That is the ultra rare "Headless Luke" after his lightsaber training "accident".

LOL

You have won the internet! 😂😂

[@kuldipbinning1989]

Its amazing you can still find stuff like this. Back in 85, l started collecting Star Wars action figures. My wife brought this bag of loose Star Wars figures for our young son from Woolworths. They removed the figures from the card and stuck them in a baggie with all the accessories on sale 20 figures for $5. I went & grabbed as many as l could find with all the mini rigs. The following week, l was checking & they had restocked, this time I picked the once with all the Stormtroopers. Then over the years, l got lots more stuff from flea markets.

[@haleymaruc]

Love the toys, they were my whole childhood. Pretty cool that Vaders telescoping saber was sill intact.

[@hermbolt1]

The notalgia is strong with this one. My brother and I had almost all the figures, vehicles, playsets and creatures from the original Kenner line. We were missing the landspeeder (although we did have the remote-controlled landspeeder), star destroyer playset, death star playset, and some ewok stuff, through the entire run with the exception of the last run, called Power of the Force, and the vehicles that were released under the Droids label (A-Wing and B-Wing maybe?). We were 'too old to be buying star wars figures' by the time the last set was released. We chased them for years afterward, but never completed the set. Nice pickup!

[@Moncomics]

As someone who used to collect a lot of, and sell more, the Star Wars lot was definitely a big score and brought back some great nostalgia. You could easily double your money and then some with that lot so congrats on capitalizing at an event where comics didn't produce as one might like. As always, Mike, keep the videos coming!

[@macorourke2222]

Great video Brother! Great value pickups! Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada. I used to collect vintage star wars Toys. I stopped 1 years ago. Now I read comic books. I started reading comics a year ago. After 25 years❤❤

[@dark_leaguer5263]

I still have my dad's Darth Vader carrying case full of figures and weapons. Most of the figures are missing their trench coats though. I also read 52 as it was coming out. It was such a cool idea and a great story.

[@bigbymcflythecomicguy]

Very Cool Pick ups! I had all of those Star Wars toys As a kid 😊- I also have a James Bond Q- manual from that RPG! It is or rather was a great art reference for weapons!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

There’s a Q manual?!?! I didn’t realize I needed this in my life until right now.

[@leeniren3706]

I wish our library had cells like yours. The best we ever had was my wife and kid found a pile of comics that were dumped at the library and library, and said they could have them because someone just left them.

[@steve-ec5wp]

ALL SOOOOO COOOOOL STUFFFF!!!!!!!!!😆!!!!!!!!!!

[@dprescott1970]

Loved the Star Wars toys. Still have all my originals.

[@calebleland8390]

I am so jealous, brother. My folks couldn't afford to get me the vehicles as a kid, and I used to sit and watch my friends play with theirs. That TIE Fighter looks so awesome, and to find a Vader figure in there is amazing. Great grabs all around, Mike!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

I had a bunch as a kid I got for my 5th birthday that someone handed down to me. They were the best toys I had. I remember my Lando to kindergarten because all the other kids has GI Joe and Lando could pass as some normal dude and I wants to fit in. Fond memories.

[@paulharper9711]

I still have my 70’s Kenner Star Wars figures. I have the weapons too, but they are all in a sand which bag. My Luke Skywalker is missing his head too.

[@bnchile1]

love those 80's mini comics...i used to have some of those

[@bnchile1]

you have nice pickers at your auctions, I actually saw a guy almost wipe out a table as he was diving for an item he wanted before someone else got to it.... we got crazies

[@Paul_the_Bruh]

Great stuff! I never find SW toys in that good of condition when I'm hunting. I still have all of my figures and vehicles from childhood. That Tie Fighter is one that I never had but really want to add to my collection.

[@epochcatharsis129]

I seem to recall there was a rare Star Wars figure in the first release of the "Jawa". Apparently the first version included a cloth cloak which was soon after made of thin flexible plastic. I guess the cloth cloak Jawa likely in the box still is worth stupid money.

[@bnchile1]

the last library sale I hit up I hit the last day as well and got a grocery sack filled with dvd's and blu-rays and tv season sets for $5..... I did really well.

[@jamesschulziii9098]

Very nice. I do remember that 007 game although I never have played it. 👍💯

[@richardwestphal5184]

Look like some kids was biting the Vader light saber.

[@jesselynch1928]

Having gone to a lot of estate sales in the past, that kind of politeness is very rare. I have alwYs tried to be polite but when going through boxes I have had people reach over my shoulder and grab comics or whatever is in the box ahead of where I am in the box. Kind of like every person for themselves. Even had a guy jump over a bed to get ahead of me for something that was hanging on a wall (large vintage photo of a Guy on a Harley whic I was heading for). Yeah I have seen tug of wars over stuff. It can be the Wild West out there

[@lunchmoneycomics]

I consider myself quite lucky then!

