Note: prices are either from specific sales, or are averages. In the descriptions, I'll specify which is which, so sentinel out for that!

26 R2-D2 Lunch Box From 1977 ($2,600)

The showtime item on the listing is a lunchbox made to resemble one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars universe. This is a status fabricated peradventure more remarkable by his consummate lack of man speech, although that doesn't seem to prevent him from being adorable: he'due south the droid R2-D2. This particular item is notable considering it isn't just a rare piece of Star Wars memorabilia, but too a rare lunchbox—there are lunchbox enthusiasts, apparently. Because this was a prototype that was never produced for some unknown reason, and merely a dozen exist, this fetches about $2,600 on the open market place.

25 Lego George Lucas From 2010 ($2,700)

The next item on the listing is an effigy of the single most of import human to the franchise concerned: it's George Lucas himself, in LEGO class. Now, George isn't the much for the spotlight, but LEGO did somehow become some kind of dark-green light for this back in 2010. You may think this is a weird thought, and LEGO apparently concurred, considering this baby was never really mass-produced. That puts this petty guy reasonably far onto the rare side of things, and he goes for up to nearly three thousand on the marketplace.

24 Vlix From 1988 ($4,000)

And here we have Vlix! Who? Yeah, that's probably most people'due south first reaction. Far from the nearly prominent character in the Star Wars universe, Vlix appeared on the short lived 80s animated series Droids. Vlix was role of a planned second series of Droids-related action figured fabricated past Kenner dorsum when the testify was a matter, but the show was nixed before these could be released, except in Brazil for some reason. This guy, plant in mint condition, brings in about four thousand on the market, which is probably more than than he ever made as a cartoon grapheme.

23 Darth Vader's TIE Fighter From 1977 ($4,000)

Darth Vader'south Tie fighter struck fright into a generation on the silver screen fashion back in 1977, and many bought said spacecraft in toy form, Kenner put out one such toy in 1978, and it is extremely rare now... worth a solid four thousand. Toy vehicles are apparently usually rarer than toy people, as less were produced. Of said Star Wars vehicles, this is apparently one of the hardest to find, and so hardcore fans lust after it… to the tune of four thousand dollars, apparently. Hey, makes sense to us—it was pretty absurd seeing that in the motion picture.

22 Bronze C-3PO Lego

C-3PO manages to announced a few times on this list, and why non? He's a great grapheme, one of the 2, along with R2-D2, to assistance ease fans into to the Star Wars universe way dorsum in 1977. And on his ain, who could forget everyone'due south favourite proper, persnickety gold protocol droid? Anyhow, hither is a true rarity: this is a unique statuary C-3PO, of which 1 just exists. It was the prize for a contest at Comic Con, and anyone who wants it will have to fork over $4,100 to become information technology.

21 Chewbacca From 1977 ($four,155)

Chewbacca, the large ball of fur, is, despite his lack of a single comprehensible line across the whole serial, one of the near love characters in the Star Wars universe. He makes a few appearances on this list also, but let's start here: it's a Chewie activeness effigy (aren't you lot getting sick of action figures?), again put out by Kenner, one of the stars of this hither list. The petty figurine pictured in a higher place came out just later the original movie in 1977 and, though non much to look at, fetches a cool $4,155 from the wallet of the interested super fan.

twenty Death Team Commander From 1977 ($4,850)

Some of the figurines on this list are of people nobody has ever heard of—see Vlix above, although in that location are some even more extreme cases to come—and some of them don't even really accept names. Enter "Expiry Squad Commander." You lot know, those people with the funny hats you see all over the Death Star in A New Promise—those guys. Like a huge chunk of the toys on this list, this figure was done by Kenner, and it gets you about $4,850 if you lot happen to take ane of these boys in their original box.

nineteen Gamorrean Guard From 1985 ($5,000)

Hither's some other obscurity: a Gamorrean guard, who could be found acting in the service of Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi—and, like many minor figures, were heavily elaborated upon in the at present de-canonized extended universe. Here's a Kenner-make activeness figure, for those of yous who knew who these guys were earlier we had to explain—and the special collector's coin included in the package, which is the major reason why this is so rare. In the box, these collectables have been found going for about 5 thousand.

18 Sterling Silver Boba Fett From 2010 ($6,000)

Here is some other metal LEGO figurine, silver instead of bronze this time—a bit of a step up. This is actually a ready of three Boba Fetts, and in that location are two of these sets rather than 1—one each given out by Lego at two dissimilar events that happened in 2010. So, as you might accept guessed, the figurine goes for manner more as office of a set, and especially if you've luck and have likewise got the glass example they came in. It goes all the way up to about six grand—on its own, not fifty-fifty as function of a set.

17 Sterling Argent C-3PO From 2007

Hither C-3PO appears for the second, and non the final, time on this list. Similar one of the Boba Fetts higher up, he'due south a solid silver LEGO, and, similar the bronze to a higher place, the only ane of his kind in beingness. He entered the world for Star Wars Celebration IV in 2007. This guy is worth $6,200, and would probably fetch something crazy if paired with the other LEGO C-3PO discussed to a higher place. We honestly take to wonder what the proper droid himself would be thinking about tiny toy versions of himself going around on the market for these kinds of figures.

