Star Wars Escape from Order 66 Figure Pack
Star Wars: The Vintage Collection - Escape from Order 66 set includes 3.75-inch scale figures of Clone Wars-favourite Ahsoka Tano in her Siege of Mandalore outfit (including lightsaber accessories), along with three droids: R7-A7, CH-33P (Cheep) and RG-G1 (G-G).
The Escape from Order 66 set comes in retro-style packing, with all four card fronts visible. Calling back to the original 1970s and 1980s vintage toys, each figure features Kenner branding and package design with a VC Number for collectability.

What is Order 66 in Star Wars?
Order 66 was a secret command by Palpatine (Darth Sidious) turning the clone army against the Jedi, marking the near extinction of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Galactic Empire. As seen in the Clone Wars animated series, after the Order 66 Jedi purge was enacted, Clone Captain Rex turned on his friend and former Jedi Ahsoka Tano – but with the help of a few brave droids, Ahsoka removed Clone Captain Rex’s inhibitor chip just in time, and in doing so freed him from Palpatine's command.
The Escape from Order 66 set is therefore essentially inspired by one of the most pivotal moments in the history of the Star Wars Universe.

How much is my Star Wars toy collection worth?
Not only did the original Star Wars figures set the standard for the movie memorabilia we know and appreciate today, they've proven to be incredibly collectable over the years and fetch prices into the thousands for a particularly rare figure. The Kenner Boba Fett with Rocket Launcher from 1980, for example, is said to be worth up to a staggering £22,000 due to it being pulled from production and replaced with an alternative model.
