Star Wars (Vintage) Update

Since the values of certain items can fluctuate greatly over time, The Toy Collectors Guide prides itself in keeping up with the most current market trends and any shifts that may affect the various secondary market prices. There are many factors that drive those trends and shifts which include, an item’s time period, scarcity, consumer demand and overall condition. The good news for Vintage Star Wars collectors is there is ALWAYS a demand for these items, as Kenner created some truly memorable and iconic items through the years with multiple generations of collectors. Star Wars toys have always remained popular with collectors and fans, while maintaining consistent and steady growth. The line has seen yet another revival of late with multiple Star Wars lines being sold on the market today, that include the Black Series 6″ Figures, Retro Collection and the popular Vintage Collection.

Unlike other vintage toy lines, such as Masters of the Universe and Transformers, the new Star Wars action figure lines do not affect the original released toys in a negative way. In fact, it’s the complete opposite. This is mostly due to Star Wars toys being around for such a long time, and collectors having already been through several different iterations of their favorite characters. For some toy lines, buying the newer “Retro” toys are obviously a much cheaper way to re-live your childhood, so it’s naturally going to have an affect on the values of the original toys, but the Star Wars toys from past generations are still consistently trending in the right direction. The 1978-1985 Kenner line looks as healthy as ever and very much in demand, with many items still remaining very affordable. This bodes well for the future of Star Wars items and collectibles with an absolute rabid fanbase of collectors, who continually seek out items from their favorite galaxy far, far away.

In addition to the value updates, there has also been some additions and enhancements to the Vintage Star Wars pages to expand your viewing experience. We hope you enjoy the newest Star Wars update and as always, keep the feedback coming.