16 Darth Vader With Telescoping Lightsaber From 1977 ($six,500)

Darth Vader is one of the greatest movie villains of all time, and he made a major impression from the 2d he appeared on screen dorsum in '77. This detail valuable version of the Darth Vader toy has a telescoping lightsaber which was removed from the design just before mass release, due to their extreme delicacy—and then but a very pocket-sized handful of this particular grade of the action effigy actually be. The going toll is maybe effectually five to vii grand, although they have been known for go for a lot more—thirty thousand once on eBay!

15 Obi-Wan Kenobi With Telescoping Lightsaber From 1977 ($7,000)

Here'due south the same bargain, except its Obi-Wan. It'southward about every bit rare, simply Obi-Wan gets ranked slightly higher because the boilerplate toll is a fiddling more than than Darth's—more similar seven g than half-dozen and a half. Incidentally, these guys are put out by Kenner over again, who is probably more than represented on this list than whatsoever ane character or even whatever one of the Star Wars movies. I take non checked this, but anyone with the time and involvement to actually see if I'm right may feel free to do so.

fourteen Life-Sized Han Solo In Carbonite ($7,000)

Han Solo is i of the virtually meaning characters in the Star Wars series, and now, with Disney driving the bus, he even has his own personal movie. One of the most iconic scenes in his on-screen life is when, at the end of The Empire Strikes Back, Han is frozen in a carbonite slab to be brought to Jabba the Hutt, to whom he owes money. And here is your very own life-sized replica of Harrison Ford as he appeared frozen in that carbonite, for those of you lot who want it and are willing for fork over seven grand.

thirteen Anakin Skywalker Action Effigy From 1985 ($7,500)

Those of us who are very old—and there is no more evidence of this either, thank you to George Lucas and the magic of digital superimposition—will remember a time before Anakin Skywalker bore the face of Hayden Christensen, once, when he showed up maskless very briefly at the end of Render of the Jedi. Although non exactly a fan favourite, Kenner, who seems to have washed everything, actually put on an Anakin action figure back in 1985. Now this fella goes for around $7,500. It was also only put out in Canada, for some reason.

12 FX-vii Medical Droid From 1980 ($12,000)

Hither nosotros have the FX-7 Medical Droid, and you probably don't even remember what it is. Well, it's a droid which first appears in The Empire Strikes Dorsum and heals an injured Luke Skywalker for example—you can sorta see it there in the background—pretty obscure, but expanded upon in the extended universe like many other obscurities of the movies. This thing caught everyone off guard by selling for £seven,000 (about $eleven,500) at an sale. This threw the fandom for a loop, since it'due south not even every bit rare equally some of the toys we've already gone through, like Vlix, for example.

xi Solid Aureate Boba Fett From 2010 ($12,000)

Hither'south the gilt Boba Fett from the collection of three mentioned above, and he's patently worth quite a bit more than his silverish counterpart: $12,000, to be verbal. Silver being worth more than than gold. Once again, nosotros're honestly curious what these bad boys would bring in as a full set, although a full set probably no longer exists, given that they were handed out separately. Nevertheless: that would probably boot them up quite a lot in value, now wouldn't it? You heard that, collectors! Here's a challenge for y'all all!

ten Solid Gilded C-3PO

And, as we will come back to Boba Fett, here we come back to our sometime friend C-3PO. LEGO again, simply gold this fourth dimension, every bit the expected progression with go. This male child fetches anywhere from $10,000 to $xv,000 on the market place, so yous're looking fine if you're lucky enough to take 1 of the five in existence in your possession. Especially given that this is a gentleman who was build out of bit metallic by an uneducated child—at least if you lot believe in the prequels. Merely, actually, wouldn't that fifty-fifty add to his value?

9 Star Wars Issue #1 From 1977, 35¢ Version ($xiii,600)

While the movies are by far the most famous, most essential, and almost canonical tellings of the Star Wars legends, the story has also been expanded, in both official and unofficial capacity, by a plethora of books, Idiot box shows, and comics. And here we look at 1 of the first examples of this. The specific variant that'due south earned a spot on this list is specifically the ones that are priced at 35¢. Not a lot of these suckers floating around. If you take 1, know that the price has jumped upwardly from the thirty-5 cents to a cool $13,600.

8 LEGO Millenium Falcon From 2007 ($sixteen,000)

This babe was actually pretty darn pricey when information technology came out new—$500 for a box of LEGOs! This made it the virtually expensive LEGO set always put out, and information technology'due south really one of the biggest too. That was back when it came out in 2007. Pretty expensive and so, information technology is exponentially more expensive at present as long as it's withal in its original box. Someone paid $sixteen,000 for this in an eBay auction once, and its probably only going to become even more valuable with age. Sort of like cheese, LEGOs obviously get better with age.

7 Vinyl Cape Jawa From 1977 ($eighteen,000)

Here is still another Kenner action effigy. 10 bucks when it came out, this action effigy is worth about $eighteen,000 these days. Why? This especially valuable version has a vinyl cape rather than the more common cotton wool i. All the other toys Kenner put out around this fourth dimension had vinyl capes, only they decided that people would want something higher quality to justify paying the aforementioned toll for a smaller toy and so switched to cotton. Thus, only a very small number were fifty-fifty put out with the vinyl—as few equally vi of them remain!
