Sell your vintage Star Wars toys
Found a box of old Star Wars figures in the loft? You're holding the toys I get asked about more than any others. Kenner in America and Palitoy here in the UK made them between 1977 and 1985, and I buy them every week: pristine collections, playworn job lots and everything in between. Send me a few photos for a free, no-obligation cash offer. Most people hear back within a day.

What I'm looking for
- Loose action figures, 1977–1985, from one figure to a binful
- Carded (unopened) figures, any condition of card
- Vehicles: Millennium Falcon, AT-AT, X-Wing, TIE Fighter and the rest
- Playsets, including the UK-only Palitoy cardboard Death Star
- Ewok Village, creatures, Tauntauns and beasts
- Later Power of the Force figures (1984–85) and the sought-after "last 17"
- Tri-Logo era figures and packaging
- Original weapons and accessories, even a bag of loose blasters
- …and the odds and ends: stray weapons, spare limbs, battered vehicles and mixed boxes all count. Incomplete is fine.
How much are vintage Star Wars toys worth?
The honest answer: anywhere from pocket money to serious sums, and condition decides it. A playworn common figure is worth a little; the same figure carded, or one of the rarer later releases, can be worth a great deal. Boxes matter enormously (a boxed vehicle with its instructions and inserts is a different proposition from the same toy loose) and completeness matters almost as much.
One tip before you do anything else: check the bottom of the box. The original small weapons (the tiny blasters and lightsabers the figures came with) significantly affect value, and they're nearly always hiding under everything else. Don't assume your figures are incomplete until you've tipped everything out and had a look. The same goes for a Millennium Falcon's radar dish or an AT-AT's chin guns: small parts, big difference.
Collectors particularly chase the 1984–85 Power of the Force figures and the so-called "last 17", along with UK Palitoy packaging variants, so old British collections can hold surprises. But don't be put off if yours is a tub of playworn figures with no weapons in sight: those collections are still well worth selling, and I buy far more of them than I do museum pieces. Either way, the only figure that counts is the one you actually get paid for. Send a few photos and I'll tell you exactly what I'd pay, with no obligation.

Star Wars questions
Are loose figures without packaging worth selling?
Absolutely. Most collections that come to me are loose figures in a box or a tub. That's completely normal and exactly what I buy. Carded figures are worth more, but loose job lots are my bread and butter.
How can I tell if figures and weapons are original or reproduction?
You can't easily, and you don't need to. Telling originals from reproductions is my job, not yours. Photograph what you have and send it over; my offer already accounts for what I can see.
Is a played-with Millennium Falcon worth anything?
Yes. Even incomplete or partly broken vehicles are wanted. A Falcon missing its radar dish or landing gear still has real value, to me and to the collectors who need the parts. Send a photo rather than skipping it.
