I knew that when I got it. It didn't say Star Wars anywhere on it, but it was cool!
I thought it was better than the official ones.
Even though it was really nothing more than a fancy flashlight with a long plastic tube on it.

I thought the blinking light technology on the Zeroid robot was incredibly advanced for the time. I still have mine, and it still blinks! Wish I still had my Knight of Darkness. If I were doing a Star Wars spinoff movie, I'd have some Zeroids or some Star Raiders in it as background characters.

I've seen a similar trade ad from DC/National and LCA warning folks not to rip off Batman during the 1966 Batmania craze. It also lists all the current licensors.
