So I'm either doing some canny, mainly eBay related budget buying or common loose figures are coming down in price.
Either way the 20 complete figures you see here (ignore Yoda and R2) came in at an average price of £14.25 each including postage.
That's a total saving of £55 against the average price on Star Wars tracker for the last 12 months (nearly 3 quid a figure cheaper) and as you can see they're not exactly beaters either :D

I am feeling there is a reduction in prices, another indicator here?

Things do seem to be slow at the moment, I have some complete ones on Ebay at the moment and some have no bids even at a tenner.

Most of mine were under a tenner, the average is dragged up by Luke, Stormy, Jawa, AT-ST Driver and Fett.

Very nice collection, look forward to seeing your collection grow. Hopefully prices will come down even more.

Nice one. I've always thought you can still buy well over half of the first 77 figures for around the £10 mark, that hasn't really changed for 20+ years. The difference is that figures like Luke and Leia have gone from £20 to £50+ which as you say brings up the overall average.

Virtually my entire loose collection are 'beaters' I bought in bulk lots for £1-2 each, coupled with accessories I bought for under £10 each, so my collection is probably in the same ballpark as yours.

Cheers Edd - You're right, if the Jawa, AT-ST Driver, Luke and a couple of others were still at 2014 prices then the average would be down to £11 a figure. It remains to be seen how many more I can get for sub £10 but I'm in no rush

For the geeks amongst you here are the stats on my spreadsheet, don't forget these prices all include any shipping costs incurred.
