I know it will never happen, but let's say they do sell off everything. Does anyone have a rough estimate how much the toy stash would fetch? I know the Unicron is worth quite a bit, but are there any rarities or anything special in the collection?
This came up a while back.
If I recall correctly, there are probably buyers but all of the interesting pieces we are aware of have been unboxed for a start and are probably in subpar condition.
He appeared to a have a few unopened, but that seemed to be more that he had not got around to opening them for the buzz so who knows about them now?
Unopened rare ones will be ”valuable”, but it’s a buyers market.
The Unicron, if that was an unopened original model from the 80s, then yes that would be a relative fortune. But a “reprint” opened and exposed to troon filth, it would sell to the right collector, but certainly for less than Kev bought it for.
People usually make the mistake of thinking because old Star Wars toys were selling for silly money, that it applies to all merch.
The only reason that Star Wars toys sold was because at the time Star Wars toys were bought for children, they were the hottest toy so always opened and played with.
Same as transformers in the 80s.
Newer stuff tends to sell as both toys for children but also collected by adults who store it with the intention of selling it in a few years.
Obviously that diminishes the value by decreasing the rarity, but also there isn’t the same level of nostalgia for the merchandise.
Star Wars was pretty unique in this phenomenon.
