Rare, to me, would be my original vintage first 12 Darth vader with lightsaber but no tip, very heavilly played with. It is rare and precious to me because i still own this figure from when i was a toddler, it has seen better days but i could not replace it if lost. Sure there are many vintage vaders out there but i could not compare it to the one i have had for 30+ years. It is my favourite star wars toy, and started me on this circle of star wars collecting.
