Some tips for Finding A Final 17 Star Wars Figure - Part 2

 

Part 1 of this guide to buying a final 17 star wars figure went over why they are so collectable, and why you ought to look out for a good offer on them. It also outlined which star wars figure to search for when you would like to add some of the final 17.

At this point you will realise how challenging it can be - but you should persist with your search. Lots of star wars figure fans give up, only to begin searching collecting a few months down the line.

 

In the last piece of writing I discussed second hand stores, but you may also come across a decent price on a last 17 star wars figure and give to a worthy foundation by browsing the toy area of charity shops. Pricing is normally not founded on collector prices, so they are absolutely worth a look.

And don't ignore star wars figure events - you can gain precious knowledge on places to find a final 17 star wars figure at these places as nobody knows the collector route better than other fans of star wars figures. This is also a wonderful way to make contacts with other star wars figure fans, and even though you may not find the lowest priced star wars figure offers here you can always organise a swap!

 

Nobody knows where the final 17 star wars figure you want is hiding, from attics to official auctions, there are currently deals to be found on a final 17 star wars figure, so keep looking.

 

Since the top 2 of the final 17 star wars figure collection were outlined in the first article, I am now going to give you a couple of tips on locating a couple of lesser known ones that need to be snapped up if you ever notice them. Here is the next two in my guide to purchasing a final 17 star wars figure:

 

Barada

Barada is an appealing acquisition to any final 17 star wars figure set due to his name - which is taken from the phrase "klaatu barada nikto" which was used in the motion picture The Day the Earth Stood Still. Lots of fans are fond of Barada Figures

because of his appointment with Jabba fixing the sand barge.

 

EV-9D9

Put out by Kenner in the late 1990s, this female torture droid from Jabba's kingdom is fairly hard to find in the last 17 star wars figure collection. If you are buying this figure you must make sure it includes a controller extra which was only released on the original figures. A modern star wars figure or fakes do not include this. You can recognise ev-9d9 Figures

by looking out for a very meticulous third droid eye and peg holes which are not widespread on a geniune star wars figure.

 

Please watch out for the next addition to my guide for purchasing a final 17 ">Star Wars ">Figures

for more hints.
