Luke Skywalker action figure
AVERAGE OG PRICE: $20 (new)
MIGHT FLIP FOR: $25,000 (vintage)
Not any ol’ Luke Skywalker action figure can sell for $25,000, only a limited edition 1978 figurine can. One was sold at a Sotheby’s auction for that price in 2015. It belonged to Tomoaki Nagao, the creator of the Japanese clothing line, The Bathing Ape.
With only 20 copies of the toy ever made, it has a rare “double telescoping” lightsaber that easily broke (thus, it was pulled from production.) Today, you might swipe a Luke Skywalker for around $20 at Target, but those lack in rarity and covetousness, hence if you got the original version, you got gold.
