How to use this website
This site is perpetually under construction, but the pages that we've finished now, such as the ones listing earlier figures themselves, are quite easy to navigate. Every Figure is listed in order of issuance. Simply use the navigation menu at the Top of the page to choose your series of Vintage Star Wars Figure or toy, and the resulting page should have all of the items in that series listed with pictures. Further, look for new posts down the Right side of the page for individual Figure and Toy Pages, where we'll find up-to-date information and price for you on every Star Wars toy!
However, if you're really in a rush to find the something, try our Search at the top-right first.
Why a whole website about a single line of 30 year-old toys?
Because the popularity of Star Wars Toys, even those made 30 years ago, is astounding. Even back in 1985, when Return of the Jedi was fresh in all of our minds, we kids already knew that these toys were worth more than our transformers, our GI Joes, and all of our green, plastic toys soldiers combined... The "collectability" of Star Wars toys was already hyped up beyond any other toys, and 20 years later, there is no end to the hype in sight... Our need to continue collecting them is at an epic proportion!
For instance, at the time of this writing, there are currently 15,200+ toy auctions being sold in the category mentioned above. And that's just 1 category in the star wars section of collectible toys in eBay alone! Think about that. Some are for a simple replacement part like Obi-wan's vinyl cape, and many others are 'used lots' of 50 or more figures in various shape. Average that out to something like 1 vehicle or playset and 15 figures w/weapons & clothing articles times 15,200, then add in the other categories these toys might fall under, then add in other auction websites and online stores, and you've literally got many thousands of people selling Millions of Vintage Star wars toys, a child's toy that hasn't been produced since 1985, at any given time, 24/7/365!
Top that, Barbie, Cabbage patch kids, Pet Rock, Care Bears, GI Joe, and Mr. Potato Head!
