One of the rarest Star Wars collectibles is now available at auction, and it can be yours if you pay what would be a record-breaking price. A certified authentic rocket-firing Boba Fett prototype figure from 1978 is up for auction on Ebay, from an anonymous seller in Dubai, UAE. The asking price? A paltry $225,000. With free shipping!
If sold at that price, it would represent a new high record for the rare figure. The seller, who told ABC News that he wishes to remain anonymous, is confident that it can reach his asking price because, “This is the kind of piece that transcends collecting. Every time it sells it breaks another record because they just don’t come very often.”
He’s right that the price of the collectible has been trending upwards. Last year, one of the figures sold for approximately $113,000, and then just a few months later, another sold for $186,000. If that trend continues with this figure, it should have no trouble finding a $225,000 buyer. So far no offers have been made.
