Auction FAQs | Star Wars & Retro Toy Collectibles

 

Throughout 2026, C&T Auctioneers & Valuers will be commencing a new weekend live auction for Retro Toy Collectibles. It's not long until the first auction takes place this weekend, so we've gathered together a few FAQs below.

For any remaining questions, email enquiries@candtauctions.co.uk

 

When is the auction? 

C&T's Star Wars & Retro Toy Collectibles auction takes place live on Sunday, 1st February 2026. The auction will commence at 14:00 GMT, with a predicted rate of 80 lots per hour. 

This is the first in a series of Sunday live auctions taking place throughout 2026. By running live auctions on a Sunday, more people than ever will be able to participate and bid live in the auction. 

 

What's in the auction? 

C&T's 1st February auction includes an unmissable range of vintage Star Wars figures and collectibles from the 1970s onwards. Alongside the Star Wars items, C&T is also offering an exceptional selection of Thundercats figures, including some very scare items. Other lots include household names such as Lego, Britains, Gerry Anderson, GI Joe, Sylvanian Families and much more.

How do I bid in the live auction?

To bid in C&T's live auctions, simply register on the C&T website. You will need a C&T account, once logged in, head to the auction catalogue. Alternatively, you can register on the Saleroom, or on Easy Live Auction, but please note that these external platforms do levy their own additional fees. 

As soon as you're registered you will be able to place pre-bids. Then, at 14:00 GMT on 1st February, you will be able to bid live as the lots go under the hammer. 

All of C&T's live auctions take place in an online-only format, with no room bidding available. This allows bidders across the world to participate from the comfort of their own homes.

 

When are lot viewings? 

Lot viewings are available by appointment. All interested bidders are encouraged to view lots in advance of the auction - just email our team here with the lot number(s) and date(s) you're available.
