Sold a DkJR today.. The guy didnt have enough money to buy the machine, so he offered these plus cash for the DKJR.. I gave him $150 in trade for his stuff.. Its all original 1977 to 1978.. No clue what its worth.. Both ships are rough but complete.. I ordered new decals for both ships tonight, and stripped the X-wing down to get ready for paint..

all the people were complete with there guns and have stands..

I think the Ships will look cool hanging above my Star Wars Arcade and Star Wars Pinball..

djw90,

You have roughly $100-125 in toys there. I have collected these things on and off over the years so I will let my supreme nerdiness shine through here! Do the lightsabers on luke and vader have thin filaments on the end of the thick ones coming out of the arm or has the thin filament broken off. There is an entity called a "double-telescoping lightsaber" where the thin part telescopes in and out of the thicker part with the whole thing going back into the arm. Those saw very limited production runs. If you had that, it would bump up your booty around $3500.

If all those items were sealed and in average condition, you'd be looking at several thousand dollars. :)

$100-$125 cool.. thats about what im in to them for.. I offered him $100 in trade, but he was still short by $40.. He drove 30 miles to look at the machine, and seemed to have no way to come up with anymore money.. After showing him my arcade and takling with the guy for about 30 minute. I got a good feeling about him... He had just watched all the arcade documentaries. King of Kong, High Score, ect for the first time. He was totally excited about the hobby.. He had the energy and excitement.. I told him not to worry about the extra money:)

I will look at the lightsabers when I get home:cool:

I have been working on my Star Wars toppers this week.. I started with the X wing.. I matched original white pretty close.. X wing was dissassembled cleaned, old stickers removed and cleaned up with goo gone.. X wing was repainted and new Decals applied today..

I have Started on the Tie Fighter.. Im looking for another Tie Fighter and Vaders ship.. Im going to hang these above my Star Wars machines.. X wing in front, followed by tie fighters with vaders ship between tie fighters.. Should look pretty cool with black lighting..

Very cool toys. I have an original Tie-Fighter that I got for Xmas of '77, along with a bunch of different guys. I also have Boba Fett's ship. I should get them out of the box they've been stored in for 25 years and have a closer look at them. Congrats on the cool toys
