I love your videos. But I want to know how you got that wall display in the background? I love it and want one.
That blue harvest guy sounds cool 😆 great video as always 👍🏻
Thank you sir! Everyone please check out Blue Harvest Toys channel. He’s my go-to Jedi master of toy collecting!
That was a steal on EV and Gunner.
I def lucked out on those, even though they were still expensive! Ouch. Thank you for watching my friend!
I never had the white robe Leia as a kid. The only Leia I had was the Cloud City one back then. I found an incomplete white robe Leia in a Face Book Star Wars group about five years ago for $10. I was glad to find her.
I think the most I've ever spent on a loose figure was a solid dome R2D2 with a really nice sticker and paint for $20. The seller, also in an FB group, was kind enough to include the card that he came on too. No bubble, but the 1977 card, with its black back and advert for the action stand was well worth the cost.
I love the Jawa but the vinyl cape version isn't one that I want. I actually prefer the cloth cape version.
You did well on your purchase. That's a slick looking case display too.
Thanks John! I really wish I had begun my collecting journey seriously about 20 years ago. I find it challenging to stay on budget but keep going. It’s still fun and I’m broadening my search to include conventions and in person deals. But man, some figures are expensive. I’m glad you were able to pick up some of your figures at reasonable prices. Thanks for watching and being a part of the journey!
Top notch vid as always! A wonderful find! Congratulations and it’s always nerve wracking opening that box up each and every time.. all part of the fun!
It honestly sucked the air out of my lungs when I saw that. I've gotten pew pews in bigger boxes lol. Thanks for watching Soda, and for being on the journey with me!
Your channel is certainly now among my new favorites!
Thanks Richard!!! That means a lot to me!
EV-9D9 is one of the nicest looking figures in the line. Plenty of Yak Faces going cheap in 1985 in Australia as well. Going for under $2.00 when they were on clearance. Those figures you purchased were great, very good quality.
Very fortunate to start completing my vintage figure collection in 1990.
Wow! 1985 would have been a great time to hoard those POTF figures! Haha, can we go back in time? Thanks for watching Bossk!
This guy is my Hero.
Hey Leon! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😎
Awesome video MR Padawan!! Love the production and the passion!! SRx
Thank you Mr. Salacious Rum, I’m a big fan of your channel so that means a lot to me! MTFBWY!
Another great video. Glad to be a part of the journey. Can’t wait to see what you get next
Thanks William! I’m having fun :). Thank you for being a part of the journey!
Wow! What a great couple of figures! Fun episode to watch.
Thanks for checking out the episode and taking the time to comment Bill!
Just started my collection and this helped me eliminate the desire for the 1985 force videos! 😊
Thanks for watching Justin! Hey however you want to collect, YOU decide what you want included!
great additions. wow! absolutely amazing. thanx for sharing all this. love the video.
Thank you @Super Awesome Geek Show! I love your channel btw :). Thanks for being a part of the journey. MTFBWY
Thanks John and thanks for being a BIG part of my journey and being a friend! MTFBWY!
Congratulations!! Those are 2 big ones off the list. Always love to see a good guy get a deal. Cheers!
Thank you Zarnista! I was definitely shocked to get that price offer. It still is A LOT of money, but glad it wasnt more. Thanks for being a part of the journey!
Congrats!!! You’ve taken your first step into a larger world. Solid deal on those 2 figures for sure.
Thank you Jedi Master Brent :). Thanks for being on the journey!
I've still got all my Star Wars figures, but none of them are near-mint because we played with them an awful lot. I'm really going to have to get a display like the one you have behind you, and which I'm intensely jealous of. 😁 What I'd really like to get my hands on are some of the legendary bootleg figures like the Uzay Blue Stars....you get one of those in your display case and people will be begging to know where you got it. And you can just casually say, "This one? Oh, it's a knockoff. Came from overseas. Yeah, cost me a thousand but it was worth it." And then you can just watch them stare at this blue Snowtrooper they never knew existed.
