Brand: Brian's Toys

Brian Semling was born in 1977, the same year Star Wars was released. Perhaps that explains why Semling—one of the foremost US authorities on vintage toy collecting—has such a knack for finding collectibles from the seminal series of films. He dove into the enterprise full bore in 1994, and over the last 17 years, he’s established himself as one of the best in the game. If you’re searching for that proverbial needle in the haystack, he’s the guy to help you find it.
