hope. I have an unopened black series darth Vader #06. Fingers crossed
+Mitchell Brooks nice! hopefully it's worth a lot some day.
After the apocalypse it might be worth something.
But you'll only get paid in water or something.
lol this made my day good one
Al Bundy or mabye bottle caps
That Jawa action figure! Omg I remember in 1978 when I was a kid trying to find that Jawa action figure, going from store to store over a period of a few weeks with no luck. Finally I found it at a Simpson's store and was thrilled, so I made my parents buy it for me lol. It was rare back then and it's still rare now.
did you open it, i bet yes,....cool toy collector,...marius(punk rules).
The Jawa and R2 were near impossible to find. I couldn't believe it when my mother bought me two Jawas (cloth robes) saying "Well, there was more than one in the film, wasn't there?"
Just cause it is listed on EBay for that amount doesn't mean it worth that much. Tons of stuff on Ebay is over priced and probably never sells at the asking price.

Very true
boh7em he's just saying it potentially gets sold for that price
Type in kenner boba fett, and those rocket firing ones pop up everywhere for like $40.
That is why people go by sold/completed listings and check the feedback as confirmation. I often do this with a few things and keep a database over a few years to see if it's increasing in value
Not opening them at age 11, would never had crossed my mind.
There was no kid in the world back then that would get a toy action figure and not open it, it would've been the worst form of torture.
When I was a kid I saw a wire basket on a shelf in a Kmart full of figures kids tore out of the packages. Me and another kid were looking at them and he said, "Take one!" before I could say anything he grabbed a handful, shoved one in my hand and we both bolted out of there. I didn't look at it until I was safely in our car. It was a jawa and I thought, "What the Hell is this thing??" My first intro to Star Wars action figures.
Finish the fucking story!
not quite true. I begged my dad to by the action figures and leave them mint on card in storage when I was a teen. I didn't have the money to do it, and neither did my dad, who was unemployed at the time. He agreed with me though. Years later we kicked ourselves of course. I regret opening my vinyl caped jawa, my boba fett on Star Wars (not TESB card). Oh well!
Polecat5150 I am a child of the 80s and grew up with Star Wars toys, Transformers, Video games , etc.... The FIRST thing I did was open them. No not at home but in the car. How are some toys from that time sealed? Were there collector adults even then that didn't open them? It makes me wonder...
The most Logical comment i ever seen ever. Its just not possible.
Dammit!! What was I thinking opening the packages and actually playing with these figures back in 1978??
Same with me! Wanted to play with them and ripped off the blister just like nothing - LOOOL
Commodore Rook mine are from 1977 they were my dads when he was a boy and it has the year on the back of them all
@@louisekatherine1440 I think he meant 1977. Even if you bought them in 1978 they still say 1977 on them.
Back in 1977 and 1978, nobody knew this was going to spark a hobby, and therefore you have an excuse why most people didn't preserve all of their Star Wars action figures, card, clamshell (blister?) and all.
What about the early bird kit..Lol...imagine getting an extra 1 and keeping it in the box..
.
If i list a bag of chicken shit for 10k on ebay, its apparently worth 10k.
+jaws I'LL PAY 8k!!!
+Funk Enstein still in the chicken! I'd want it still in the shell.
is that a vinyl or cloth-caped chicken shit bag? vinyl so rare but cloth be like ja-ja cheep
If you sell it for 10k then it is.
I will make a rock 100000K
Wait a second. An ultra-limited edition Obi-Wan figure that originally retailed for $2000 can now sell for AS MUCH AS $2000 on the secondary market? If it's not selling for more that it retailed for originally, why bother mentioning it? Also, pulling list prices from eBay is an absurd way to gauge real value. Just because something is listed at a high price, doesn't mean anyone was crazy enough to actually pay it.
Wyldstaar Studio will you look at my video and see what you think about some of my new Star Wars . You seem knowledgeable and I am new to this all and I love it.
MobileGamingGod i took it down .
MobileGamingGod Im going to redo it and try to make it better plus I just bought some new ones . I’ll see if I can load it back up temporarily and I’m grateful that you actually took the time to look.
Oh n yeah "These ain't the prices you're looking for"
10000?? you could buy a whole ship for that..
BIGBADPOPPAJ But who' gonna fly it, kid- you?
Artstux you bet I could,im not such a bad pilot myself!
BIGBADPOPPAJ We'll pay you 2,000 now plus 15 when we reach Alderaan.
