Message: <blockquote data-quote="cignus_pfaccari" data-source="post: 1833368" data-attributes="member: 14557">There are some Star Wars figures that are fairly valuable; certain limited runs or common mistakes, like shipping characters with lightsabers that are too long, or the variant Boba Fetts with slightly different color schemes.  Certain of the Action Fleet vehicles (like the Imperial Transport) that appeared for a short time are also fairly sought-after.When purchasing, you also have to be careful of the manufacturer.  As an example, in April of '99, Darth Maul was IMPOSSIBLE to find, because collectors gobbled them up and no new ones were forthcoming for three-four months.  A MOC (mint on card) Darth Maul could go for $10-$20...until more came out.  Similar things have happened with LotR figures; my Strider figure was somewhere past $20, and then he got re-released in the most recent wave.  On the one hand, it's good that people can get those figures, as the real reason for the hobby is the fun that you can have with these.  On the other...it's annoying to have the effort spent looking through every store in the DC area to find that figure wasted.  But, hey.I have two loose mint (or nearly so) figures that are worth something...an ARAH Storm Shadow (circa 1986...missing his nunchuks), and a San Diego ComicCon Keldor figure (Skeletor, before he was Skeletor); I could probably get about $50 each for them on eBay, if I felt like parting with them.  Book of Magecraft, for Birthright, is somewhere close.  I paid $45 for mine, though that was probably too much.Brad</blockquote>
