My father left me a Bang Olufsen boxed soldier and I was wondering how much it was worth. My children want to play with it but I'm hesitant as my father always kept it boxed.

£74 new.

'Utility' also stock them in the UK.
New or antique, I agree with Mika.... not really for the children!

Does it say "Bang & Olufsen" on it ?

Here's one just listed on eBay with a B&O box. 6 days to go, it has already hit £60 with 14 bids!

Apologies for the long web address but I'm currently on a link unfriendly iPad.
Graham,
I wondered if that was the one in question actually!

Well, if it was, we have managed to give the seller all the Beoworld publicity he might have wished for!

Absolutely, and I can only see the price rising further still to be honest!
4 days to go, now £77.
As you can buy new for £74 (without B&O box) every bid from now on, less £74, is actually for a B&O box!

Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.

That looks around £60 in Denmark Søren. Royaldesign.co.uk has a Swedish address. Probably extra warehousing and transport if buying outside Denmark and/or Swedish company taking a cut. Anyway, that box is now £24+ based on your Danish price!
Final price £79.
Do we conclude that the B&O box does not actually carry a large premium? Or did the final bidder get a real bargain?

I really wouldn't conclude anything based on a single Ebay listing.It's not a very common item, let alone in original box and I've seen empty boxes from other B&O things fetch lotsmore than the ending bid of this one.
Thought it would go up more than that to be honest!
I guess the box is nice for collectors. You'd probably have to look at a few other auctions I guess to get a true picture!