BIGBADPOPPAJ ha I got it
What a hunk of junk...
At the age of 40, I still have all of my 1st gen Star Wars action figs. Those figs have seen a lot of love, and are nowhere near mint condition. Some weapons are gone, paint jobs are flaked etc. But I HAVE them, in my curio cabinet, and that's what counts.
I was always late in starting my collections of franchise toys. Man, I still remember that fateful day when I after what seemed like a lifetime of saving, came to the toy store with my dad to get my next little guy.... and found Star Wars wall cleared out and replaced with action figures from some other franchise, G.I. Joe I think it was. Almost the same size and style.
I was devastated. My dad asked the staff about it, and the answer was that they were discontinued. After all, it was nearly 3 years since Jedi went down at the theaters. Dad asked if I didn't want one of the new action figures, but I had no idea what they were about so I ran out of the store with my unspent money.
Man... being a kid in the developed world of the mid 80s was tuff... LOL.
Thats right!
Im 13 and have accumulated many og sw figures and vehicles and am proud to own them
@Mike O'Shea I decided to be a bit clever and bought an action figure when the 20th anniversary revival happened. I kept it very safe, never opened it, kept it out of the light. It now sells for exactly the same price that I paid for it, so I may as well have put the money in a jar for 25 years.
I had almost every Star Wars action figure , and toy and my mother gave it away to some kid when I was living in Florida. 20 years later and I am still not over it.
I hear you bro.
painful to watch as i had many of these
Doubt it
+UncommonSituations doubt what??
Same. Had way more than shown here. Still have em in the backyard. Probably in pieces.
Same,
I have many of these figueres and my sons play with them regureraly.
The mark up on those carded figures is mind-boggling! How something goes from a couple bucks in 1977 to tens of thousands of dollars in 2017 is just insane!
It’s actually sickening cuz I had some of those figures as a small child…. But what kid kept the action figures untouched or unopened ? That’s insanity.
I had a released boba fett and had Jawa with vinyl. I remember the rocket shooting boba on back of card you could pre-order.
Had the Vader with extended light sabre, cut the tip off cause I thought it was stupid
It wasn't just the extended tip lightsaber. What they are talking about is one where the extended tip was actually a different piece, and that was hidden inside the thicker part of the lightsaber. Besides just shoving it forward, you then had to grab the very tip and pull the rest (the skinny part) out.
@@xeokym223 Never seen that, I'd like to see a video of it... cause frankly I was told they had that stupid little tip in order to get over the choking hazard rules if the thing had only been 1-inch long with the inner part pushed in (it was detachable) then it would have been choking hazard.
@@gdeangelkick ruclips.net/video/TJAdzAf7xjU/видео.html
I used my mark II teeth myself.
Not
My brother and I collected the 1st Edition Star Wars toys when they first came out back in the 70s, played with them until the arms fell off, lost half of them in the backyard, dog chewed others up, all of them lost many years ago. I had this 6" Boba Fett I got from the toy store, must have been for $5 if I remember, about ten years ago I was browsing thru a collectibles store and came across that exact same figure priced for several hundred dollars. If we had known then what we knew now... we'd still have played with the toys until the arms fell off, but we would've bought a second action figure and kept it stored in the boxes waiting for out retirement!
This is making me cry... I had 2 Vaders like the one listed and 3... 3!!! of the vinyl jawas.... I could have sent my kids to college, but... wait. They were toys. Why would someone leave them in the packaging?!? They're toys. Meant to be played with... screw my kids. I had an awesome childhood thanks to these toys and my imagination.
Oh, Leia... you vixen you. Come to the dark side... uh, well that was before Return...
If only you had bought shares in Apple Computer Inc at the same time.
Life is full of 'what if's'....
I think the vader the video shows is the wrong one. The super valuable one has a two part sword, but the image shown looked like the 1 part sword which was the common one everyone had
I got the same toys toys tell these day
Remembering that new-toy smell! Ahhhh, good times.
OOOOHHHH MY GOD!!!!! it is the most nostalgic smell in the world. It almost makes me cry when I smell opening like a classic episode 2 or power of the force figure because all of the childhood memories come flooding back!
Smelles like glory. But now we know is toxic 💔
Poorly researched.
Agreed....where is the blue snaggletooth? Luke Skywalker with telescoping.....
Yes this guy is an absolute idiot
That was no medical droid
I've never heard such a large amount of misinformation in one video! The prices are totally incorrect and insane and most of the story's are wrong too.Well done.
