1983 Millennium Falcon Appraisal

Vintage 1983 Kenner Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Millennium Falcon Vehicle in Original Box

This is a vintage large-scale Millennium Falcon toy vehicle, manufactured by Kenner (with a Palitoy/European market 'Jason' sticker visible) released circa 1983 to coincide with the film 'Return of the Jedi.' The item is housed in its original cardboard retail packaging, which features the iconic film logo in the upper left corner and a vibrant product photograph showcasing the ship's interior play features and compatibility with 3.75-inch action figures. The box is constructed of printed heavy-duty cardstock and includes a distinctive yellow sunburst callout highlighting the 'new battle sound' feature. Physical condition of the packaging is heavily worn; there is significant creasing, edge wear, corner crushing, and visible remnants of clear adhesive tape on the left and right sides. There is a notable tear and paper loss on the upper right edge and across the bottom flap. The manufacturer's branding, though partially obscured, represents the high-quality plastic molding typical of the early 1980s Star Wars line. Despite the outer box damage, the internal contents are described as working, suggesting the electronic light and sound mechanisms are functional, which is a key value indicator for collectors of this era.
