YORK, PA.- The Jeff Jacob Collection continued its march into the history books on February 4, 2026 as Hake’s auctioned Part IV of the Colorado-based consignor’s phenomenal trove of Star Wars, GI Joe and other rare and sought-after toys. Chalking up $844,000, the latest offering boosted the series subtotal so far to a heady $4.4 million, with the fifth and final installment of action figures from the stellar collection set to cross the auction block later this year.

The February 4 event was led by a daunting Kenner Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983) AT-AT Imperial All Terrain Armored Transport Vehicle, AFA 85 NM+, with its original pictorial box touting the contents as “One Large Vehicle With Articulated Legs, Opening Side Entrance, Remotely Operated Pulsating, Flashing Laser Cannons And A Head Which Moves Up And Down And Side To Side Via A Lever.” At the time of cataloging, it was confirmed to be one of only eight examples in an AFA 85 grade, per the current AFA Population Report, with none graded higher. It ambled its way to a jaw-dropping $50,762 against a pre-sale estimate of $4,000-$8,000.



A lot consisting of 114 Star Wars action figures produced from 1977-1985 represented the 92 figures Kenner produced for their Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi, and The Power Of The Force toylines, with the addition of some variants and two figures by Lili Ledy (Mexico). Each loose figure was encapsulated and individually graded by AFA. It was the first time a complete set of this type had ever come to auction, a fact that was not missed by collectors, who bid the assemblage to a hefty $48,871 against an estimate of $25,000-$35,000.



A Palitoy Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1984) Boba Fett tri-logo 70 Back (Parker) displayed text in three languages (English, Spanish and French) and was AFA-graded 75 Ex+/NM (light blue/unpainted knee/Clipper mini-catalog). At the time of cataloging, it was one of only two examples graded by AFA, according to current AFA Population Report, and was also the single highest-graded example. It flew past its $5,000-$10,000 estimate to land at $38,137.

Two fantastic Kenner spacecraft that would have fueled children’s imaginations in the early 1980s easily exceeded their estimates. A 1980 Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Millennium Falcon Spaceship, one of the top pieces in the Empire Strikes Back range, was graded AFA 85 NM+. Unheard of in this condition, with no example of its type and grade ever having appeared before in a Hake’s auction, it was one of only two graded 85 NM+, per the current AFA Population Report. Against an estimate of $10,000-$20,000, it rose to a final auction price of $25,076.



The second of the two elite Kenner spaceship lots was Boba Fett’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1981) Slave I craft. As described on its box, its features and accessories included “Gravity Operated Wings, Removable Slide, Clicking Cannons, Opening Rear Ramp, Movable Seat and Simulated Frozen Han Solo.” A coveted toy, both at the time of its release and in today’s collector marketplace, it was AFA-graded Uncirculated U85 NM+, with only three toys of its type ever having been given a higher grade, per the current AFA Population Report. Estimated at $5,000-$10,000, it sold for $19,567.



Produced exclusively in Mexico, a Lili Ledy Star Wars: Return of the Jedi/La Guerra De Las Galaxias: El Regreso Del Jedi (1983) Han Solo (Bespin outfit), 30 Back, AFA 75 EX+/NM, was one of only four examples in total to have been graded by AFA. The current AFA Population Report notes that there is only one in an AFA 75 grade and just one in a higher grade. It more than doubled its high estimate, achieving $11,858.



A rare Palitoy (for UK release) Star Wars (1978) Death Star cardboard playset was specifically designed to suit the scale of “authentic Star Wars action figures.” It was graded AFA Qualified 75 Q-EX+/NM. At the time of cataloging, the AFA Population Report indicated that only five examples of this toy had ever been graded, with only three examples in an AFA 75 grade (single Qualified, two higher). It finished above its high estimate, earning $10,038.



Manufactured by Kenner in 1980, a Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back department store 10-pack mailer, CAS 80 (light blue text), contained a J C Penney assortment No. 39312. Its contents included 10 sealed ESB-c baggies that secured 2-inch to 4.5-inch-tall action figures such as Yoda (orange snake), FX-7, Luke Skywalker (Bespin outfit), Leia Organa (Bespin gown) and more; plus a Kenner catalog booklet. This lot sold for $8,908 against an estimate of $2,000-$5,000.



Also fetching an excellent price was a Kenner Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1981) Imperial Cruiser, AFA-graded 85 NM+. The box described its contents as “One Vehicle With Opening Doors, Rotating Radar Dish and Laser Cannon, 6 Side Compartments, Weapons Storage Bin and Large Prisoner Compartment.” At the time of cataloging, only five examples in an AFA 85 grade were shown in the AFA Population Report, with graded higher. Against a $1,000-$2,000 estimate, it went to its new owner for $7,919.



Among the Hasbro GI Joe highlights was a 1983 encapsulated case with a sealed baggie containing a 3.75-inch-tall action figure of Duke (First Sergeant, with “holed” helmet) in a Duke mailer box, graded AFA 80 NM. It was complete with a “GI Joe To The Rescue” booklet and a “Manta Marine Assault Nautical Transport: Air Driven” mail-away offer. At the time of cataloging, it was the only AFA-graded example, per to current AFA Population Report. It sold for $3,944, more than four times its high estimate.
