Collecting Star Wars Action Figures
Collecting Star Wars Action Figures is very common nowadays. It actually began from the Revolution on Action Figure collecting. Here is how to start collecting this mammoth collection of Star Wars Toys.
To start your Star Wars action figures collectibles collections, it would be good to start with an orignal figure from the 1970s but if you do not have the means to get an original Star Wars figure, it is still fine, you can move onto The Power of the Force collection series. These were a new replica series of the original triliogy of movies also known as Episode 4, 5, & 6.
The Power of the Force Action Figures will have the likes of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia and of course the famous Darth Vadar and all of his Storm Troopers. Please take note that these Star Wars Action Figures are no longer available for sale at the stores but can be found at Comic Book Stores. This is for your information.
Star Wars Action Figure Vehicles is another collectibles that is worth collecting for sure. A couple of popular Star Wars Episode 4, 5, & 6 Vehicles are of coure the Millenium Falcon, a must have for any serious collector and a very unique vehicle known as the At-At. The At-At could be seen in the snow versions of the movie and was a Storm Trooper machine that had legs. A very big vehicle also for Action Figures.
Attack of the Clone Action Figures that just belonged to those 3 movies. It has Anakin Skywalker, Queen Amidala in her red gown and also a Padme Amidala with a more active dress. Now, Queen Amidala Paper Dolls have each one of Queen Amidala’s luxerious gown featured to put on the dolls. But we also cannot forget the likes of the Clones and Darth Maul. They are my favourites too!
At this point you may want to invest in an entire collection of Star Wars Figures that someone wants to sell off. That is what I did to grow my Star Wars collections very big scale today! I can also be a human Star Wars Price Guide!
Star Wars Price Guide – Review of Star Wars Super Collector’s Wish Book
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.

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.
