Star Wars Clone Wars Figures Price Guide: The Card Never Set the Price

Hasbro ran The Clone Wars as its own 3.75-inch line from 2008 to 2013, across five packaging designs: blue-and-white (2008), red-and-white (2009), blue-and-black (2010-11), the Darth Maul card (2012), and the Yoda card (2013). FigurePinner has sold-comp data on 242 of 270 releases, 206 with five or more sales. Sort the figures by era and the medians barely move: $20.00, $22.00, $21.99, $19.99, $23.00. Sort the vehicles and they move more, though not in the order the packaging story predicts. A few spots in our own matching still can’t be trusted, and they’re flagged below rather than smoothed over.

The eras don’t split the figures

Median of release medians, figures only, n≥5 sold: blue-and-white $20.00 across 23 releases, red-and-white $22.00 across 38, blue-and-black $21.99 across 48, Darth Maul card $19.99 across 15, Yoda card $23.00 across 8. A $3 spread across six years of production. Our own catalog copy calls the 2008 blue-and-white card a "highly sought early release." The comps do not back that up, and we are correcting the copy, not defending it. General Grievous tops that card at $29.99 across 50 sold; Commander Fox ties him on just 8 sales. 2008 Anakin Skywalker sits at $15 across 49. The floor is flat everywhere: Yoda on the 2008 card is $10 across 49, red-card R2-D2 is $10.99 across 45, Count Dooku is $14.99 across 48, Chewbacca is $15 on two separate cards. Condition mix could skew any one number; the pattern repeating across all five eras is what makes it real.

Six releases clear $40. Three are actually named clones.

• Seripas (blue-and-black): $64.99 median across 31 sold, top $99.99. Not a trooper: Hasbro’s own catalog text lists it as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. Top price in the line among releases with a reliable sample; two thinner ones (Clone Commander Jet, $96.75 on 4 sales; Riot Control Clone Trooper, $84.99 on 3) run higher but miss our five-sale bar.
• Clone Trooper Draa (blue-and-black): $54.99 across 37 sold.
• Firefighter Droid (red-and-white, 2009): $51.61 across 9 sold. A droid, not a clone.
• Clone Trooper Jek (red-and-white, 2009): $44.99 across 15 sold.
• Stealth Ops Clone Trooper (blue-and-black): $42.49 across 33 sold, top $125. A role designation, not a personal name.
• Clone Trooper Echo (red-and-white, 2009): $40 across 50 sold, top $149.

Draa, Jek and Echo are the real named-clone-trooper premium: three individual soldiers with call signs, at or above $40, each with one release. Captain Rex tells the opposite story. He has nine distinct catalog releases, eight with a five-sale-or-better sample. Five of those eight form two matched pooled groups at $27.49 across 50 sold apiece: a red-and-white pair and a blue-and-black trio, each internally identical on every field. The Yoda-card release also prices at $27.49 across 50 sold but matches neither group on average sale, so it’s a separate, uncorroborated release. The other two are distinct: plain blue-and-white Rex at $27.95 and the blue-and-white Mailaway Rex at $25.34, both across 50 sold. Hasbro’s most reissued clone sits between $25.34 and $27.95 no matter which of nine cards he’s on; its one-off soldiers are the ones that moved.

The vehicles don’t care about the card either

Median of release medians, vehicles only, n≥5 sold: blue-and-white $65.32 across 18 releases, blue-and-black $64.17 across 18, Darth Maul card $59.97 across 10, red-and-white $52.50 across 22 (two conflicting Ahsoka rows dropped; more below). (The Yoda card has only 4 vehicle releases at a reliable sample, too thin to rank.) Roughly a $13 gap between the cheapest and priciest era median: real, but nowhere near the "boxes got thrown away" story the packaging alone suggests. What separates a $50 vehicle from a $450 one here is which vehicle it is and whether a retailer locked it up, not the year on the card.

• Republic Fighter Tank has four cataloged releases: $77.95 across 30 sold (red-and-white), $65 across 42 (Darth Maul card), $60.95 across 50 (blue-and-black), $60 across 40 (Yoda card).
• Vulture Droid has three: $69.69 across 25 (blue-and-white), $64.99 across 33 (blue-and-black), $59.99 across 50 (red-and-white).
• MagnaGuard Fighter has two: $85.99 across 18 (blue-and-white), $74.95 across 24 (red-and-white).
• The Trade Federation AAT has four across two unmerged catalog spellings: $60.95 across 50 (blue-and-white), $55 across 50 (red-and-white), $69.99 across 50 (blue-and-black), $50 across 50 (Darth Maul card).
• AT-TE has two, nearly identical: the Costco release at $100.99 across 50, the standard release at $99 across 50.

The single most expensive vehicle in the catalog shares Seripas’s catalog quirk: no retailer-exclusive field is set, but its own catalog copy calls the Separatist Droid Gunship (blue-and-black) an SDCC exclusive too. It sits at $449.99 across 7 sold, top sale $469.99. The next-highest vehicle at a reliable sample, the Naboo Starfighter on the Darth Maul card ($249.99 across 10 sold), is exactly $200 behind it, and its catalog copy makes no exclusivity claim. We can’t explain that gap from this data: seven and ten sales are thin samples, and nothing in the catalog records print runs or case counts.

Where a retailer tag does show up, it moves in both directions. The ARC-170 Fighter is a Target exclusive on both of its releases, and the price still splits by era: $189.95 across 24 (blue-and-white) against $140 across 50 (red-and-white). The AT-RT with ARF Trooper is a Walmart exclusive at $59.95 across 30, against a plain ARF Trooper around $21 to $22 on its own two cards, a real premium. That is consistent with Hasbro treating some retailer decos as short allocations rather than mainline stock, but that reading is inference from a price gap, not something the catalog records directly.

Exclusivity is not automatic money, though. The Walmart-exclusive Republic Gunship (blue-and-white) is $233.10 across 48 sold, top $944.99, more than three times the open-retail red-and-white Republic Gunship at $75 across 50. But the Walmart-exclusive 501st Legion Clone Trooper single figure sits at exactly $20 across 50 sold, in line with most other blue-and-white main-cast figures on that card, not the outlier its retailer tag might suggest. Of the vehicle and figure compared here, only the vehicle carries a premium. We have no explanation for why one retailer lock moved the price and the other did not.

Where the matching can’t be trusted

Our matching pools some variants into one snapshot on this line; every case is flagged here, not quoted as separate prices. Beyond Captain Rex: three Obi-Wan Kenobi variants share $18.97 across 48; two Clone Trooper variants share $24.99 across 50; two Kit Fisto variants and two ARF Trooper variants each share a number too. Separately, Ahsoka Tano’s Jedi Starfighter appears twice under two spellings of one release_wave key: $99.99 across 36 sold on one row, $20 across 6 on the other. We cannot tell which is real, so neither is quoted, and both are dropped from the red-and-white era number above. Twenty-eight of 270 releases have no comp, and 205 have no year, which is why this page runs on packaging era instead of the calendar.

A carded main-cast figure is a $19.99-to-$23 name no matter what a “rare 2008 first wave” listing claims about it. Draa, Jek, Echo, Seripas, Firefighter Droid and Stealth Ops Clone Trooper are the only single-carded figures that clear $40, each on one un-pooled, un-reissued release. Vehicles answer to the specific release, not the card: the Separatist Droid Gunship tops every other vehicle in the line by at least $200, a gap the sold data can’t explain, and a Walmart-badged Republic Gunship trades for multiples of a Walmart-badged 501st single figure despite sharing the same retailer’s name on the box. The exclusive sticker means nothing until you check what it’s stuck to.