Hey GS! The blue stars is one of my favorite bootlegs and I would love to get one! Someday! Thanks for watching my friend
Wow shipping box could of been a lot better. Plus Always put figures separate and their accessories separately. Takes away the risk of scratching them in shipping. Either way congrats bro on the figures
Right??? That made my heart stop when I opened the box. I was recording the raw audio of my box opening but I was so shocked my voice sounded too nervous lol. I was honest mad and the f bombs were flying too much lol. Thanks for watching and alway good to read your comments
That's an eye watering top ten - some serious money for 'dolls' as my partner calls all my toy hobbies. Plus Joey you got a cracking deal on the Gunner & droid, well done...the Gunner is my favourite too...oh and have a subscription from me as stupidly, I wondered why I wasn't getting notifications 'what a dumb-ass! 👍🇬🇧
Welcome to the Academy!! Haha. Yea it was as insane deal, but still a lot of money for two figures. Happy new year Martin and thank you for watching my friend!!!
Great video! Another factor that can increase those loose figure prices is if they were graded loose and carried an impressive grade of say 80, 85….this can command an even higher amount with some even doubling in price from what you mentioned!
I just did some research on what the market prices go for after the grading so you are spot on!!! I’m glad I’m going to do a grading run as well. But boy it’s gonna get pricey lol. Thanks for watching Jon! MTFBWY
A few Yak Faces were sold on Trilogo cards at KB Toys in the US, not many though! Great Last 17 pick ups!
Yea someone I knew who lived in buffalo said his local drug store carried yak face and that’s where he bought his. Wish they would have made their way to more second hand drug stores in California cuz that’s where I used to buy my figures when I was a kid! Thanks for watching Blacked Out, and I hope all is well!
Nice Buy!
Better to buy now rather than later!
Best
Now I need to get deals on the rest of them! Alway good to see your comments Eugene :). MTFBWY!
I've been working my way through your collecting journey so far and I have to say, I am loving your vids man! Your energy and passion is infectious and the production value is next level! 👌
I completely agree in relation to the Imperial Gunner, I think he's my favourite in the line... next to the humble Snowtrooper (my childhood favourite which has becone a little bit of an obsession) 🙌 Speaking of which... it looks like the skirt on your Snowtrooper is up the wrong way!? It should be hanging below the waist! 👍
Keep up the amazing work! 🙌
I agree with BOTH of your figure selections! I would do figure focuses on BOTH! Well AND Ahsoka :). Yea I bought that figure about 20 years ago and have never fixed it. I know its wrong and I tried to fix it, but its really jammed around the arms and I didnt want to rip. I may get a replacement for it, and I do have a gradable version in a kenner baggie that Im going to send off soon. Thanks for watching Smuggler and MTFBWY!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial Ah man, yeah if it's been put through the arms you'll struggle to resolve it without damaging the skirt... probably best to leave it (plus it makes for a talking point!) 🙌
The potf stormtrooper luke and han in carbonite were some of the hardest to find in Northern Ohio in 84 just like the storm shadow.
Hey Kurt! I would have loved to get these back then 🙌🏼. Thanks for watching my friend
Yeah man!!! Great deal on those two!!! Home run!!!!
Thank you John!!! I was super stoked to get these in my case! Thanks for watching and being a part of the journey :). MTFBWY
I’m new to your channel and this will be my first comment. I love your music. Great job. I’m not sure who wrote it and performed it, but that has to be one of the best themes for a RUclips channel. Well done Padawan. Well done. 🙏
Thanks gnayrl!!! It took me a while to find the perfect track for my theme :). Thanks for watching the channel and welcome to the journey!!!
Great video. Awesome list. Excellent buy on those 2 figures. Outstanding job...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Subbed and notified...🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼

Great vid - thanks! New to the channel & just sub'd. Looking forward to watching all of your Collection videos.
Thanks daschy! I’m honored that you have joined the journey! MTFBWY
Awesome deal Joey Iam happy for you
Thank you Andrew! Always good to see you in the chat :). MTFBWY my friend!
Congrats om an awesome deal!
