British Couple Inherited Vintage Star War Toys Which Turned Out to Be Worth Over 5,25,000 Dollars

News 18  

A British couple have thanked their lucky stars after a garage full of bin bags they inherited from a dead neighbour yielded a trove of Star Wars toys worth £400,000. Their son called in an auctioneer, who found a treasure trove of Star Wars memorabilia including action figures still pristine in their sealed packaging. “A lot of them were a bit damp because of how they’ve been stored but generally it’s the best Star Wars collection I’ve ever seen,” Chris Aston of Aston’s Auctioneers, told The Times. Going under the hammer was a Star Destroyer Commander, one of only two known examples still to be in its original packaging, which sold for £32,500 including fees, the Times said.
