Star Wars (Vintage) Update – 2026

“You’ve taken your first step into a larger world.” — Obi-Wan Kenobi

Because collectible values can fluctuate significantly over time, The Toy Collectors Guide remains committed to tracking current market trends and updating secondary market prices accordingly. Factors such as production era, scarcity, condition, and collector demand all play critical roles in value shifts. The good news for vintage Star Wars collectors is that demand continues to remain strong and steady.

From 1978–1985, Kenner produced one of the most iconic action figure lines in hobby history. Unlike other vintage lines such as Masters of the Universe or Transformers, modern Star Wars re-releases have not negatively impacted original vintage values. Instead, new product lines have energized the market and brought additional collectors into the fold.

With today’s Star Wars offerings like The Black Series, Retro Collection, and The Vintage Collection, interest in the brand remains incredibly high across multiple generations. The original 1978–1985 Kenner line looks as healthy as ever — still in high demand, still trending upwards, and with many items remaining accessible to collectors. The future for vintage Star Wars collectibles continues to look exceptionally bright.

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.