[@Frankofsector2814]

Hi Mike, I do collect the old Kenner Star Wars toys myself but I don‘t have the x-Wing fighter,yet, because I am running out of space and don‘t know where to put it. I really like the Batman mini comic. At first I thought it belonged to the old Kenner Super Powers line.

[@BZackheim]

An episode of surprises. Love it. The mini comic is my favorite. I had a few back in the day.

[@louisquesada3433]

I love the thrill of the hunt! Thanks for the videos! 👍

[@9171drgn]

I just completed the collection of the 52 and it is very good story line.

[@gregwait3553]

The landspeeder was awesome! Condition is fabulous! Yes definitely show more toys and other cool stuff like the Dock Tracy book/comic! Keep on going Lunchmoney Mike! These videos are fun 2 watch! Plus you get a lot research on your videos!!! That makes your videos 10 times better!! Always a fan Greg!

[@ragingronin7142]

Love the episode and yes, I had all of those Star Wars toys and figures but they did not survive through my childhood. Would love to come across these at a yard sale or thrift store or in the wild just to have. Those and my original G.I. Joe figures. Kept my comics but the toys all went to my younger siblings and then who know where the ended up.... Of well.. Keep pumping out nice cool videos.

[@GoodysResale]

Awesome pickups those star wars toys and dick tracy comic are fantastic finds....I went to that estate Sale on the second day picked up a lot of cool stuff as well...its always awesome when I see you go to places I went or have been to...one of these days we will run into each other...great content and happy hunting 😀

[@briannichols9811]

Awesome finds love the Star Wars toys keeps the channel fresh with new things that you find! Keep up the Awesome work!

[@charliedogg7683]

Mike, you've solved a mystery for me (possibly). I have a minicomic of The X-Men from 1988, it reprints X-Men #53 from 1969 and I haven't been able to learn its origin. It too may have come from a serial box. Great lot of comics and toys Mike. But no mention of the Shakespeare book glimpsed on your library trolley? It looks old, is a hardcover and quite large, possibly a Collected Works? That is one book I would definitely buy to add to my Shakespeare collection.

[@lunchmoneycomics]

Haha yes I bought a stack of old books I didn’t talk about, just showed a glimpse for the book lovers That one wasn’t particularly old, just a beautiful leather cover

[@bdav1967]

Love the mini Batman comic and the Star Wars toys are a great find!

[@captainvideo3165]

Not sure if you would be interested, but Leominster is having a city wide yard sale on Saturday the 20th. I will have about 6 or 7 long boxes out. Plus toys and other geek stuff!! Come on by!

[@lunchmoneycomics]

That sounds amazing! But I think I’m going to be at a comic show on Connecticut the same day

[@jayogilvie8353]

Jake Jake Styles, my 007 character name.

[@richardvieth2094]

Pretty sure the toys were the star of the show! I remember playing with that landspeeder for hours! Great grabs!

[@jacyo3076]

The oldest kids in my Boy Scout Troop were playing the Bond rpg back in the 80s. We all started out on D&D, but somebody showed up with the Marvel rpg one camp out and that was all most of us played from that moment on.

[@whiterabbit75]

I used to have an X-Wing like that. I shake my head at how rough I used to be with my toys. The Dick Tracy was most likely a collection of the newspaper comics. Nice find on the RPG. Never played it, but for 50 cents? You did the right thing.

[@robertmonroejr1315]

That Magnus is a nice find. I really enjoyed those Valiant comics back in the day. It’s probably worth about $5.

[@technodestructo]

Good stuff i rescued a batman 200 1st neal adams on batman out of a dollar bin today.

[@lunchmoneycomics]

Very nice!

[@SamPMoore]

Keep up the great content. Love the channel

[@lunchmoneycomics]

Thank you!

[@dalemoyers8881]

I would like to start off by saying I love the content and I am a new subscriber now. I definitely grew up in the 70s and 80s and I also have my original Star Wars toys. You got a heck of a deal on those toys and figures. I definitely need to start going to more yard sales/estate sales over the summer. There are some local antique malls that I go to and find some comics at from time to time. Great job on your haul of stuff. 😎

[@Matt_Likes_Comics]

I can't believe you found that 007 RPG. That book fell apart so easily. The adventures are based on the movies but there is a change in Spectre due to copyright issues. Great game system. I had the Q Manual as well as 3 published adventures that we played to death.

[@lunchmoneycomics]

So happy to hear from people who played this, thanks so much for sharing!

[@bigwillcomics9968]

Double check me but i believe those 52 books are newsstand and if they are they are rare.

