A new “Star Wars” record has been set. Just a few minutes ago, an X-Wing miniature, Red Leader to be precise, sold at auction for $1.9 million. With buyer’s premium included, the final price tag is actually $2.3 million! It was originally expected to sell for $500,000-$1,000,000. This is a screen matched piece, used in “Star Wars Episode IV- A New Hope” in 1977.
You can see the listing from Propstore here.
It now holds the record for the highest-value piece of memorabilia sold from the films.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
