Ah, yummy, the dullest of the Star Wars figures that got the Ronsol and firecracker treatment way back then...  :(

The father-in-law used to work at that auction house, I'll have to mention it to him.  They made themselves a tidy sum on this one then, I think they charge a 20% fee to both buyer and seller, so that'll be £3-4k in their pocket!

That way you could publicly burn 4 of them and then auction one of the last two in existence :)

I like your way of thinking good sir!!

Also imagine buying this, and coming home the next day from work, and see the wrapping torn apart and lying on the carpet, because that little toddler you have wanted to 'play with bear'!!

When I left home in the sixties I left behind a whole stack of mint, boxed army Dinky Toys. I came back some years later to find that my mother had given the models, by then probably worth several hundred pounds, to my youngest brother "to play with". They were now a jumbled heap of tyreless scrap in a cardboard box.

My mother was a teacher.
She gave everything to her school ( primary school, between 6 and 10 years old.)
This included my comics, and lots of stuff   :'(
