But after the vast two-storey toy shop was eventually sold in 1995, the display was later snapped up by a private collector.
It will go under the hammer on Thursday (28) at Vectis Toy Auctions, with a pre-sale estimate of £5,000 - £10,000.
Nick Dykes, TV & Film Specialist for Vectis Auctions said: “This is unique opportunity to acquire something of not only Star Wars history but what is also social history.
“These large toy displays are fondly remembered by so many children, bringing back so many memories.
“The local connection to the auction house is the cherry on the top really of a superb story”.
