Could a toy that you own be worth lots of money in the future?

If you think so, then hold on to it - as an old Star Wars action figure of Boba Fett has just fetched a record $1.342 million (£1.04 million), making it the most expensive toy ever sold at an auction.

Only 100 of the toys were made of the famous bounty hunter, who made his original trilogy debut in 1980's Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.

Produced as a prototype by manufacturer Kenner in 1979, the figure didn't make it into production over fears that its firing rocket was a safety hazard, so the design of the toy was changed.

But it's not the only item from the famous films that have sold for lots of money. Here's a look at some more of the most expensive Star Wars collectibles ever sold...

The most expensive Star Wars "screen-used prop" to ever be auctioned was in 2023, when a lost model of an X-Wing starfighter was sold for $3.135m (£2.58m) after being found in a garage!

The prop featured in the very first Star Wars film released in 1977, now known as Episode IV: A New Hope. In the film, the ship leads a squadron of other X-Wing in an attack run on the deadly Death Star battle station.

The model was found in a cardboard box as part of a collection owned by movie model-maker Greg Jein.

Other Star Wars props in the collection included a Stormtrooper costume also from A New Hope which was sold for $645,000 (£530,728).

An iconic gold head-piece belonging to C-3PO, the famous droid from Star Wars, sold for $843,051 (over £642,000) in November 2023.

The head, which lights up, also appeared in the very first Star Wars film released in 1977 and belonged to the actor who played the character, Anthony Daniels.

A second head, also auctioned by the actor, sold in March this year.

After all, two C-3PO heads are better than one!

The force is strong with this one too!

In 2017, a complete R2-D2 droid, again from the very first Star Wars film sold for $2.76 million (£2.1m)

At the time the sale was the most expensive Star Wars memorabilia ever sold.

A 'Blaster' used by Han Solo in the film Return of the Jedi sold at auction in New York for $550,000 (£415,000).

The weapon was owned for more than 30 years by the film's art director James Schoppe.

Mr Schoppe was nominated for an Oscar for his work on the film.

A 1980's master model of Bib Fortuna, a male Twi'lek who lived on Tatooine and worked for Jabba the Hutt, sold for £36,000 at auction.

It was up for sale with a prototype of an Ewok called Logray, which went for £12,000, and an Emperor's royal guard which reached £28,800.

The prototypes were for figures from the Return of the Jedi - the third instalment in the original Star Wars trilogy.
