star wars figurinesMore than 500 Star Wars collectibles, in fact, which will be auctioned by Duke’s Auctions in Dorchester, UK, on Thursday, July 2.

The sole collector hopes to net about £50,000 ($102,000) from the sale, which represents his work pulling it together over the past 15 years.

The vendor told local media it’s “as complete a collection as has ever been amassed”.

“I have endeavoured to find examples in as near to mint condition as possible, and I have always sought original packaging and good condition in all the items I have purchased.”

Highlights include a Jawa with original vinyl cape and Boba Fett with “rare rocket launcher attachment”, but there’s plenty of Millennium Falcons, R2-D2s, land speeders and TIE Fighters up for grabs.

Some, such as the Kenner sets based on the original trilogy, are expected to go for up to £800 apiece. Up to £450 is expected for a collection of 16 characters and their variants, including “Han Solo with small and big head” and “Lando Calrissian with white and uncoloured teeth”.

Others – namely, items from The Phantom Menace – might be lucky to sell at all.

But it’s an extraordinary single-owner collection. Here’s the top 15 items according to their expected price:
