Luke Skywalker Action Figure (1978)
Star Wars is synonymous with incredibly valuable toys, the space opera franchise spawning a myriad of fantastic action figures, LEGO sets, and models. If you know how crazy people are about Star Wars, then it will not surprise you to learn that the franchise’s vintage paraphernalia goes for many thousands of dollars. A Luke Skywalker Action Figure was made in 1978, for example, was sold in 2015 by a passionate collector who shelled out a startling $25,000 to secure the likeness of Mark Hamill’s likeness. The force was strong in this one!
PEZ Dispensers
Ah, PEZ Dispensers… how many of the little crunchy sweets did we knockback as children? As it turns out, the pistol magazine-like candy dispensers continue to be hotly searched for by vintage collectors. PEZ Dispensers are commonplace, but there are several unique ones which, when safely kept, will fetch thousands of dollars. A set called the Astronaut B came out during 1982 which you could buy for just a few dollars of course, and in today’s age being sold for thousands of dollars on eBay.
