Vintage Star Wars action figure set (Kenner, 1983)
Description
I lost my vintage Star Wars action figure set from the early '80s yesterday around 5:15pm. It's two figures—Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia—on blue Empire Strikes Back cards, both in decent shape with minor yellowing and Leia's bubble showing a small crack. They were inside a clear acrylic display case I keep on my bookshelf, and the bottom of the card reads 'Kenner 1983.' I was walking along Main Street in La Crosse near Riverside Park, by the Pump House Regional Arts Center, and I’m hoping someone picked them up and might know where they went. These mean a lot to me—we're talking gifts from my dad, and I’d be really grateful to get them back.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