Thanks Edstrom! I hope I can find more amazing deals like that and am going on a wild hunt soon to hopefully find deals at estate sales, flea markets, and garage sales. Also traveling to different toy shops and that’s coming up soon :). Thanks for being part of the journey my friend!
So your list has gotten my curious what I paid back in the day when I actively collecting the Kenner Vintage line. To be fair I was doing this in the late 90s and early 2000s. Looking at my spreadsheet (a file I haven't opened in nearly 10 years), the only figure I paid more than $100 for was Blue Snaggletooth. Little bit lower quality than any figures other than my originals, the toes have some paint wear. Luke Stromtrooper and Yak Face I felt were pretty at the time. I would have paid about $30 to $45 less on the Luke Stromtrooper had I not gotten into a biding war with a guy who's user name was lukestromtrooper. He begged me to retracted my bids and then begged me to sell him the figure. Yak Face was my first overseas purchase (came from the UK) and the first item I used PayPal on. Good memories.
Hey Sam! Those are some great memories to share 🙌🏼. Seems like you got most of your collection at great prices! Thanks for taking the time to write and to watch the video
@@thepadawancollectorofficial So here's the thing, comparing prices from 25 years to present isn't a fair comparison. For the time I got average prices. Some were reasonable deals for the time. Some were I over paid for. For Bespin Han I paid 60% above what I should have.
It would be like comparing original retail price to today's price. Did I get a good deal on a carded Leia Boushh I paid $2.99 in 1984? Sounds amazing today given that you can't buy anything but a incomplete beater figure for that little. But for the time it was likely the average price of figure in my home town. So it was an average deal at best. Were the final figure I bought as kid, Admiral Ackbar and Klaatu, for 2 for $1 at Kay Bee's in 1988 a good deal? Again sounds amazing, but for the time it was likely the average.
Dude! What an awesome deal! Soooooo jealous. I only need six of the last 17 but in Australia they are very hard to get and paying US prices almost doubles their cost. They look great in your display! Good on you. MTFBWY.
That makes me so sad that the prices make collecting In Australia that much harder! And with the shipping prices I am hearing about over there it really makes me mad! But thank you for being a part of the journey, it’s always good to see a comment from you Eduardo :). MTFBWY
Major score on those figs! ...not jealous at all!
Haha thanks General! It was still a lot at 350 for 2 figs, but it could have been a lot more :). Thanks for watching its it’s always great to see your comments. MTFBWY
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I think you did great, both look in awesome condition
Great job! Glad to now call you friend
Thanks Mike, it was REALLY awesome to hang out with all you guys on your show! I cant wait to hang out with you all in person, talk toys, talk life and just hang out. Thank you for checking out the channel and videos, my friend!
John Denver in Stormtrooper armor! Now I’ll never be able to unsee it 🤣
Hahaha right???? When I saw the figure up close at a shop that’s the first thing I thought! Don’t ask me why I made that association??? I just remember John from one of the muppets episode so I can’t forget that face lol. Thanks for watching and I LOVE your channel :)
Great video. I have a 1977 Princess Leia in excellent condition, and all the last 17 figures, all in excellent condition and complete. Luke Stormtrooper has a bit of yellowing though unfortunately. But, that's the way I bought him initially. The best of luck collecting to you.
Ahhhhh you have all of them!?!?!?!? When did you buy? Thats so AWESOME! I have a ways to go, but we WILL get there. I'm having a TON of fun though, and the collecting community (YOU included) has made this journey worth it :). Thanks for watching Wolves, MTFBWY!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial Hi, I started collecting back in the late '90s and early 2000s. I bought some of them in vintage toy shops in Dublin and at toy fairs as well. I meant to say greetings from Ireland!
@@WolvesInferno I wish I was collecting back then. I used to go into shops back then, but I was in university and didnt make much money, so it was mostly window shopping, and the figures I did buy back then were incomplete, as I didnt know what the full figures came with. There wasnt a lot of access to that information back then, nor was I a part of any collecting groups. And I wish I collected back then because I would have loved to pick up the last 17 at prices that you can get a chewbacca for lol today. Glad you have been collecting for so long and can show me some of the ropes! And thanks for watching from Ireland! I hope I can make it back there one day :). Thanks Wolves, MTFBWY!
