Let’s talk about that one most important thing about obsessive fan culture: the collectibles. Especially now, what with eBay and Craigslist right there at your fingertips, collectibles of all shapes and sizes are a core part of the fan experience. A lot of rare goodies accumulate over four decades, and, when you don’t have to wait for a convention to get chance to wrap your grubby paws around them anymore, the market for those old toys, posters, props, and more is bigger than ever before! No longer do you have to hit the road a꧙nd go from fair to fair and con to con in order to find that 1977 action figure or that limited edition poster.

So, of course, the game is on: thousands are carrying out their search for this or that holy grail from the comfort of their own home, and every corner of the internet is a-buzzing. And not only that, but us helpful gnomes in the blogging world are doing our part too: compiling lists. Yes, we have scoured the land for the goodies that ye fanboys and girls seek, and found news of the choicest prizes of them all, which we report back to you: here are the golden icons you want to seek the most. Here are the rarest Star Wars collectibles out there, and what they're worth.

Note: prices are either from specific sales, or are a🌃verages. In the descriptions, I'll specify which is which, 🃏so watch out for that!

26 ﷽ R2-D2 Lunch Box From 1977 ($2,600) 𒆙

The first item on the list is a lunchbox made to resemble one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars universe. This is a status made perhaps more remarkable by his complete lack of human speech, although that doesn’t seem to prevent him from being adorable: he's the droid R2-D2. This particular item is notable because it isn’t just a rare piece of Star Wars memorabilia, but also a rare lu♎nchbox—. Because this was a prototype that was never produced fo𝓡r some unknown reason, and only a dozen exist, this fetches about $2,600 on the open market.

25 Lego George Lucas From 201ꦺ0 ($2,700)

The next item on the list is an effigy of the single most important man to the franchise concerned: it’s George Lucas himself, in LEGO form. Now, George isn’t the much for the spotlight, but LEGO did somehow get some kiꦑnd of green light for this back in 2010. You may think this is a weird idea, and LEGO apparently concurred, because this baby was never actually mass-produced. That puts this little guy reasonably far onto the rare side of things, and he goes for up to nearly three thousand on the market.

24 Vlix F🌜rom 1988 ($4,000) ✤

And here we have Vlix! Who? Yeah, that’s probably most people’s first reaction. Far from the most prominent character in the Star Wars universe, Vlix appeared on the short lived 80s animated series . Vlix was part of a planned second series of Droids-related action figured made by Kenner back when the show was a thing, but the show was nixed before these could be released, except in Brazil for some reason. This guy, found in mint condition, brings in about four thousand on💮 the market, which is probably more than he e♓ver made as a cartoon character.

23 Darth Vader's TIE Fighter From 1🅺977 ($4,ಌ000)

 struck fear into a generation on the silver screen way back in 1977, and many bought said spacecraft in toy form, Kenner put out one such toy in 1978, and it is extremely rare now... worth a solid four thousand. Toy vehicles are apparently usually rarer than toy people, as less were produced. Of said Star Wars vehicles, this is apparently one of the hardest to find, and so hardcore fans lust ജafter it… to the tune of four thousand dollars, appareꩲntly. Hey, makes sense to us—it was pretty cool seeing that in the film.

22 Bronze C-3𝓰PO Lego

C-3PO manages to appear a few times on this list, and why not? He’s a great character, one of the two, along with R2-D2, to help ease fans into to the Star Wars universe way back in 1977. And on his own, who could forget everyone’s favo𒅌urite proper, persnickety gold protocol droid? Anyway, here is a true rarity: this is a unique bronze C-3PO, of which one only exists. It was the prize for a contest at Comic Con🌞, and anyone who wants it will have to fork over $4,100 to get it.

21 Chewbacca From 1977 ($4,155) ꩲ 💜

Chewbacca, the big ball of fur, is, despite his lack of a single comprehensible line across the whole series, one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars universe. He makes a few appearances on this list too, but let’s start here: it’s a Chewie action figure (aren’t you getting sick of action figures?), again put out by Kenner, one of the stars of this here list. The little figurine pictured above came out just after the original movie in 1977 and, t🤡hough not much to look at, fetches a cool $4,155 from the wallet of the inte𝓰rested super fan.

20 🗹 Death Squad Commander From 1977 ($4,850)

Some of the figurines on this list are of people nobody has ever heard of—see Vlix above, although there are some even more extreme cases to come—and some of them don’t even really have names. Enter “Death Squad Commander.” You know, those people with the funny hats you see all over the Death Star in A New Hope—those guys. Like a huge chunk of the toys on this list, t🅺his figure was done by Kenner, and it gets you about $4,850 if you happen to have one of these boys in their original box.

19 Gamorrean Guard From 1985 ($5,000) ✤ 𒁃

Here’s another obscurity: a Gamorrean guard, who could be found acting in the service of Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi—and, like many minor figures, were heavily elaborat꧟ed upon in the now de-canonized extended universe. Here’s a Kenner🐓-brand action figure, for those of you who knew who these guys were before we had to explain—and the special collector’s coin included in the package, which is the major reason why this is so rare. In the box, these collectables have been found going for about five thousand.

18 Sterling Silver Boba Fett From 2010 ($6,000) ꦦ

Here is another metal LEGO figurine, silver instead of bronze this time—a bit of a step up. This is actually a set of three Boba Fetts, and there are two of these sets rather than one—one each given out by Lego at two dif🐟ferent events that happened in 2010. So, as you might have guessed, the figurine goes for way more as part of a set, and especially if you’ve luck and have also got the glass case they came in. It goes all the way up to about six thousand—on its own, 🦹not even as part of a set.

17 ♍ Sterling Silver C-3PO From 2007 ꧑

Here C-3PO appears for the second, and not the last, time on this list. Like one of the Boba Fetts above, he’s a solid silver LEGO, and, like the bronze above, the only one of his kind in existence. He entered the world for Star Wars Celebration IV💃 in 2007. This guy is worth $6,200, and would probably fetch something crazy if paired with the other LEGO C-3PO discussed above. We honestly have to wonder what the proper droid himself would be thinking about tiny toy versions of himself going around on the market for thes🦹e kinds of figures.
