First edition Star Wars action figure set in display case
Description
I lost my first edition Star Wars action figure set in a blue acrylic display case yesterday around 3pm near the Main Street Market in downtown Lynchburg. It's a Kenner set from the early 1980s, still on its original blister cards and housed in a small blue acrylic display case with a white label reading 'Kenner 1977 Star Wars' on the bottom. One figure has a detachable cape and a few figures have slightly bent knees from years of play. The display case has a tiny dent on the upper-left corner. This set was a gift from my dad and means the world to me; I’m really hoping it turns up nearby. If you saw something like this around the Main Street Market, near the old courthouse on Church Street, please tell me.

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.