Assuming you only mention the Kenner figures, you still ought to mention the red bar R5, at nr 2 I think. Super nice score btw 👌🏼👌🏼
Thank you my friend! Yes that’s a super expensive one!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial For one little painted bar! Just like Blue Snag with no dent, you got to have them but so little difference for so much money..
Big Yikes on that packaging! But glad it worked out & you got a great deal. Awesome stuff.
My heart sank when I realized it was for those figures!!! Thanks for watching Mopar! MTFBWY
Hmm, I never knew EV-9D9 was female, but I see that now. Great price on those two figures, especially the Death Star Gunner, I'm a little envious
I say it both ways in the video to throw some people off lol. I seriously thought I was gonna open the box and find a repro stamp on one of the legs or something lol. Thanks for being a part of the journey JAK! Love your channel! MTFBWY
Well I'm jealous. Congratulations oh, that is a score.
Thanks DMR! I was SO stoked to get these at that price? Which last 17 should I get next 🤔. Always cool to see you in the comments bro. Thanks for being a part of the journey since the beginning. MTFBWY
a few weeks ago I saw and bought a vinyl cape jawa on a local selling website from an old couple. they sold all first 12 (including VC Jawa) + cantina creatures + pilot luke for aprox. 600USD. I mean... the others are overprized but that jawa tho. never thought that I would ever own one 😁 (not yet graded but i checked everything. seems genuine so far)
OMG!!!!!!!! Im excited for you and am friggn jealous at the same time!!!! HAHAHAHA! I am planning an estate sale sweep soon and a flea market sweep soon. If I even find a star wars pillow I'll be stoked, lol. Great finds my friend, and thanks for being a part of the journey!
I'm shocked you're after the POTF 85 collection. This is an area that I wouldn't even bother with. Maybe when I'm done with my afa loose 77-83 collection first.
I think I’m after it because I remember seeing those in the store and I believe I got my Luke Skywalker from that line. But I don’t remember the coins so I can’t be sure. But I love those figures so I have to get that entire line! Those Kenner figures are so historical!
Great channel! New sub here. 🍻
THANK YOU! I LOVE your trivia games and was bingewatching some of your past content! If anyone is reading this PLEASE go over a check out BookBarBros channel, you will NOT be disappointed. Thanks for watching!
Very fair deals there my friend, CONGRATS!! Not gonna lie that shipping did look concerning! Don’t turn those limbs on EV! MTFBWYA!
I got lucky with that shipping! It was the most nerve wracking box opening yet. Thanks for being a big help in my Journey Michael. You've helped me a GREAT deal on this.
Where can I get that display case ???
Collector Displays in the UK
I have all of them minus the telescoping sabers
Hey Tantrum! You have an epic collection! Thanks for watching the vid my friend. Are you ever going to get a DT figure?
Notice the date on most of these 84+ . This is about the time most of us started to hit our late teens and quit collecting.
Hey SGT! I agree. By the time 84 hit I was into transformers and baseball and didn’t want stat wars toys anymore. Was a shame. I wish I had gotten some of the POTF figures. They were on discount at so many stores!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial yep. I got the torture Droid for about 25 cents, looking at things now I shouldn't have opened it.
I got the Sears cantina with the blue snaggle tooth and I remember being very disappointed.
I also want to question the story about the vinyl caped Jawa. I got mine when they first hit my store and they were all cloth cape.
I have 5 of these potf figs with coins.
About that Jawa....I have heard that some of them are counterfeit. Shady characters will carefully pare down Obi-Wan Kenobi's vinyl cape and pass their Jawa figure off as a genuine vinyl-caped Jawa, so buyer beware. The only way you can _really_ be sure you're getting the genuine article is to have it inspected by an expert, or buy it in the bubble.
