The Vintage Collection Market Update - Recent Sales on eBay

The host, known as the Action Figure Grader, walks through a curated list of recent eBay sales from the Star Wars Vintage Collection over the past one to two weeks. He opens by noting the release of the new deluxe Baze Malbus figure (VC397), pointing viewers to Boss Bounty's review for more detail on the figure itself.

The video begins with VC17 General Grievous, where an unpunched US card sold for $80 and a punched example closed at auction for $88 shortly after — both considered good deals. He then moves to Canadian cards, including a corrected 'Boba Fett' (not 'Baba Fett') variant of VCPO3 on a Darth Vader VC08 card that sold for $265, and an unpunched Revenge of the Jedi Luke Skywalker with multi-language card that sold for $90. The host speculates that the corrected Canadian versions may be rarer than the error versions, though he acknowledges uncertainty.

UK-listed figures are also discussed, including a VC34 Jango Fett unpunched card listed at 80 pounds (~$105 USD) and a Clone Trooper 212th Battalion at 75 pounds (~$99 USD). He notes that 130point.com, a resource for finding accepted best offer prices, recently redesigned its website and had some data gaps.

For the newly released Baze Malbus, both available examples on eBay sold for $135, which the host attributes to buyers overpaying to be among the first to receive the figure. He predicts the price will drop to $25–$30 or less in the near future, though he praises the figure's face sculpt and accessories.

VC112 Sandtrooper unpunched examples are shown selling in the $110–$135 range. Darth Vader VC115 Emperor's Wrath sold for $100–$119, with the host advising caution about certain sellers like Star Wars Galaxies who sometimes receive premium prices despite minor defects on their items.

Highlights among larger items include a Power Droid seller's SDCC Carbonite Chamber box set with Jar Jar Binks listed at $700 — which the host considers fair given a comparable Heritage Auctions result. A sealed Diamond Comic Distributors-labeled Toys R Us exclusive AT-AT Walker from 2010 sold for $800, which the host found unusual and interesting, theorizing a comic retailer purchased it through Diamond's distribution network. A loose complete Jabba's Sail Barge (HasLab Khetanna) was listed at $2,500 with a best offer accepted at $2,250.

The video then covers graded Vintage Collection items: an AFA 9.0 Rebel Commando sold for $97, an AFA 8.5 Jango Fett bundled with an 8.5 Black Series Boba Fett sold for $250 (listed at $350), an uncirculated 9.25 Lumat sold for $225, and CAS-graded Emperor's Royal Guard and Luke Endor Capture sold for $145 and $138 USD respectively.

The host closes by showcasing custom figures — including a thoughtfully designed Ula custom using a Power of the Force 2 base figure — and a US-based 3D-printed 1/18 scale Sandcrawler diorama, which he considers slightly less detailed than a previously featured Sri Lanka-based version but more affordable. He thanks his YouTube and Patreon members before signing off.