Prove it
Watch a David icke clip
You're just mad because you don't own any vintage star wars figures
I agree, this dude has no idea what hes talking about. Like the Darth Vader with the lightsaber. He said 2,000$-18,000$. That's a huge gap. And also the missile launcher boba fett isnt worth 50k. I'm pretty sure it worth around 20k. Yes it's still alot but far from 50k. 1k$ is a huge jump when it comes to prices and buying things.
what?
wow...I have jawa, darth and Yak face. Well, I HAD Yak face. IN THE PACKAGE. I couldnt get $500 for it. I sold it eventually for $375. It had a .79 price tag from KAY BEE toy store.
There is a picture of me at my birthday with all of my Star Wars toys I got. On the left side of the picture is a vinyl caped Jawa. I still remember trading it for one of my friend's Jawas because the cloth cape was so much cooler.
depalma13 I agree. Nobody wanted the vinyl caped Jawa. If I remember correctly I had obi wan and Vader with vinyl capes also. Hated the vinyl.
Man, I had three out of ten and sold them at garage sales. FML.
+Jim Carter I had the Jawa with vinyl cape and it got thrown away.
+LepricahnsGold Nooooo (In Vader's voice)
You fools
You and half the world! Mate, it's the way it is.
+Jim Carter lol i still have the vader and medic droid
HA! In the toy cabint I my living room, I have my cylon raider that shoots the rockets that the kids were choking on, causing them to change boba fett. The damn thing still works too! had a kid choke he other day hahaha
I was 5 when my mother bought me a yak face. Unfortunately I chewed it and now it's got NO face. FML
+nikovich I still have a Yak Face - power of the force version, carded, with weapon. I paid a fortune for it back in '98 - $600 AUD...
I have a loose one w/weapon. Paid $100 in 1997. No way it's worth $2300
Mash face
Yeah i saw someone on youtube bought a yak face for 330$ is worth more like 400$ 2300$ maybe new in box !!!
I was 8 years old when the original Star Wars came out. I know for sure I had figures with the vinyl capes and double telescoping light sabres. I'll have to look through some pictures my folks took of that time and see if I can spot which ones I had. The main memory I have of that time is the magical feeling of opening the R2D2 figure for the first time and Lukes speeder (with the wheels).
Yes, Luke's speeder with the soft, bouncy suspension.
can i please just say that europe is a continent not a country
No fucking shit. He's saying 'Europe' because otherwise, according to your somewhat obscene and illogical argument, he would have to lost out every country in Europe.
_"according to your somewhat obscene and illogical argument"_
Reading comprehension clearly isn't one of your strong points. Next you'll be accusing him of making death threats!
Tard.
The most I can pay for all ten, is 100 bucks and I'm taking a huge risk here
The heal droid was also big in star wars battle front 2.
Yes lmao
I have the star wars battlefront 2 action figure bundle. it has all clone class characters.
AirSwift whatt
Ironic, he could save others from death, but not himself.
roddy 😂
I'm pretty sure I had the double telescoping lightsabre figures. And vinyl Cape jawa!
I HAVE A MEDICAL DROID BUT IT'S NOT IN ITS PACKAGE
That's unlucky.
Hhhhhhhhhhhhe
You can buy one for a few hundred dollars.
And yak face.
Where the hell did these prices come from?
Is it Palatoy or Kenner? I have a loose Kenner, not worth as much I don't think. I remember as a child ripping my original out of the box and thinking what a shit toy. I like to think it was just a Kenner.
same I have most of the figures on here
my first memory and favorite of star wars toys were when my grandma gave me my dad’s darth vader’s head box with a bunch of kenner action figures each in their own slots. i can even remember the smell of them. crazy nostalgic.
*goes and checks all of my old toys* "Yep it's all completely worthless. Yep."
Of course, the thing is finding a collector willing to pay those prices. That's the first thing I was told when selling my collection: you will almost NEVER get what they're actually worth.
To all of you who had the Darth Vader figure. When the narrator here says "telescoping lightsaber, it doesn't just mean a light saber that pulls out of the arm, but also the skinny tip pulls out from the thicker part of the saber blade. THAT is the rare one.
+S.P. Moraitis
Actually, I deleted my anecdote as it was more likely to be just the pull out one and not the double extender, and even if it was the double one I wouldn't want the heat of fantatical Star Wars collectors on me.
the thinner bit wasn't telescopic. it was extruded on the end of lightsaber that did extend. luke, Obi wan were all the same. I bit the end off mine as it looked rubbish. pants
There are 2 lightsaber types. The original one was double telescoping, It was 2 pieces of plastic, and the thinner piece could be move independently within the larger piece.
