So, I put down $350 on a 18" Darth Vader from Sideshow... the thing retired a few days later, a full 6+ months before they are going to ship... never having spent this much money on a collectible item, I thought I'd look around and see what else was selling for big $ on ebay... WOW, I have no freaking idea... here's some examples

I don't know jack about collectibles but I would think you would have to be a nut to pay that much for some of that stuff. I probably have a ton of Star Wars stuff in my grandmother's attic from the 70's. Since they aren't in the packaging and probably have some kid mung on them so it's probably not worth the effort .

yeah I gave all the stuff to spencer... he still plays with the tie fighter and x wing...and has the darth vadar cary casy full of men....... I'd rather see him play with em than sell them anyway
