was estimated to go for $500,000 – $1 million. The final price was $2,375,000, according to the auction house.for Red X-Wing Squadron Leader Garven Dreis, played by the late Drewe Henley.
The model is extraordinarily rare, as most were destroyed by pyrotechnics while filming the movie’s climax battle sequence at the Death Star.
I saw Star Wars in the third week of August 1977. I think it was on a Saturday.
*contemplates spending thousands on mint condition Avengers toys, models, and legos as an investment for the future*
Haha you should have spit that sea mammals milk into Rian Johnson's face and said No F'n way is this Luke Skywalker's legacy. Still love you though. BTW, any Jedi recommendations on removing the last trilogy from my mind?

planetmstudios Me & my friends got into Lucas’s dumpster in San Rafael before ILM was built, they were filming Indiana Jones mine exit scene in miniature on their lot. Found old pizza.
Look! It’s a real life NFT!
Would have gone for less than a million. But BIDENFLATION effects prices on all things …
I feel much better about dropping $300 on a lightsaber now
redlettermedia hopefully you take care of this one better than the Gremlin
Except not so little money 😂
Wow. I wish I had my own X-Wing
I wish the person who bought it the very best of luck with it ,its fantastic movie prop to have
Is that really astonishing? Is there anything cooler than that?
The exact model used in the SFX for the film. Woah
Wow
A comical waste of money for someone with too much money
Worth every penny IMO. I had two of ‘em.
GailSimone I bet a Y-Wing would have gotten more
donttrythis holy sh*t!!!! You were just fondling this!
Wow! I still have my Buzz Lightyear, in perfect condition. if anyone wants to purchase it let me know at half that price 💯 🤣🤣🤣
That's amazing. The original King Kong model only brought in 200 K at auction.
Nothing highlights the economic disparities in the world more quickly than someone spending $2.3M on a plastic model that they’ll then put on their desk.
Sad that more value is put on movie props, than real life humans, these days..
Lata chociaż?
