I think the seller is a regular on here - maybe he can explain ?
Yep thats mine.
It's a minty white Top Toys Stormie that graded AFA85 until I busted it out of the case. My Top Toys Chief Chirpa just sold for £80 within an hour. I am confident that it will sell for more than £80.
How many other Top Toys figures are on ebay? I can only see 1 MOC with starting price of around £140 and the figure is yellow.

no peg holes, smaller ..... greatest loose variant foreign line IMO (apart from Takara)
Oops replied to wrong post...
The top toys stormtrooper is from Argentina and distinguished from the Kenner version by being slightly smaller in size. It has rough mould marks around outside of limbs and torso and has circles on the backs of the elbows where the liquid plastic was injected into the mould. There are no peg holes and no date or coo markings. The blaster is also moulded very differently and is almost flat and angled with a circle on the clip.
Half of one hip is unpainted. Which is just a factory error, otherwise its perfect, which is rare for these due to the poor production / quality standards of Top Toys. A lot of carded figures are dicoloured.
The guy I bought this from had it graded U85. I removed from the case when i bought it off him.
I believe Adam has sold off his Top Toys collection - his was one of the nicest I've seen The Yoda and Luke Jedi are Super rare and almost impossible to get hold of.

The stormtrooper and vader are the mos common. I bought both mine carded years ago for around $150.
mate, years ago you could have bought them for a few pound (or peso rather)
For MOCs your right, Stromtrooper and Vader are the easiest. But I wouldn't call any of them "easy" to find.
Loose I personally find Chief Chirpa a lot easier to come by than Stromtrooper and Vader.
IMO, order of rarity (loose) is:
Chief Chirpa
Stormtrooper
Darth Vader
Chewbacca
Logray
Yoda
Luke Skywalker (Jedi)
