Star Wars Toys Price Markdown!

12 inch Darth Vader (Kenner)
Greedo (Kenner) circa 1978
The George Lucas 6-part multi-billion dollar epic has been forever "forced" into pop culture. The movie franchise inspired tv spin offs, cereal, t-shirts, oven toasters and toilet seat covers. Arguably, the most iconic Star Wars merchandise is the action figure line by Kenner, and now, by Hasbro. Mint on Card first editions would do damage of $700-$1000 and with no surprise, nerds of all ages buy these like it's their religion (which in most cases, IT IS).

If you don't have the money, fret you must not because the prices of these action figures have dropped constantly these days. Check out this store and you will  see that most toys are within $10-$20 and if you missed certain figures, it's time to grab them all! If you're a true die hard fan, enough with hesitations because what is there to fear? You like them, just go get them!

Star Wars: Unleashed Boba Fett (Hasbro)
Even the newer toys today are going for rock bottom prices. My favorite among all the Star Wars line is the "Unleashed" line made by Hasbro.  It re-lives the most iconic poses of marquee characters and gives it a more realistic non plastic-y feel. It even looks like a statue because all the details are made for display. I got the round case packaged Boba Fett last year for only $12 from a retail price of $12.99. No mark up on action figures lately and really, this is good news if you're a REAL fan and not just waiting to make some profit.

So what are you waiting for? Hit up eBay, check these action figures out and see if the ones you're looking for are floating around... in galaxy not so far far away...
