Star Wars Early Bird Mail-Away Kit
According to the auction press release: “It’s the world’s first action figure pre-order! The kit to pre-purchase four Star Wars action figures in 1977—and the figures you got in 1978—are reunited here in this ungraded set. Not only do you get R2, Chewy and Leia, you also get a Luke that has a double-bladed lightsaber!” Head to the auction page to bid by March 20 ($5,000-$7,000 is the estimate), and also to see all the documentation and ephemera that’s part of the lot, including the Sears bag carefully preserved by a forward-thinking 1970s collector.
