Rare Vintage X-Wing from Original Star Wars Trilogy Up for Auction, Only Costs a Small Fortune
In a world where people’s savings are towering high and their wallets are overflowing with cash, collectors are jumping out of their seats to bid on a recently discovered vintage X-wing fighter used in the original Star Wars from 1977. According to sources, the model, which has been lost for ages, has recently resurfaced and is now being auctioned with an opening bid of a measly $400,000.
Crafted by George Lucas himself, this life-sized fighter model can hardly be called a “colossal waste of money”. It is a masterpiece carefully crafted from the finest materials like rare diamonds and golden ribbons weaved by unicorns. It is a piece of history that can bring Star Wars buffs closer to their favorite movie franchise by making them experience it from the eyes of a Resistance pilot.
One can only imagine the joy of flying this baby around the backyard, shooting imaginary enemies with the laser canons, all while happily ignoring the fact that they may have just emptied their bank account in the process. The buyer may also get a chance to show off their wealth by placing this collectible in a glass case, right beside their ivory-towered Schadenfreude that was purchased equally.
While some may argue that the fact that people are willing to spend big bucks on movie memorabilia simply boggles the mind, it’s important to consider the emotional attachment that people may have with the Star Wars universe. Sure, the same enjoyment could have been experienced with a simple $20 t-shirt, but where’s the fun in that?
The path to the Dark Side is often paved with good intentions, but in this case, it’s paved with a heavy wallet. But hey, who’s to stop anyone from spending their money on things that bring them joy? It’s not like there are any humanitarian crises in the world that could use an extra $400,000 right now.
Regardless of whether you’re a Han Solo or a Princess Leia fan, or just a lover of art and history, this X-wing model is an investment that will definitely not lose its value in the years to come. And when they inevitably remake Star Wars 47 and introduce shiny new spaceships, maybe this X-wing will still be worth $400,000.
So if you’re in the mood to throw all your life savings away and brag about it to your friends and family, head over to the nearest auctioneer and put in your bid for the X-wing model that’s guaranteed to make you the talk of the town. Just make sure you have plenty of toilet paper lying around, because after this indulgence you won’t be able to afford basic necessities. Happy bidding!
