UPDATE: Those estimates are likely too low. Based on the trends, expect to pay upwards of $500 for high-grade graded samples and half that for ungraded. As mentioned above, there are none available at the time of this review, and there haven’t been any offerings in a while. But if it really bothers you about not having a completed numbered series, you’ll need to hound Ebay. If you don’t own it, don’t worry about it. You may have noticed that the above figure is graded. Grading is the best way to protect these cards. A collection is only as good as its curation. There are no Star Cases for the mini-cards. Do you think people pay insane prices for real Glasslite Vlix figures because it’s a great figure? If you do own this figure, get it graded.

Hasbro pressed on the collecting nerve, and it worked.Īnother neat aspect about this figure is that it allows collectors to own a distinguishing piece.

This Salacious Crumb was first released in The 30th Anniversary Collection with the googly-eyed C-3PO, the re-released (and slightly repainted) in the SOTDS Jabba’s Throne set. I put review in quotes because there is no point in reviewing the figure. There hasn’t been a sample available on Ebay in months at the time of this “review”. I’ve included an Ebay link with this review, but it’s largely pointless. Of course, mere money isn’t the only issue. You either suffer the outrageous fortune of having a gap in your numbered carded collection, or you take up arms and spend a fortune to acquire this VC66 Salacious Crumb figure. He was clearly talking about the two mini-figures included in the SDCC ‘11 Death Star set that are part of the numbered sequence of the Vintage Collection.
