OT Leonardo DiCaprio to sell over 150 lots of Star Wars toys

[comicseekers-migration]

So now action figures have "collection" designations too?

THEY'RE A PEDIGREE!

 

This could be the next ugly thread war:

 

Leonardo DiCaprio SW toys...Collection or Pedigree?

 

Maybe we can get him on here and grill him over it.

 

Who do you think started this thread, Leonardo the shill

Theres so many fake vinyl cape Jawas floating around, that it's damn tough to get a premium for it (loose) nowadays at all.

 

That's why it's still sitting here. I'd rather own a rarity than sell it for peanuts.

I was thinking about placing a bid until I read the auctions fine print.

 

"Winning bidders must pay within 10 days and must allow Leonardo to sketch them naked while wearing a blue diamond necklace".

JC, There are prominent collectors in the SW hobby who would be able to authenticate the piece should you ever decide to sell it. It will make it easier to sell and you'd make more $$$. I'm sure any fee they'd charge would be very reasonable. If you ever decide to do so, shoot name a PM and I'll give you some leads.

Still have my Millenium Falcon from when I was a kid.

i've never owned any of the orignal trilogy toys, but i did get a boba fett that's still unopened for my b-day back in 2003.

I still have mine too. Talk about one trashed toy though I certainly didn't hold back playing with them.

Personally I think it's cool that he's got all that money and shows enough restraint to not buy everything in sight.

 

Although these could just be his castoffs or doubles, too

You probably don't even to have to go that far.

From what I understand, the author is the same person making this post.

Shameless plug

Many moons ago I remember there being some 'hype' around the Tusken Raider with the "closed hand". Any value in that production defect?

[Scheradon]

Speaking of Star Wars toys, I just got my priority pre-order in on the Sideshow Exclusive Bespin Han Solo 12 inch figure.

[namisgr]

Heck, it's neither a collection nor a pedigree without the SW Pez dispensers!

[skybolt]

Any chance some of those toys were used on Gisele?

 

Talk about going where no action figure has gone before!

[Solar]

Wow, those pieces are waaaaaaaaay over graded.

 

Calling this one a C9 is like calling an VF book 9.4. "Morphy" needs to lay off the crack pipe.

I am jealous, Giselle and toys!!!

Wait a minute!! That's not Anakin Skywalker - it's some old fart that looks nothing like the young guy at the end of the ROTJ DVD!!

 

What insufficiently_thoughtful_person makes these toys anyway?

[Guardian Comics]

That Anakin is so over graded. It's the most valuable piece in the lot. 3-4 k in mint condition. The Bubble is so yellow, the creases are huge. Perhaps more like a C-7 candidate. As for Beyonder, all that newer POTF stuff has very little value today. You could set up at a toy show, put that Sand Person variation you were talking about out for $5.00, and I pretty much guarantee, you're taking it home with you.

Thanks for the response.

I would have been more impressed if he had the Droids Vlix figure or a REAL Boba Fett with the firing missle.
