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. Toys specialist Vectis Auctions sold the 9.5cm moulded plastic figure in January on behalf of British collector Craig Stevens. Now various collectors hordes of Star Wars memorabilia, including items so rare they may be unique, are piled up in Vectis, ready for auction. Nov 30, 2015

Arsene Wenger: Premier League too close to call

With just four points separating the top five, Leicester City top of the table and reigning champions Chelsea languishing in 15th position, the Premier League is tighter than ever. With 13 games played the Premier League, often seen as one of the most competitive in the world, is proving too difficult to predict for many, including Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who says he isnt even looking at the league table now as any team in the division could still win the title mathematically.
