Star Wars Monopoly
It is a real minefield trying to figure out which are worth having and which you should forget about.
We'll do our best to cover all the different editions and report on the current market values, where known (prices quoted in May 2009).
Monopoly Clone Wars edition
The most readily available and the cheapest, at just over $17 on Amazon and from $9.95 on eBay.
Star Wars Monopoly Limited Collector's edition
Billed as 1996 20th anniversary, this retails for $70 on Amazon, though you can get it cheaper in the Amazon aftermarket. As for eBay, $6.99 will get you a lightly used copy of this game.
Monopoly Star Wars Saga edition
$44 secures this edition from Amazon. Over on eBay, a near mint version is offered for just $9.99.
Star Wars Monopoly
WOW. $115 on Amazon! The aftermarket on Amazon does have new ones listed from $35. eBay listings offer this game from 99c!
Star Wars Classic Trilogy edition
Obviously aimed at people who shudder at the thought of Lucas and his Episodes I - III, the Classic Trilogy edition focuses on the first three movies (Episodes IV - VI). Amazon's new price is $55, although on the Amazon aftermarket they are available at under $20. Meanwhile on eBay, you'll find plenty available from $5 and up.
Star Wars Original Trilogy edition
(Did anybody say "Cash in"?) YET ANOTHER edition based on the first three movies from the 70s and 80s. New box and components. Amazon's new price is $90, though aftermarket sellers have them under $20, while on eBay, we found just one for sale at $5, with the next level being $15.
Star Wars Episode 1 edition
Obviously if you have the Episode 1 Collector's edition, you MUST buy the Episode 1 regular edition (ahem). If you're one of THOSE collectors who demand completion, well, the bad news is this edition costs $75 on Amazon (though you can get it for half that price on the aftermarket). $7.50 starts the bidding on eBay.
Star Wars Monopoly Saga edition in a tin
This is THE Monopoly Star Wars set to get. Comes with eight different collectible tokens and the tin, not to mention the highest price tag of the lot. $290 on Amazon! $140 on the aftermarket! NONE on eBay!
We hope that's cleared up the Monopoly Star Wars editions for you. We're just as confused as you, if that's any consolation... And there's bound to be others we haven't discovered yet, so please comment on this page with more information.
