Don't Underestimate The Power Of The Force

$20K because of the color of a small piece of packaging material?

No. This is a double telescoping light saber version. Much more hard to find than a standard 12 back.

Even more so, there are only a few that even exist of this figure. It's the very first version that was replaced almost immediately.

Why were these figures discontinued though? I can't figure that out... I've got an old Obi Wan with a stand, but it is out of the box so probably worthless.

But remember the only place you could have gotten it was from a Kenner employee. Which makes it even more rare.

One question, on this auction.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Vintage-12-Back-A-Double-Telescoping-Darth-Vader-AFA-70-White-Stand-/360666392100

 

Starting bid is .01 cents. How can the bid get upped to 19,999. when there's no other bidder yet?

 

What am I missing?

If there's a reserve it might do that, but I don't see a "reserve met" notation.

I only wish I had a DT Vader on card!

I have a loose original telescoping Luke... it is actually a cool figure.

 

I got it at a garage sale back in the mid 80's as a kid when I used to go around town on my bike to buy up all the SW figures my parents had not bought me.

 

Ahh I remember when you could find the stuff for like $1 a figure.

You are really missing out...err... are you?

Teh telescoping saber Vader Yeah, that figure on the 12 back is ultra rare. If you were lucky enough to score one when you were a kid and not open it, that was the best $2.49 ever spent.

 

I never managed to have one of these in my old collection. Too cool.

Back in the early 90s when I still lived just north of Cincinnati, OH I made some contacts out of Cincinnati when it came to flipping Star Wars stuff. One person in particular was a former employee at Kenner. He was the hook up when it came to getting amazing stuff like prototype toys, proof cards, etc.

 

He worked for them since the original 70s line of toys came out and at one point I bought almost a whole set of the Revenge of The Jedi Proof Cards (The card the action figure came attached to) off of him for roughly $25 a card. When I flipped them at $75 a piece back in the late 90s I was really happy. Now I wish I still had them, insane what these are selling for a pop.
