Luke Skywalker Action Figure
Another Star Wars reference, oh no! Can we just take a moment to talk about how terrible this action figure is? In real life, I would have never thought it was Luke or Mark Hamill, to put it mildly. Hamill has played Luke Skywalker since the original Star Wars films were released, and he is unquestionably iconic in the Star Wars universe. But… what the hell is going on with that figure’s hairstyle? Why does his visage have a strange resemblance to He- Man’s? Did no one notice this when the figure was first displayed? Although it has a… dubious image, this is a figurine that a lot of children have grown up with. For example, if you have it sitting around in mint condition with the original packaging still intact, you may expect to sell it for upwards of $25,000.
Original Monopoly Board
I don’t get to play Monopoly very often since no one seems to think it’s very entertaining – and to be fair to them, it wasn’t really designed to be entertaining, but rather to be strategic. However, although the board game was first published in 1935 by Parker Brothers, it was actually inspired by a game from 1903 called “The Landlord’s Game.” The Landlords Game was designed to be a teaching tool for economics, taxation, and capitalism, therefore it was rather unfun. If you still have the original board from 1935 with all of the pieces, you’re in for a treat. One such item recently sold at auction for more than $146,000. You could probably buy Park Place if you had that kind of cash on hand.
