Anyone miss the Star Wars Power of the Force 2 and Saga 2 figures in stores?

I don't know about the 12" figures, but you can find retail prices of 3 3/4", playsets, vehicles and so in the Photo Archive section of Rebelscum.

Thanks, Darkmatt. I'm probably being dense, but I couldn't find any prices in the Photo Archive section. Could you provide a sample link or what I'm looking for? Thanks again!

Here you go, for example, this is the PotF2 Darth Vader's TIE Fighter in the Hasbro photo archive

Rebelscum.com: Photo Archive

Just on the right of the first pic, you have the source (movie), the release year, and the retail price (US$19.99), plus assortment number and UPC...

Here is the direct link to the Hasbro photo archive, you can browse the different lines, and in the PotF2 section, you have Basic figures / Vehicles / Deluxe and so on :

Just a quick question, if you plan on donating, are your items still boxed and is this why you have to use the retail price ? Because I don't see how one could use retail prices on opened toys (even though some are worthy of something, but they still would be opened toys).

Thank you so much--that is exactly what I needed! Yes, they are all still boxed/on card, etc. I had donated probably 3/4 of my collection a few years ago, and then when I moved I found many more boxes in an unused room. So now they're off to be donated. (It's faster to donate them than sell them all, and the tax break is actually pretty close to amount I would get at current prices. Sad but true. I kept a few things that are still worth quite a bit according to ebay auctions, so I will sell those. Oddly, it's mostly the TPM stuff.)

You probably donated everything that was worth some money already. Power of the Force 2 and TPM stuff have little value outside of nostalgia.

You're welcome, and thanks for the explanation. Don't really know how donation works, moreover I'm in France, so it's probably completely different.

Good luck selling these items

Say what you want about this line but they had some great playsets. Wish the same could be said today

Also just wondering which Power of the Force 2 Yoda figure you think is the best one. The first one where it had the training backpack or the 2nd Yoda Dagobah figure where it came with a cooking pot, Luke's flashlight lamp thing, and his gimer stick. I think the first POTF2 Yoda figure is still nice looking since it reminds of the old Kenner Yoda figure

Personally, I prefer the first Yoda - red card. The Yoda with cooking pot and hair is nice, as is the Complete Galaxy Yoda with slightly darker paint.

After seeing this section in the forums, I made my own Top 5 of the figures from the POTF2 era:

I wasn't actively collecting Star Wars figures when the POTF2 line was in stores, but I do remember walking into stores such as Bradlees, Caldoors, and Toy Works back in the day and being happy to see that Star Wars figures were so readily available for those who wanted to collect them. I had collected some loose vintage figures I would buy at the local flea market from a vendor and I wanted to start buying POTF2 figures but I was a teen with not much money to spare and decided to hold off until I made a good salary and then I'd go back and get them (which I did). I did buy a Vader and a Luke back in 1996 though, I opened them and posed them on a bookcase back then, a year or so later I tossed them out for whatever reason but I got them all mint in their packaging now resting nicely on my walls on display.

I do admit, I miss seeing these carded figures in stores quite a bit and I wish I was actively buying them back then because I would have totally made weekly runs to the store to grab these, unfortunately the money I had back then went toward dates, bowling with friends, and other hobbies such as comic books.
