Vintage 1980s Star Wars action figure set
Description
I found a vintage Star Wars action figure set this morning around 11:30am in the Gaslamp Quarter, near Market Street and 4th Ave. It's a mint-in-box 1983 Kenner set, with the original red and blue card back and a clear blister showing the figures inside. The box has some edge wear, but the figures look pristine and untouched; packaging still carries that faint cardboard scent from the 80s. The set includes Luke Skywalker with a blue lightsaber and Princess Leia in her white outfit; one figure even has the original blaster tucked in the packaging. I figured a collector would want it back, so here I am—if this belongs to you, I’m happy to meet downtown near the Convention Center or coordinate via message.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
