Vintage Star Wars toys selling for galactic amounts at auction

A 35-year-old toy from Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes back has sold for a colossal £18,000 ($27,000). The toy, which 35 years ago cost £1.50, was not a movie prop – like the blockade-runner spaceship that California-based auctioneers Profiles in History sold for $450,000 – but a Boba Fett figurine.
