Will my Star Wars figures ever be worth any money?

So about 15 years or so ago I began collecting the Kenners (Spelling?) Re-release Collection of star wars figures. They were only the figures from the first 3 movies when they were released. Anyway, there are about 40-60 figures and vehicles all still in the package. they are sitting in plastic bags in bins under my stair case. Will this ever be worth anything, will anyone ever care about these? They are not a burden for me to store or anything, but I am just wondering if I should try to cash these in now, or in 20 years when there is no market for them? Or should I just give them to my first born son to play with?

Is there a website I can look up the value of them, or has eBay killed the market on collectibles?

Since you said they are the re-release set, then I'd assume they won't be worth a whole lot. The originals from the seventies and early 80s are worth a ton to some people.

You may still get a good bit more than what you paid for the re-release set, but it's not gonna be worth a fortune. (just my guess, I'm not an expert).

You can check out Toyfare magazine and see if they are listed.

All depends on the rarity and the demand.

I recently sold a star wars plastic toy I had as a kid for 500 bucks. It was pretty rare. It was a princess Laeia not in orginal packaging. Apparently all the little boys in the 70s did not want a 'doll' so it was rare lol. THe longer you wait the better.

problem w/collecting toys now is everyone saves them hoping they will be worth something.One reason old toys are worth so much, is that kids opened them and destroyed em. therefore making ones in packages rare and valuable. most of the time nowadays, the toy has to be short printed (forced scarcity) to be worth more than what they retail for.(Im assuming now) but those re-releases probably wont come close to the 70s and 80s 1s value wise. Good luck! who knows you might run into some crazy collector that will pay top $ for em. Also check out ebay completed auctions, that will give you an idea of what they go for.

I have 3x Leia's in the package (90's) and one Leia out of the package (70's). I also have many vehicles and a ton of comic books, including Flash #1

You can make a good bundle off of old comic books, but I would stay clear of Ebay. Contact a local comic book shop to find some sellers, but don't sell to the comic shop. They won't pay top dollar.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
