If you want to find the exact point that action figures went from being children's toys to something far more culturally important, you needn't set the DeLorean any further back than 1979. It's true, that was the year that changed everything. Even though Kenner told you to "start your own collection of Star Wars action figures and space vehicles" in 1978, they boldly told us to "Collect All 21" in 1979. Granted, if Star Wars was the only reason that 1979 was so significant, there would only be Rebelscum and no Cool Toy Review.
Another exceptionally rare piece from 1979 has turned up on eBay, and it is down to the last two days. Follow this link to check out the MISB Mego Star Trek: The motion Picture U.S.S. Enterprise Bridge, and consider that when the loose one from our Photo Archive went up on eBay after shooting it, sold for over $700. What we are witnessing here is possibly the defining value for a sealed specimen. Make sure to check it out while you still can.
