I have been waiting a long time for this episode on collecting guide, i also love the music in the background. It is very star warsy. I happen to own a vintage kenner darth vader action figure from 1977. Loose. Man it is retro. It reminds me of the days when children and adults used to love their lives watching their children play with their figures that they had just got and opened up.

I need to upload my original 12. I put my friend's Blue Snaggletooth in a few vids like my Jawa Sandcrawler. I was 10 when I saw Star Wars. A kid on the school bus had R2 and 3PO. My Dad took my sister and I the next day to get Luke, Vader, Ben, Han, Chewie, Leia , R2, 3PO and a Stormtrooper. They were locked behind a jewel case. The manger had to get a key. He said I don't know why they do this lol My friend eventually got Blue Snaggletooth in the Sears exclsive cardboard cantina. I got the ESB Carbon Freezing chamber instead. I already had the original cantina. I remember his Aunt says It's a piece of cardboard! His cousin had a vinyl caped Jawa. I have my Sandcrawler so we each have a holy grail Star Wars collectible lol MTFBWY PS @2:44 takes me back. You can tell there was probably one Vader short-cased in a case of lots of Sand People lol

Born in 1969 so I was the perfect age for Star Wars. Didn't have much money then but I did get a few figures in 1979. Had more money in my pocket in the late 80's but by then, all the action figures had disappeared.

Great video. I was lucky enough to keep all my childhood toys. I have just 5 figures missing to complete my collection and a big selection of vehicles Etc.. My problem is that I can't find an accurate value for good condition, loose but complete, with card back figures. Any ideas of where to look??
@ActionFigureResource 4 жыл бұрын
I will be putting up a comprehensive guide to grading and valuing sometime over the next month or two. Also you could check out my videos on this channel about grading and valuing them. Another factor to bear in mind is that the value of a figure is often derived from previous price a figure has sold for. However, with rarer figures this is often difficult to gauge as they aren't often sold. Another ET r resource could be to check out Brian's TIYS, which is one of the biggest sites for buying and selling Star Wars toys, but go by his BUYING prices not SELLING prices. HTH 😃

What sort of value would a complete collection of loose figures bring including all the last 17 and blue snaggletooth? I have some weapons and accessories.

Just inherited a handful of loose figures that were never played with they still look brand new. All stamped 1977 and Made in Hong Kong on them. Obi wan Kenobi with vinyl cape and saber still intact, Darth Vader with vinyl cape and saber still intact, Luke Skywalker Tattoine clothing with saber still intact, C-3PO and R2-D2. They were locked in a modified humidor box for who knows how long so look like they were fresh from the store. He used to have all the vehicles and playsets but sold most of when his cancer started getting bad. I remember when he let the Death Star set go it was my favorite I had when I was a kid too. Are loose vintage worth anything if in excellent condition?
@ActionFigureResource Жыл бұрын
Yes, they would definitely be worth something. Check if they have the telescoping lightsabres and also whether R2D2 has the extending periscope. Check out my videos on the variants etc because there are a few things to look out for on these. Also check out my checklists of these early figures. A great site for the variants is the Imperial Gunnery, but you may not want to go down that rabbit hole!!

When I was a kid in the 80’s, we moved across country and my box of toys never made it. The movers stole them. They got my original vintage Star Wars figures in the Darth Vader carrying case and that Yoda hand puppet at 2:22 in the video. They also took my original transformers and original He-Man figures. All gone. I can’t bear to think of how much money that would be today but I had a lot of them. I collect Star Wars figures today to get back a little of what I lost and so I can share them with my son.

OMG that's awfully. I recently (a few years ago) asked my mother about all my old action men, Bionic Man, Transformers and Evil Knievel etc toys, thinking they were still safely stored in our attic (loft) but she calmly told me she gave them to our cousins years before 😡😡 luckily though my 2000AD and action comics, Annuals etc are still in one piece.

Not 8 years; 7 years. No toys were released until about February of 1978. Since noting was released until 1978, it makes more sense to refer to vintage SW toys as 1978-1985, as is traditional. Just because SW was filmed in 1976, it wasn't released until 1977... catch my drift? Sorry, pet peeve!
@ActionFigureResource 4 жыл бұрын
Yes I fully understand and technically you're correct BUT the OFFICIAL release date was late 1977 but because of production delays they weren't ready until Feb 1978 as you state, this is of course why Kenner released and sold the Earlybird Starter Sets that could be redeemed for the actual figures once the were released.