[@rupertpendergrass4014]

I had all the Star Wars toys as a kid, then I went into the military and my mother gave them to the neighbor's kid. I was so upset that I went to get them back and my mother got upset and told me that a man doesn't play with toys. I told her that I don't play with them, I collect them. She still made me give them back... I was so upset

[@lunchmoneycomics]

Ouch!

[@rupertpendergrass4014]

[@jarredsmith9187]

Lunch money comics,can you do a video showing your top 20 big key books and what holds your comics on the wall without falling?

[@lunchmoneycomics]

I use vinyl wall moulding for the wall books, and yeah I would like to do a top 10 or something when I have the chance

[@jarredsmith9187]

@@lunchmoneycomics a top 20 key books would be cool and you could talk a little about why you got them and stuff.

Great seeing the other stuff

[@l.greenemachine66]

If it's relateted to comics, movies, video games,toys or ALL 4 😊SHARE IT!

[@jadecasssie]

Those toys are super cool! Nice pick ups. Let us know when/if you resell!

[@alancarr7718]

Good evening Michael Ahh you have done it again. Brilliant content. One thing if you are selling coming to fund the collection. Don't pass over the Harveys or any Gold Key. There are Female fans and some Males as well that would do their donut on them! Great Toy content, How much were the Die cast cars. I am sorry but if you are going to show dual content you get twice the questions. Power on@ The Goldkeyfourcolorkidownunda

[@lunchmoneycomics]

Haha thanks for the advice on the gold keys. There are some things I would’ve picked up for less but I didn’t see the value at $1 for most. I don’t remember the prices on the diecast but I didn’t see anything really good in there

[@2ndbestbob28]

I know nothing about toys, but this was all very interesting. I'm wondering, though. Can you use parts of different toys to make up a whole one to sell? I know that ruins a comic book value, marring covers and centre folds etc. But what about with toys?

[@lunchmoneycomics]

I don’t know much about toys but I’m guessing it’s totally fine especially with accessories that aren’t attached. Gluing not as much.

[@wolverado1322]

Best part of the hunt is not knowing what you will come across that’s not on your comic radar….

[@Comiccomplter55]

Hey, Mike can we get a tour of you're mancave or can u change angles some time

[@lunchmoneycomics]

The internet can’t handle the mancave lol. I promise to do a tour sometime. Honestly the comics are the least interesting angle IMO

[@kevinbernatek7875]

I was planning on going to an estate sale on Tuesday….what should I expect? Cause there’s a bunch of toys I’m wanting and I know others are hunting for em, too…

[@lunchmoneycomics]

My advice is get there early and once inside discreetly ask someone working there where the toys are so you can get them quick

[@WolfPartyProductions]

Hey…is that a Darth Vader with a double telescoping lightsaber? It’s hard to tell from the video. But it looks like it and if it is, you just hit the jackpot sir.

[@lunchmoneycomics]

It is not, just has that little plastic nubbin

[@GrumpyColoradoDad]

I had every Star Wars figure from the first two movies, plus many vehicles and playsets. Sold them all many years ago on eBay. Huge regret.

[@WolfPartyProductions]

@@lunchmoneycomics too bad! I was watching on my phone, so I couldn’t see clearly and though you may have struck gold without realizing it.

[@noggincomics]

Read the entirety of 52 during the pandemic and it was really good. Loved the Batwoman issue. But those star war toys were awesome.

[@jimmyjams5488]

What do you ship comics in when selling on eBay?

[@lunchmoneycomics]

I use Gemini mailers

[@efegurkan81]

hello everyone, i will come to north conway new hampsire with work and travel program from turkey. i know that massachussets not that far from north conway so anyone know any comic shops or yard sales around there? I would be very grateful if anyone would like to give information 😅✌🏻

[@AerFromBattleCats900]

How do you find yard sales and estate sales with comics?

[@lunchmoneycomics]

I usually browse social media like Facebook yard sale groups, and search for “comics” but even then most of the time I’m just going to a ton of yard sales and hope to get lucky. I only show you guys the ones that have comics and not the 100 that don’t!

[@Giltord]

Pretty scummy of you to not sell them to the younger dude. Especially since you wanted to sell most of them. Big L bro....

[@lunchmoneycomics]

I never respond to comments like this but I have to here because you are clearly missing the context. One, I said in the video I was keeping the ones I didn’t already have, which are most of them. Two, the other guy was going to resell ALL OF THEM and he barely offered me more than I got them for. I have a well documented history, which you can confirm through my previous videos, of being extremely fair, honest, and generous with people, and this was a case where as much as I wanted to help the guy out I’m not going to go through all that work and walk away empty handed just so a flipper can make more money. As is, I gave up almost all those comic books to other people, including him. I didn’t have to do that either.
