If you’ve got an old Star Wars toy you could be sitting on up to £26,000
The Last Jedi trailer has launched to much fanfare - but do you have a small fortune hiding in your attic?
STAR Wars fans with toys from a galaxy far, far away could be set for a payday worth THOUSANDS.
The full-length trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi launched yesterday, with film buffs over the moon about what to expect from the latest adventure.
And fans of the franchise might be able to cash-in on the enduring popularity of the space saga.
Rare toys and figurines, particularly those that were released during the first trilogy of films between 1977 and 1983, can sell for astronomical sums.
With the help of toy auction house Vectis, we've put together a list of the most valuable Star Wars toys that have been sold.
And it's worth checking to see if there's a forgotten Luke Skywalker or Han Solo toy hanging around...
Here's the most valuable Star Wars toys ever to sell at auction...
Boba Fett - sold for £26,000
A rare toy of bounty hunter Boba Fett went for an eye-watering, world record price of £26,000 in July last year.
The 3.5 inches-tall, boxed figurine was part of a collection put together over 40 years by a French collector.
The collector also sold an unpainted prototype toy Fett, which was never mass-produced as there were fears its firing rocket was a choking-hazard for children, for £18,000.
The sale beat the previous best-selling Star Wars item - ANOTHER Boba Fett sold for £18,000 in 2015.
Jawa with vinyl cape - sold for £21,600
The Jawas only appear for a couple of minutes right at the very start of the first Star Wars film - but they've made more of a splash among collectors.
A rare Palitoy Jawa with vinyl cape sold for £21,000 in May - the 40th anniversary of the films - and it was originally sold for around just £1.
It's one of only a handful known to exist, having been later replaced by a figurine with a dark brown, brushed nylon cape.
Back in 2013, another Jawa with vinyl cape sold for £10,200.
Vlix from Droids - Sold for £12,000
Even if you're a big Star Wars fan, you've probably not heard of Vlix.
That's because he never appeared in any of the films - but is a character from the "Droids" animated series from the 1980s.
The villain was never put into full production by US toy-maker Kenner, leading to its rarity.
A version from Brazilain manufacturer Glasslite was sold in July 2016 for a whopping price of £12,000.
Yoda - sold for £9,600
Arguably the most-loved character in all of Star Wars, Jedi-master Yoda, acted as a mentor to Luke Skywalker in the first trilogy.
Part of the same French collector's treasure-trove, this figure was produced by Meccano and went for nearly £10,000.
Darth Vader - sold for £7,440
The dark-lord of the Star Wars universe, this Darth Vader figure from the 1977 - the year of the first Star Wars film - sold for £7,740 earlier this year.
What about selling your Star Wars toys on eBay?
Although it's unlikely you'll have a rare, boxed Star Wars figure in mint condition, you might have lots of toys and figures lying around - and they can still be worth a tidy sum.
We had a look on eBay to see what some used figures were sold for.
Most of the figures were sold were just a few pounds when they were released in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
This 1980 Yoda with a brown snake accessory from the Empire Strikes Back has just sold for £30 - without the packaging.
And figures of Darth Vader and Boba Fett from 1977 and 1979, both unboxed and missing their lightsaber and blaster, has just sold for £67
If you are selling on eBay, remember to set a minimum price for your item - if you don't it could sell for less than what you want for it.
And there's no guarantee your buyer will cough up what they said they would pay either.
In its terms and conditions, the website states that bidders enter a “legally binding contract to purchase an item”, but there’s no way to enforce this rule in reality.
The most eBay can do is add a note to their account about the unpaid item or remove their ability to bid and buy.
If a bidder refuses to pay, then the only option for sellers is to give “second chance offers” to other bidders or relist the item.
