Considering how valuable some Star Wars collectibles are — both in terms of money, and in terms of nerd-rep — it’s surprising to me that more people aren’t flocking to a mythical landfill in Coalville, England, and dumpster-diving for what legend has it is a Star Wars figurine goldmine. Sure, it’s a myth mostly propagated by the same people who think the Millennium Falcon is real, but it might be worth it to see if there’s more than Imperial credits in dem der trash hills.
