When Star Wars launched, it helped usher in the era of the blockbuster. In the wake of the film, came the figures.
Forty years on from their launch, the original toys have now become highly sought after - some fetching a few hundred thousand dollars.
In this edition, we head to the largest toy fair in Europe dedicated to buying and selling Star Wars figures.
We look at how much the toys are now worth and speak to some of the super fans now buying them - and explore how big the market for the vintage figures is.
