    This covers autographs, movie tickets, dvd's, vhs, costumes, items, pictures, simply whatever that has something to do with Star Wars.

    I have not payed so much. I payed 50 $ (approx) for the special editions w/o subtitles(I live in DK).

    Whats your high bid?

    And what prop would that be, CrazyMike? ?[face_plain]

    As for myself, the most I've ever spent was about 4 or 5 years ago....
    when the Official Fan Club was still under its original ownership, and still had really cool exclusive merchandise...
    that's when I spent $300 (US) on a very limited Fan Club Exclusive item....
    the pride & joy of my collection....

    But that will be surpassed if I ever save up enough money to buy a Double Helix lightsaber from Parks Sabers. :)

    Not really collectables, but the highest-priced Star Wars-related items are:
    Bounty Hunter for PS2 - only 34.95 GBP (British Pound) but I had to buy the PS2 and a dedicated TV as well...
    Flight for two from London Heathrow to Edinburgh last August to see the 'Art of Star Wars' exhibit - around 200GBP in total.
    Highest priced figure/collectables: full-sized Boba Fett standee at GBP 30.00 and Ultimate Jango at GBP 50.00.
    So George has gotten a fair amount of my dosh..

    The most I ever spent on a single item was around 75 bucks for the FAO Schwartz Exclusive Fambaa, which was later on sale for as low as $20.00 if I remember correctly... :(

    "I just payed $75.00 for the Celebration II Jorg Sacul figure."

    I got mine for $10. I'd refuse to spend $75 on it, simply because I don't think a scalper deserves a $65 profit on the figure.

    I've had multiple SW purchases for well over $100, including a few lifesize Yoda replicas, and Yoda's lightsaber.

    I spent $270.00 (including tax) on the Star Wars Trilogy Definitive Edition Laser Disc set released in the early 1990's and it was well worth it at the time. I still have it and is the only version of the pre-special editions that I own now!

    Other than that, the most I have spent would be $145.00 on the wonderful Marmit 12 inch Boba Fett figure when it was first released (the rare version)! Very nice to be sure!

    Me too. :D Here's for the lucky dogs like me who got to go the the Celebration II! :D


    As for me... Ummm... \\thinks\\


    Dunno, not much, really. I just buy the 3.75" figures and vehicles/ships, so they don't get much over $40 or $50.

    That'd have to be my Stormtrooper armor too. I'm hoping to maybe someday have a set of Snowtrooper armor. I'd like to have Jango armor, but that's way too pricey for me.

    For regular price, I paid $35.00 for 12" electronic boba fett at KB toys several years ago. For a scalper price, I paid $12.00 for a 3,3/4" POTF carded w/slide removable helmet darth vader because I missed out on him.

    I think the most I've spent is around £50 on a single item -mainly helmets and things are around that price here in the uk.

    Other than that the majority of things I have don't go much above 25 quid .The amount of stuff I've got in my collection though adds up to an almighty sum though!


    £30 For a standee?
    i got a jango the other week for £5 and Han for £3 ! I passed on the Chewie -no more space in the boot of the car to get it home :(

    then I saw them in a shop on Saturday for £27 each!
    I wish I had bought the Boba when I could have.

    YodaJeff and Sithman, some of us who didn't get a Jorg Sacul at the issue price WERE there at CII and STILL didn't get one (or 2), because Hasbro and WotC were a bunch of TWITS who didn't produce enough to meet demand, and they also didn't do anywhere near enough to ensure that scalpers weren't going into the line every single day, to get a total of 6 from their weekend trip. I was a mere 5 or 6 people back in line on Sunday, ever so close to getting mine, when the announcement was made that they were SOLD OUT! And why?!? Partly because of Hasbro and WotC underproducing the item, and partly because of the scalpers who had to take more than their fair share! :mad:
