Holy Crap!!!

Darth Loki · Mar 24, 2006

I was just helping my Dad move some stuff out of his old house and we found a Kenner Early Bird special pack with Luke, Leia, Chewie, and R2 all still in the originaly packaging. They are all still in the white tray with the white peg things also. It's got all the original certificates and everything.

Not that he'd sell it but does anyone have any guess as to what these are worth? Especially since they are all still factory sealed.

MUST HAVE PICS.....holy crap is right if they're all original :google

Please post some pics...I have to see this...you lucky little poo

Why when I'am cleaning an old house all I seem to find are dead rats :devil

Not sure what they are worth but you could try searching ebay to see. If they are original I know Walmart had a set that was almost exactly the same.

Yeah, just search ebay, go to completed listings on search page and check prices. You can also call a local comic book shop and ask them (of course they'll tell you to check on eBay) but many shops know about this stuff.

I just tried a quick search but couldn't find any info about value.

But its the very first STAR WARS toy ever, so it must be worth hundreds at least.

Check the set -- Luke should have a telescoping lightsaber, which alone is worth a ton of money. I know, I have an original Vader with telescoping saber and its been reported to be worth up to $10,000 (see link).

Lucky you!!!

We are moving more stuff today so I'll take my camera to take some pics.

Someone on eBay has this set but they are loose and it has a different Luke, I think. He's asking $260. No one has anything even close to as new as what my Dad has. We also found a loose double telescoping Vader!

I am not 100% sure but probably close to $400 if it's still sealed for the figures, maybe more.

If you have the original mailing certificates too, another $150-$200.

I wasn't expecting 10 G's. Although if it was that high I think I'd have to talk my Dad into letting it go. I'm just sure he'll give it to me in a few years and it will look cool next to all my SS.

Keep it. Frame it. Enjoy it.

Loki: go on rebelscum.com and ask there, or ask the guy who runs the site by e-mailing him. He'll give you a definate answer I am sure.

The Godfather · Mar 25, 2006

Yeah Philip Wise probably knows.

Darth Loki · Mar 25, 2006

Got pics, now I just need to figure out to get post them.

Sorry but I'm slightly retarded when it comes to computers.

Bannister · Mar 25, 2006

just out of curiousity, what is a telescoping lightsaber?

Darth Loki · Mar 25, 2006

It extends out a little bit and there's a slot in the arm for it to go back. It actually looks really cheesey but hey, who am I to judge.

Bannister · Mar 25, 2006

thanks for the quick reply and congrats on the find.

Darth Loki · Mar 25, 2006

I tried uploading the image but it says the file size is too big. Can someone tell me how to do this or can I email someone the pic so they can post it?

Congratulations on the find!!! That is absolutely amazing finding the early bird set!

Good luck with that Loki, and let me know if it is painful to sit with a horseshoe lodged in your lower GI tract.

Here's some of my figures:
