Star Wars Double-Telescoping Lightsaber: A $25,000 Figure
Luke Skywalker’s action figure from 1978 came with an unusual feature that sets collectors’ hearts racing. The first wave included a lightsaber that extended twice, creating a unique three-stage weapon. Manufacturers quickly scrapped this design because of production problems. Now, mint condition figures with this special lightsaber command astronomical prices from Star Wars enthusiasts. The figure’s original packaging multiplies its worth.
