The holy grail of Star Wars collecting, the rocket-firing Boba Fett from Kenner, comes up for auction once or twice a year and there is one currently available on eBay…. if you have a spare $225,000 (if only the £/$ was more favourable!).
Zach Tann, a Los Angeles-based toy collector who is brokering the eBay sale for the current owner, a man in Dubai, told ABC News he was confident the figure would not last long, even with the large price tag. The seller wants to remain anonymous.
“This is the kind of piece that transcends collecting,” he said. “Every time it sells it breaks another record because they just don’t come very often.”
The eBay description reads: “Here it is. One of the true grails of Vintage Star Wars with amazing provenance. The item is currently in Dubai and will be shipped fully insured or even better arrangements to meet up in person can be made.”
Almost a year ago, another rocket-firing Fett sold for $112,926, breaking a record, ABC News reported. That record did not last long as just a few months later, someone bought another one for $185,850.
Here’s the link to the auction — happy bidding!
