I thought you guys might find this interesting:

I've been watching each SW movie the past few nights (I'm home from school for the summer and bored), and it got me wondering where the Star Wars figures I purchased back in the day were.

I was 11 when TPM came out and 14 when AOTC was released, so I was sort of just a kid wanting to play with toys. I found my figures, in a Ziploc bag, just as I left them. My collection includes:

From TPM: Little Anakin with a backpack, Darth Maul with no cloak and the double-sided lightsaber, and Darth Sidious.

From AOTC: Anakin with an arm that comes off, Yoda with a lightsaber and a stand of sorts to stand on, a Clonetrooper with yellow on his helmet, Ki-Adi Mundi with a blue lightsaber, Jango Fett with a missile that shoots out of his backpack and Dooku, whose lightsaber slashes down (to cut off Anakin's removable arm.).

I also have Darth Vader and Luke from the ESB scene where it's revealed Vader is Luke's father. Vader came with the pillars that get cut in half and Luke comes with the a removable hand (which I can't find) and the satellite of sorts he hangs from at the bottom of Cloud City.

None of them are probably worth anything (they're all open, of course), but I got all nostalgic and excited when I found them.

I think that makes them worth quite a bit. wink

Indeed, don't expect to make big bucks out of post-vintage figures. The numbers in which Hasbro produces figures are immense, much higher than Kenner ever did. The value in these clearly lies with your own feelings.

I have an vintage loose Amanaman in just perfect condition, despite the fact I played with him when I was a kid. Judging from his state he could make $120, but I'd never sell him (or any of the others), because of what these toys mean to me.

Just hold on to 'em or make a nice display case for 'em happy
