why is star wars expensive?

Started by sweersa5 pages

Collecting can get expensive but if you like it it is worth it.

You can see my collection here if you are interested. It is a few months out of date but it shows some nice things.

Expensive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙁

Kaaaaaay! I got a Thrawn figure but its not what I would consider what Thrawn 'should' look like. It cost $49.99 when I was over the States. I'm looking for a Stormtrooper outfit though. 🙂 1000 euro max

star wars is expensive for the same reason E.T. digitaly remastered and in hd version 73.2 is expensive. As far as they are concerned, just because they have updated it recently, its still new...

Nope, the C-3PO was sold by Oxfam for 10 euro. The Radio dramas were 5 euro each from the local second hand bookshop. The Darth Vader cost £20 in England and I picked up a boxed Star Wars: Rogue Squadron game for the N64 for £30 and... this broke me... I spent £150-200 on The Star Wars Vault. Oh and I found a book called Empire Building: The real life story of Star Wars by Garry Jenkins, it cost 1 euro but it worth more, loads more 😄.

I got the Vault for 20 pounds myself.

What exactly are the last 17 figures?

The last 17 were made when Star Wars fandom was going down in popularity round about 85
not many people bought them and the majority ended up as landfill so these are harder to find
off the top of my head i know BARADA,ANAMAN,EV9D9,IMPERIAL DIGNATRY,ANAKIN,YAK FACE,LUKE STORMTROOPER and LANDO GENERAL are included in the list amongst others
youll find it on the net
these are the expensive figures though Anakin has come down in price

No one likes Anakin thats why he goes down in price lolz. nice collection sweersa

Oh, thanks for the explanation. That makes sense, I have never seen any of those figures for the prices I mentioned before. A guy I meant had the Anakin one though, he let me hold it. lol

That is very cool, I still can't figure out why they put Hayden's head on his body...Hayden never even wore that outfit as a youngster! (They should have at least given Anakin his PT cloths.) Or maybe they should have left the original guy there, that sounds good to me. *Watches unaltered version*

they also took out the yub yub song.

They replaced it with what sounds like a Native American song. lol Would that be considered racist? Comparing the Ewoks to the....never mind. lol

I think I prefer John W's music for the special Ed's of SW are better than the original music it replaces. 🙂

Thats cool, whatever you like works man.

I love the score for the Prequels. Espicially the one that goes with the Maul vs Kenobi and Qui-Gon duel!
