Star Wars Price Guide – Review of Star Wars Super Collector’s Wish Book
- Star Wars Super Collector
Here are some of the reviews for this Star Wars Price Guide Book.
By E. Chapa
As soon as I got this book, I went through the WHOLE thing cover to cover. It was great finding things I had (and kicking myself for things I wish I still had 
). When I started to wonder if there was a Star Wars _____, I’d look through the book and there it was! There are definitely thousands of pictures – problem is they’re tiny. If you don’t have the greatest vision, a magnifying glass would help.
I did also find some typos between what was identified in the picture and the id description (I’d seen the item before so I could tell the description was wrong). If you’re looking for information on the trading cards, this is the right place. I’d say probably at least 1/4 of the book is nothing but trading card information.
For the price and what the book was trying to accomplish (categorize just about any known Star Wars item on earth), it’s well worth the price. It brought back some great memories too so I think it’s still a great buy.

This is a brand new, year 2002 hardcover volume with beautiful laminated covers. It contains 384 pages with more than 23,000 listings and 12,000 full color photos !! Many of these photos are small, but viewable for reference. Items are easy to locate, and cover movie and character items, cookie jars, puzzles, costumes, action figures, playsets, micromachines and much, much more. A brief discussion of the collectible is included. Prices are year 2002. With the quantity of photos included, and the ease of item location, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. A must-have for Star Wars collectors.

I own the other wish books by G. Carlton. I find them to be really helpful, informative and I love the pictures he has for reference too. Great job! Anyone collecting Star Wars should own a copy of this book.
By Mike of Virginia
The book is a marvelous resource of information regarding the value of virtually every Star Wars Collectible imaginable. As the author warns, it is a guidline document and so should be treated as suggestion and not absolute in the values listed. As such, it is a tremendous compendium of useful information…with a few errors. As an example, I have an item that appears to have been missed and so its value isn’t addressed. There is also an entry error involving an erroneous photographic reference. And in a book this extensive, it’s understandable. It is a great reference document and I am glad to have a copy. I recommend it highly!
By Chris Brennan (Star Wars Collectors Guild) (Melbourne, Australia)
Packed with thousands of colour photos and some great details, it is something that should be part of any serious collectors library. Overloaded with page after page of collectable.
Although some of the action figures variations are not listed and there are a few items missing from the list, I am sure the author will correct these MINOR oversights with his next edition.
Outstanding book, outstanding value.
