VIDEO: Sneak peek first look at May The Toys Be With You - Star Wars exhibition at Experience Barnsley

There's a box of toys worth £10,000, some individual items valued at hundreds of pounds...and others, just a few pence each.

But curator and collection owner Matt Fox believes it will inspire visitors to go check their attics, garages and drawers for super rare Star Wars toys like a Boba Fett figure which sold last year for $85,000.

Stormtroopers, Darth Vader and a TIE Fighter Pilot - members of the UK Garrison cosplay team - will be on parade for 'selfies' at the launch, at Experience Barnsley, inside the iconic Town Hall, on Saturday, April 21.

Matt Fox, owner of the incredible collection, will reveal how it came about, what his most treasured object is and the rarest item, with two special talks at 11am then 12 noon inside the Council Chambers. He says: "Why not a Star Wars toys exhibition in Barnsley?

"These toys have been collected by fans all over the world and there's such a huge interest in the film franchise. It will bring back a lot of memories for people who remember having some of these toys. But we've also got original posters, even two life size Stormtroopers."

Family activities also include the chance for young fans to dress up as a Jedi and wield a lightsaber.

May The Toys Be With You is free to enter and runs until Saturday, July 15.

But Barnsley Council organisers are anticipating such a huge interest in the opening weekend they have made it a tickets only first two days, with additional tickets required to attend the talks.

Matt Gladstone, Barnsley Council's Executive Director Place, heading up economic regeneration and culture, said the exhibition is a showcase of designs which have fired imaginations and stamped their place on the cultural landscape.

It i set to attract visitors from beyond the borough to view what is a celebration of the now highly collectable vintage toys and also of the iconic design work and art of the Star Wars movies.
