Marknaden för gamla nördprylar växer såklart år efter år och det finns bevisligen alltid samlare som kantänka sig betala tio miljoner kronor för ett NES-spel, 30 miljoner för en serietidning eller som nu - 5,5 miljoner kronor för en Star Wars-actionfigur. Heritage Auctions har nu krängt en Kenner-Boba Fett för 525 000 dollar vilket är nytt världsrekord för en samlarfigur.
Heritage Auctions:
"Its price more than doubled the record for the most expensive Star Wars action figure sold at auction, held by a rocket-firing Boba Fett that realized $236,000 in June 2022. This miniature Mandalorian also bested a Barbie to become the most valuable vintage toy sold at auction. In 2010, a one-of-a-kind, 1-carat-diamond-wearing Barbie sold for $302,000. Her reign ended Friday thanks to a protracted bidding war that landed this holy grail in one collector's cargo hold. The action figure was initially intended as a giveaway: "FREE BOBA FETT," encouraged the in-store displays, the action-figure packaging and TV ads in 1979, shortly after the armored (and, then, animated) figure debuted as "Darth Vader's right-hand man" in the Star Wars Holiday Special. All a kid — or their parents — had to do was provide proof they'd purchased four other Star Wars action figures. In return, within six to eight weeks, they would receive Kenner's 21st Star Wars action figure with the "rocket firing back pack." Even better, said the promos: "Boba Fett not available in any store."
