Over the past year, the carded 1985 DROIDS Boba Fett has been one of the most in-demand figures for vintage Star Wars collectors. The value for this rare figure has soared, and an AFA 75 recently sold for $16,000 on eBay.

1985’s Power of the Force figure collection offers some of the hottest Star Wars collectibles as well, with carded examples reaching record prices.

How much did an AFA 85 Luke Stormtrooper sell for on eBay in the past two months? Did an Imperial Gunner really sell for $3500 at the last Hake’s auction? With figures like Luke X-Wing, Han Solo in Carbonite and R2-D2 with Pop-Up Lightsaber commanding prices of $2000 or more in recent public sales, will they hit new highs in Hake’s auction 234?

And at what price will Hake’s AFA 80 DROIDS Boba Fett end? Could we see a $20,000 price tag on a beloved rarity?

Join host David Quinn and collector/author Matt George for a conversation about these items and more, as they explore 1985’s Power of the Force (POTF), DROIDS and EWOKS collectibles in the latest Hake’s catalog. In the seventh and final part of this pre-auction series, David and Matt share the stories behind the pieces, as well as some of the latest market trends and items to target!
