Early Bird Certificate Package (1977)
Cost: Until $9,000
If you’re a true toy fan, you know exactly what this is and why it was nifty. Due to the lack of time between the time the deal was made and the film’s release, there were no toys ready for Christmas 1977. Kenner did not want to lose sales and, more importantly, disappoint children, so you came up with a promise of toys in the new year with the purchase of a certified package. Nostalgia runs high for this one, and finding one complete and in good condition increases the price.
