more than 75,000 unique Star Wars collectibles
illustrated with over 36,000 photos.
After half a decade of research, Gus Lopez and Duncan Jenkins have created the largest Star Wars price guide ever assembled. This guide will serve the beginner and seasoned collector alike with 56 extensive chapters that span every category of collectible. Every Star Wars item from 1977 to present is covered with information about the licensee, country, film, and current secondary market price. This is a truly international guide with approximately 100 different countries represented. Items are indexed by category and licensee, and this guide is the first Star Wars collectibles book to offer a complete licensee index with page references. Each chapter gives an in-depth background on every category of collectible and specifics such as grading, storage, preservation, holy grails, humorous items, and where to locate them. Gus and Duncan's Comprehensive Guide to Star Wars Collectibles is an essential volume on every Star Wars collector's bookshelf.
984-page hardcover with ribbon bookmark, featuring full-color photographs throughout
By Duncan Jenkins and Gus Lopez
Duncan Jenkins started collecting Star Wars in the summer of 1977
and created his first database of Star Wars items at the same time. As
one of the last remaining completists, he has amassed one of the largest
private collections of Star Wars memorabilia in the world. Duncan has
shared his extensive knowledge of collecting in presentations at all
four US Celebrations, Celebration Europe, Celebration Japan, and at
various conventions throughout the world. He is an editor for The Star
Wars Collector's Archive (theswca.com) and contributor to numerous
magazine articles, books, and TV/Radio programs.
Gus Lopez is a longtime Star Wars collector whose primary collecting
interests include Star Wars cast and crew items, movie props,
unproduced toys, cereal boxes, and awards. Gus has written many
articles on Star Wars collecting for various publications over the years
including Star Wars Insider, Lee's Toy Review, Toy Shop, Star Wars
Galaxy Collector, and the Star Wars Celebration programs. Gus created
The Star Wars Collector's Archive (theswca.com) in 1994—the first
Star Wars collecting website on the Internet. He has given talks on Star
Wars collecting at many toy, sci fi, and Star Wars conventions in Europe,
Asia, and North America. Gus ran the Star Wars collecting tracks for
the four Star Wars Celebration events in the US, Celebration Europe in
the UK, and Celebration Japan.

So Vick and Lisa - what percentage of this book do you guys own?

I don't know about anyone else, but if I had $65 to spend and was a Star Wars collector, I'd spend it on some action figures. Not on a book telling me how much my action figures are worth. Maybe I just don't have the collector's mindset, though.

Not really sure. Perhaps 40-50% or so? I never really tried to compare our collection versus any list. Perhaps the best answer is, more than any sane mortal should have? :)

Yep, you are officially not a collector. :)

Strong in this one, The Force is.
Around the editorial pit, a sense of purpose, she must create.
GM West End Games Star Wars scenario, I wish she would.

They didn't actually put their own book in the book did they?
If so, then I really don't understand you collector people.

This book excites me! Can't wait for my pre-order to ship! Is there an actual release date set, or are we still going with some point in January 2009?

The printer's latest update says we should have it in mid-January.

I'm randomly wondering if this book is thick enough to serve as a proper home-defense weapon. The Force tells me yes. The Force is also telling me to buy this book...amongst others.

The Force Dot Net says that this book is available "now". Is this true? Are pre-orders shipping?

We are taking preorders, so I guess that means it is available to order. But the book won't be coming in until the second half of January and thus won't ship until then.

Are all pre-orders guaranteed a copy of the book?

Yes. We have plenty to cover preorders. One other thing is that Gus and Duncan are going to be signing books on Friday and we plan to ship out autographed copies to everybody who preorders. Pretty sweet, huh? :)

Autographed copies? That's total hotness! Now I really can't wait to get my copy! They're signing this Friday? Meaning, the book is shipping soon?

Yep. Assuming nothing crops up, we'll begin shipping on Monday.

That's great news. I've been checking back so often for updates on the book waiting as patiently as possible for it to ship.

Is it okay if I ask you a some questions as a collector, and completely off topic? I am trying to locate the posters that have been released from Hasbro that are basically checklists of the action figures for each series.
Can you tell me, where the best place to track some of these posters/checklists down is (other than EBay)? I know that a few were convention exclusives, but I'm not sure which ones, or how the rest were released. Were they store promos, or packed in with the toys (if so, which ones)? Also, do you know if the following action figure checklists/posters even exist; Episode I, Original Trilogy Collection, The Clone Wars (both series)and Star Tours?
I know this is probably the worst place for me to be asking this type of question, but I'm really looking for someone with expertese on this subject as I'm having a heck of a time tracking some of these down.
This question is open to anyone who can help me, or point me to someone who could help me. My direct e-mail is okrecords1138@yahoo.com. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Again, sorry for posting here. Just looking for leads.

Although I grew up with a lot of withouts, when Star Wars came out everyone I knew somehow inexplicably found a way to get Star Wars merchandise to me. I was the richest poor kid on the block that year.
When the first movie came out in '77 I was a part of the Early Bird club that got the pre-release of the first four action figures. I had every figure, every vehicle and setting (Cantina, Death Star etc...), every art collection, every collectible card, every SW comic from #2-#46 (No... no number one <sniff>), a zillion black and white photo stills and poster for my walls, jigsaw puzzles, stuffed animal R2-D2 and Chewie, all of the McDonald's collector's glasses and some SW plastic cups, bowls and lunchbox, even (still have)the R2-D2 cookie jar that Lucas said something to the effect of, "When I saw the R2-D2 cookie jar, I realized just how big it all was."
I had Star Wars towels and bedsheets and my grandmother bought an extra pair of those sheets to make curtains for my windows. My mother painted the wooden furniture in my room blue to match them.
I have a picture of me as Luke Skywalker at Halloween, age 9, swinging around a crimson light saber a special effects guy made for me. It came out before that mass produced red flashlight version.
Back then, Star Wars was magic... the same feeling I got from D&D.
