A rare toy that was picked out of a supermarket bargain bin for just 99p has sold at auction for a whopping £2,000.
The Star Wars Yak-Face figure from Return of the Jedi was bought at a Tesco store during the 1980s after it was marked down from £1.59, Liverpool Echo reports. It was kept in the original packaging before being snapped up by a collector who spent 20 years hunting down toys from the film trilogy.
The unnamed buyer's hoard of 37 figures went under the hammer at Hansons Auctioneers, in Etwall, Derby, on Wednesday. The 99p toy sold for £2,000 while his entire collection, which was tipped to make £20,000, fetched an impressive £37,500.