The far more common version is the single telescoping. The thinner piece is glued/ molded together with the larger piece. This is the version you are alluding to- with the thin "tip" of plastic about 1cm long.
I have the one you are talking about just not in original box but in excellent condition
I seriously remember seeing all of those at the bottom of my toybox as a kid.
I am insulted - he called Jawas a character that was never anyone's favorite!!!!!!
utinni!
We have a packaged Kenner Jawa figure and an un-packaged version in our movie/Lego room. I didn't know It was that expensive!
Two thousand dollars!? For that Obi Wan figure?!
Two thousand U. S. dollars!?
That's all?!
Shit! Give me a bakers dozen!
bradlbe that is the world of collecting
Why the shit did I not keep those figures in the box as a kid and stored them.
I had a Boba Fett figure if I could go back in time
bradlbe I'm fine with half of one
bradlbe its 3 ft tall idiot 😂
Just remember people the listing price on eBay doesn't dictate a items value, its just something set by the buyer. For correct information always refer to the actual sold price of comparable items (if they exist). Condition, packaging, rarity, how complete a item is, demand (can be seasonal) / popularity all is a factor for gauging a price.
sorry but Listing that Sideshow Obi-Wan Kenobi as a "toy" is a joke. It has absolutely no playability and is definitely not for kids (not that "Toys" are exclusive to children)
Stiffkittens I know a 24 year old who still plays with figures. No it's not me...What? Stop looking at me like that!
Darth Malgus damn son
Hell, I'm 56 and I play with Batman figures. Not even old ones, but the newer movies stuff. I live alone.
Also every boat, jetski, hotrod, etc is considered a toy and a lot of times NOT for children, so....
@@darthmalgus3043 Your comment reminds me of Dark Helmet playing with figures in "Spaceballs'.
had a complete set of the vintage figures (with vinyl capes and extension lightsabers), including the 85 POTF line. alas, they went the way of so many kid's Action Comic #1's and Ken Griffey Jr rookie cards and now reside in a landfill hours after Mum did her spring cleaning.
I got that Kenner Darth Vader for 15 dollars at c2e2

Me playing with all my Star Wars toys when I was a kid in the ‘80s?.....

my parents gave away all my starwars toys to my younger cousins one day while I was at school. These were toys I bought and paid for by doing work around the neighborhood. Those toys were destroyed by my low class cousins in a matter of days. From then on I kept my small collection of valuable items like coins and arrowheads hidden in various places where they could not find them. Such a shame because if I had those toys to sell as an adult, mother might have gone to a much nicer retirement facility.
I’m positive I had that vinyl Jawa once
Wow another awesome video of star wars figures collection reviews are amazing 1000 % awesome video
UPDATE: Thanks to Disney, Star Wars merchandising has dipped to an all time low...
the memories we all have from actually playing with our toys is better
I had so many StarWars toys when I was a kid that this video made me sick!🤣
I had tons of those Jawas in my hand at stores when i was a kid. I wish i bought 3. I could buy a house now.
Any kid who's toys were mint, deserves to be sad and lonely.
...and rich...
I had a rocket firing Boba Fett, a vinyl Cape Jawa, and a medical droid in my collection as a kid. RIP. That would buy me a house now.
I would have thought a mint condition Emperor would be worth a lot since you had to order it after collecting box tops from cereal boxes.
I had the kenna jawa with cloth cape. The backing card was Star Wars and the writing Japanese. Love to know how much it would be worth today.
Where in the list does "Tall, blue, booted Snaggletooth" fall? And how much is _he_ worth? Not that I have one.
I sold mine for $300 a couple years ago.
California (a buyer came to my house)
Well, my uncle owns the entire set of those old figurines, plus the elusive vinyl Jawa, still sealed...
Wheres Blue Snaggletooth
+ladybeava Yes, good point
I had two in the baggy that said Kenner on it. One my mom bought in Singapore at the Airport duty free ship for about 50 cents and the other was at a yard sale where a kid had gotten the cantina playset and didn't want that alien from his Christmas gift. I didn't know it was going to be so rare. But I didn't have a hard time finding him even after I'd lost my toys with moving as I got older.
ooohh, nice! I used to have Bossk in his weird vehicle, the CAP-2 (4 legs, 2 with suction cups... a cylindrical cockpit that fits Bossk) and then Snaggletooth locked in the back
@@joeridestrijcker445 I remember that one it was pretty cool.
