A STAR Wars superfan who made £15,000 selling a single Boba Fett figure is auctioning off another 15 rare items from his collection.

Craig Stevens, 45, clenched his fists with joy when the pristine, unopened bounty hunter toy was sold at auction house Vectis last month.

He will return to the sale room in Thornaby, Teesside, to witness the sale of the remaining items, which have an estimate of £28,000 to £42,000.

The most highly valued item this time is a Palitoy FX-7 medical droid from The Empire Strikes Back. A similar item sold last year for £8,400 including commission.

Should bidding prove popular, the auction could make close to £100,000 from the total sales as he sold other figures from his massive collection last month.

The £18,000 paid for the Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett figure - £3,000 of which was commission - was all the more remarkable as the toy retailed for just £1.50 in 1980.

Mr Stevens said last month that the money raised was going towards a house for him and his wife Karen.

He said: "I'm living in a rented flat in my home town. You think to yourself 'I'm in a flat and I have got a box of figures worth as much as a house'.

"There's no contest really."

Mr Stevens, former chairman of the UK Star Wars fan club, still has 10,000 items in his collection of Star Wars memorabilia.

A Vectis spokesman said: "Interestingly, the £18,000 figure achieved for the Boba Fett in the January sale would have been sufficient to pay Harrison Ford for his role as Han Solo in A New Hope, with enough left over for Chewbacca or Darth Vader!

"Should the sale reach the £100,000 anticipated estimate, it would equal the fee paid for the score and music for the film."
