ENGLAND: A rare Star Wars toy has sold for £26,040 (€30,950) as part of a large private collection that has gone under the hammer.

The Boba Fett figure, from the late 1970s, is still sealed in its original box and is one of around 700 items the seller has put on sale.

The entire lot, which was amassed over 40 years from around the world, is expected to bring in around £500,000.