So the sideshow obi-wan retailed for $2000 and now that it's out of print it only goes up to $2000 on second hand sellers. It seems like now it would be more.
+Tony Stark I thought the exact same thing. It may be expensive but it's not worth any more than it's retail value.
Tony Stark
Nope!
That's the real unfortunate thing about ebay. Nothing is rare anymore. Because you can get anyTHING from anyWHERE in the world now. When I started collecting Star Wars toys I had to got to garage sales, swap meets, comic book stores, toy shows & conventions looking for stuff. If you couldn't find a particular item within a 100 mile radius of your home, it was considered "Rare". Values of all this stuff was skyrocketing in 1998. Then, ebay got popular. Now all the Star Wars stuff I bought, in the 90's, that was released in the 90's
Is still not worth what I paid for it, in a retail store, 20 years ago! Because everyone is keeping their stuff in mint condition. There is too much out there!
Also this video fails to point out that the "high value" toys they are showing are in acrylic cases & graded by the A.F.A. which increases the price by $100 to $1,000 just for that.
My original loose Vader and FX-7 are in the hands of my nephew these days. Now I want 17 grand from my sister.
I had the Vader with extendable saber 2k-18k fml
+Adam Haynes Tell me about it. I had that Darth Vader too. Pretty sure I also had the vinyl Jawa.
Weird thing is I wasn't even that interested in Star Wars and was much more into He-Man. I think a relative got me them for Christmas or something.
I did to when my mom bought it at a garage sale, but it didn't have the cape. Thinking about it, none of my friends' Vaders of that kind had the cape.
Adam Haynes they arnt worth neary that much. $25 most unless you had an exclusive figure
I remember the rocket firing boba fette when I was a kid. It was the holy grail of figures even back then!
I could earn a lot of money... but I feel a bit sentimental for my toys...
I still have all of the originals in great shape in that big box set. They all have that slim light saber. I still enjoy them!
"Listed". We want hard evidence of its selling price. What did it sell for?
Man! I had most of those figures as a kid in the 80s. Opened and played with.
I had all the Star Wars, and Empire set with multiples of storm troopers etc. I had the vinyl cape jawa, and was disappointed that it wasnt the proper cloth one.
I had well over 100 figures, playsets, spaceships and vehicles.
I sold the lot for $500 in the mid 1990s.
Wish Id kept them.
But I have a lot of happy memories.
Unfortunately, I had 12 of the Boba Fett toys with the shooting missiles. But it's too late for me. What's too late? I also had 12 children, all dead! They all choked on the missiles. I've been in denial for far too long. Ever since I joined The Shooting Boba Fett Toy Killed My Children Group (or T.S.B.F.T.K.M.C.G., for short), they've helped me realize that Star Wars is not as important as my family. I miss you little Suzie and sweet Jake (who was born without a tongue). I know you all are somewhere with the force now. Up there, with Master Yoda.
Please support our foundation. It helps people like me to cope with the REAL dangers that Sith toys and fake bounty hunters have on our children. BLESS YOU ALL!
Is your cat dead too?
Your children died because just like Boba they didn't know how to use the missle pack...
John Harrison 🙊😂
HAAAA HAAAA HAA ! I almost fell for it !
i thought it was mistletoe?
1:42 i lost that xD
I also have the medical droid but its not in its package D;
I have a collectors shop about 10 minutes away and They sell The old Star Wars toys I mean the double ejecters for two or three bucks
Buy em and I'll give you $10 for every one. Make you some easy money. Unless they dont...
I got a lot of Star Wars toys yet, but we're played with when I was younger. Keep them all, if only I knew
these prices are way off
I loved the stormtrooper toy in this era. I recall my friends had the ewoks.
I got the same Darth Vader figure at a vintage toy store for $20!
Bruh that's nice
+gaijin1979 I got the Jawa for about that price 14yrs ago
sure
+Bodhisattva47 Arhat are u gaijin? no right yeah so step off
+Save The Dogs And Animals Plz! Oh well, either way you shouldn't be calling people liars with your dumb inferences bye. I ownly replied because im in yhis comment thread and thought you were one of those cowards that comments below someones comment without tagging or addressing them the proper way. have a nice day
I'm just going to correct you here - the "two piece" telescoping light sabre on that Darth Vader was NOT for appearances, it was for safety. The part had to be a certain length to "assure" the safety ninnies that kids would not choke on it... and at the same time the thin, flexible tip was designed so nobody would go blind when they poke their friends in eye with it. Pretty much every kid would break that stupid tip off the light sabre because it was so lame looking.
