Instead, it went for a whopping $25,000.

It's a rare figurine from 1978, still in its original packaging, with the delicate lightsaber still intact.

The collection even contains cardboard packaging - without action figures- from 1982, labeled "Revenge of the Jedi."

That was the working name for the third movie, which was eventually scrapped in favor of "Return of the Jedi".
