Before you faint from shock, Star Wars collectors do have their reasons for this value. Only 30 of the figures were ever made back in 1978, and you could only own it by responding to a mail-in form. Most notably,this figure would be illegal to own today since the spring-loaded bullet it features would be considered a choking hazard. Forget choking, though — this toy is a marriage hazard!
