are Star Wars toys expensive?

[archaznable]

Hi there just have some several questions regarding Star Wars collectible items.

1.) Are they expensive or not?
2.) What kind of budget you need when you buy Star Wars collectible items?
3.) What are the cheapest or better yet the most expensive Star Wars collectibles ever?
4.) What are the price ranges for Star Wars Collectible items.
5.) Are there any scales you need to know when buying Star Wars Collectibles?

Just wanted to start collecting Star Wars i'm also a big fan of Star Wars kasi eh.

Thanks

for me its a bit expensive line to collect, but hey I'm a star wars fan too, its a matter of good timing, save enough dinero, and patience......LOTS OF IT! in the end it will be worth it, so far the most expensive collectibles that i have seen are the prop replica's eg. lightsabers, helmets, blasters, etc. i got the unleashed line ranging from 900php to 3T, also got the fx lightsabers, these are really cool, they cost around 7,300php - 8,000php sometimes higher ( darth maul double blade ) 14k the normal figs cost around 300+php - 700+php to 1k depending on the character, anyway's go look around, there's alway's a chance you can find a good and better deals for these, good luck and may the force be with you! ;D

Are they expensive? It all depends on what exactly you plan to collect, i.e. action figures, vehicles, MR sabers, statues, high-end collectibles? Ultimately, what may seem expensive to some may seem affordable to others and vice-versa. Its very subjective. Suffice it to say that since the supply of SW toys and collectibles in mainstream toystores is spotty and unreliable, you'll have to go to specialty stores where such things are more expensive.

What kind of budget? Hmmm.....I guess setting a budget will all depend on what you intend to focus on. for example, if you intend on focusing on action figures only, I think a budget of 5k per month will assure you that you get a complete set of the latest assortment....more or less.

Cheapest and most expensive? The most expensive would probably be prototype figures, particularly coming from the vintage line. For example, if you can find a vintage missile firing boba fett, that's super expensive! Similarly, vintage AFA graded carded figures are also extremely pricey! Cheapest? In the U.S., when stores like Kaybee and Toy Liquidators sell the peg warming SW figures, they can go for an average low of 2.99. In some cases, that 2.99 could even become buy 1-take 1.

Price ranges? There are a lot of SW collectibles out there so you have to be more specific.

Scales? What do you mean by scales? On the average, a standard SW action figure is probably at the 1:18 scale. The vehicles though are not at the true 1:18 scale. If they were, the vehicles would have to be much bigger and wouldn't be economically viable to manufacture.

I hope this helps.

During my pre-school years, I had several vintage SWs. I regret destroying them or giving them away. When the POTF line came up, I collected a few figs & vehicles. For your inquiry, oo, there are a couple of SW collectibles that are expensive. If you are a fan of the original trilogy, you can still scope some of those figs on ebay.ph. You just have to be patient when collecting them. Parang G.I Joe sila...marami at mahirap kolektahin. I did a selective collection method to save money, ika nga nila. Good luck!
