One of the world's rarest Star Wars figures found hidden in a loft is set to sell for up to £15,000. The Jawa figure dates back to the 1970s, with an estimated 10-12 of them scattered across the globe.
The price tag, described as 'conservative' is 10,000 times the £1.50 that the figure was originally on sale for. This isn’t the first of its kind to be sold, with one from the US selling for £27,500 last October and a UK one selling for £22,000 three years ago.
The auctioneers have taken into consideration the financial crisis that has hit the UK, leading them to estimate a lower price than others but will not be surprised if it does exceed expectation. The seller received theirs as a gift from the British toy company PALITOY during the promotion of the Star Wars line in Marvel’s comics.
