The Rise of Vintage Star Wars Collectibles
The podcast episode explores how vintage Star Wars toys from the 70s and 80s have become highly sought-after collectibles amongst adults who were fans of the films as children. The popularity of the original Star Wars trilogy and the merchandising deals struck by George Lucas contributed to the initial success of the toys. However, after the release of the final film in the original trilogy, interest waned, leading to stores selling off remaining stock at low prices. In recent years, nostalgia has fueled a resurgence in the demand for vintage Star Wars toys, driving up prices and creating a thriving market for collectors.