Well Said GS, all good tips to look out for on a Jawa! Thanks for watching my friend!
I got a farmboy luke but he has a blue lightsaber lol
Haha hey at least you have one! You can always get the yellow saber if you want :). Thanks for watching Kaiju and for that funny comment :)
Damn.......Ich hatte fast Alle. Ich hatte
1) Lea
2)Barada
3)Warok
3)Boba Fett
4)Hallow Tusk Sandperson
5)EV-9D9
6)R2-D2
7)Yak Face
8) Han Solo in Freeze Case
....Damn...
That’s a rad list my friend!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial
Yes, but I left my Star-Wars figures with my grandma because I moved into my own apartment when I was 17 and you know what ? She threw my Star Wars figures in the trash and gave some away to family members or others without my knowledge!
Damn.....
My Guess Is The Death Squad Commander?
Almost spot on ;). Thanks for watching ASD!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial You're Welcome
I'll never have any of these figures in my collection.
I hope one day you can
I have the saber of pup up R2 D2, just the saber héhé.
That’s a great figure to have! Thanks for watching bloody!
If it’s an original r2 pop up sabre, it’s worth around $350. That’s just for the sabre.
A complete r2 loose example in excellent condition is now worth around $600.
A POTF MOC ungraded r2 in excellent condition is worth around $1,200
An AFA graded MOC r2 around $1,800.
I’m not a collector, so please excuse my stupidness, but when you say mint condition, do you mean till in the box? Good luck with the channel mate.
Ah yes I should clarify that as I am learning about this as well. I should say Near Mint instead of mint. This can mean loose or figures still in the card. And even if they are in the card they can loose their “mint” quality by being damaged by the sun or by being crushed or Damaged by nature (like water damage).
Near mint figures mean that their limbs are tight and don’t move easily, that their paint jobs have not been damaged, and that they come with all the original correct accessories and that the accessories aren’t damaged as well. I hope this explains it? Thanks for watching Jay and I hope to see your comments again asking questions. Please do so! MTFBWY
Uh there is the hollow chick tusken raider,,,,, I should know better haha,,,,, that it teach me to watch from the beginning the show not from the last ones , lol
Hey Carlos! Haha yea there are a ton more variants!! I just finished another episode on variants that is coming up on Saturday :)
Great top 10. Hard to find and still rising prices and many fakes being made
Yes I had someone try to sell me a SLC but lucky I didn’t bite. Lot of land mines to dodge for sure. Thank you for watching Woodrow. Always good to see your comments. MTFBWY
I can’t wait for prices to go down a bit especially for the higher ticket items! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching Woodrow! MTFBWY!
there are a customizers making high quality, near perfect reproductions of the last 17 figures, blue snag, as well as figures never produced in the original line - most available from $20 - $50. if you're in it for the fun and aesthetic of kenner star wars, no need to pay hundreds for little bits of plastic 😉
Yes I agree those figures are amazing and I especially like like the Han stormtrooper from Stan solo! I think collectors should definitely collecting the items that bring them joy. For me, and me alone, I get joy out of getting the original figures made from the era of 1977-1985. But I love that people have a choice to get those same looking figures for lower costs to add to their collections as well :). Thanks for watching Carlo! MTFBWY!
Yikes! That’s too cheap 😳
Can I find a yak face for $10? Lol. I have a time machine 😂. Yea I was shocked when I got that deal. I had to send those pics to about 4 different people. And even when I got it, I thought the figures wouldn’t be the ones in the pic. Thanks for being a part of the journey Jer! MTFBWY
I don’t know…I have a graded EV AFA 85 that doesn’t look near that nice. A little to perfect looking in my experience. Care on those weapons. Hope they’re real my man! Grade those and brace yourself
Yes I really had to check the weapon against photos on the imperial Gunnery. I still want to take them into my local vintage shop to get a second and third pair of eyes on them and I’ll def update when that happens. It’s mostly for the pew pew to make 1000% sure it’s real. I need to be that sure before I send in for grading.