I have a couple of these... which I hang on purely for nostalgia. Here's the reality: in "played with" condition, these toys are ubiquitous and barely worth a couple bucks.
I have a definite memory of passing a store in the UK in Blackpool in the late 70's. it was probably 1978 and i was a kid. In the shop window I swear was a Jawa in vinyl cape. As my parents had taken me to visit the Dr Who exhibition in Blackpool they decided i'd been "treated enough" that day and didn't buy it for me.
I'm convinced it's a real memory as I already had a cloth caped Jawa and this one was certainly different.
Fortunately i pick the wrong lottery numbers ever week now too. So i came to terms with that day long ago. But occasionally i get reminded. Jawa vinyl cape. Damn.
I have a Jawa story somewhat similar to yours. In 1978 I was in a Lionel Playworld toy store (long out of business) and had two Jawas in my hands, the common cloth outfit Jawa and the valuable vinyl caped Jawa. I put the vinyl caped Jawa back on the shelf and went home with the common Jawa that I still have. Years later I bought a toy collecting magazine that said how valuable the vinyl caped Jawa is. I'm not upset about it now because I'm not in this for the money. I collect old toys because I love them. Who knows? Maybe someday the big head Han Solo figure will be worth a fortune.
Mark Dooley batesons by any chance?
I have the Darth Vader in decent condition, passed to me from my uncle a few years back. I’m researching it’s value but it seems it’ll be worth more in a few more years so I’ll hold onto it for now
Truly happy memories of playing with the Darth Vader, Boba Fett and every action figure. In a box they are useless, the memory of having played with them is eternally fulfilling and priceless.
then disney came along and killed the whole thing and made it worthless.....thanks mickey!
Boba Fett... Where!?
Wow I have one of those Vaders on card and one loose. Also the Jawas. Who knew.
craziness
I had that Darth Vader but, like all the Star Wars toys with vinyl cloaks, the cloak would split around the arm-hole in less than a day. This would render it almost worthless. I had three of the medical droids as a kid. I’m kicking myself that I ever took them out of the box
Im Rick Harrison and this is my Pawn Shop. I work here with my Oldman, and my son Big Hoss. One thing Ive Learned after 21 years is,you never know what is gonna come through that door.
I own 2 of these, Darth Vader is rated from 2k Dollars up to 18k Dollars while the Jawa figure rated from 10k Dollars up to 53k Dollars???? WOW!!!!
vlix £67.58 on ebay
Fake, there are so many of them about
Man I wish I still had the cape and gun for my Jawa. I have one of the early one's . It's the only one I have left but i remember opening it so many christmas's ago.
WHERE IS PHANTOM MENACE ANAKIN OPENED
You couldn' t sell that as a dog toy
XD
King Pavel
$20000000000000000
King Pavel in padawan robes!
Also had fix7, and the vinyl cape Jawa, the cape us buried somewhere in the back yard of my childhood home. Who cared back then
Listed price doesn't mean the price it sold at does it??? How valid are these numbers?
+craig tibbits I was thinking exactly the same thing...
+MarkNUK a collectible is only worth what someone will pay for it so the market totally dictates what you can get for items
Yeah, but the point here is that those haven't sold at those prices, so the market hasn't dictated anything. I can list my used underwear on eBay for £1,000,000, but it isn't actually worth that much until someone is willing to pay that.
+MarkNUK couldnt have put it better myself.
That boba fett with the launching rocket is worth the most.
I had three of these figures as a child. Threw them away.
Jeez, I may not remember yesterday, but I can still remember all these toys names.
Their is this shop here in Austin that sells the old 70s star wars figures in singles for 6$
I have the un punched Boba Fett, the rocket firing Boba Fett, and the final cape Jawa, I have the LEGO falcon, and and a beat up darth, I would never sell these in my life though as I am a die hard Star Wars fan, I put this in the “Old toy bin” and have them in my attic. I never thought they could sell for that much!
Boba Fett Prototype: You'll shoot your eye out kid.
I have my double telescoping figures, but the thin bendy tips all broke off back in the day, so does that mean they are worth $1200.00?
Someone brought in a rocket firing Boba Fett on Pawn Stars. The expert said it was worth $100,000!
