To me, the ESB toys were when Kenner really hit their stride with Star Wars Toys. I keep a Han/Tauntaun on my desk and drove from OKC to Vegas a few years back with it riding on the dashboard.
"I don't care if the weather's wanton, long as I got my plastic Tauntaun riding on the dashboard of my truck."
I had the Imperial Cruiser and could swear it was called a Troop Transporter. Had a button on top when pressed had sounds from the movie. I remember one clear as day a stormtrooper would say "Theres one set for stun". It was awesome. Sadly I can not check for sure because mine along with its box, and everything else on that ad with boxes, I gave to my brother. All I have is the figures. Oh well, I got his Megos.

Yeah, it was called the Imperial Troop Transporter originally... But for that Sears exclusive version it had the talking feature removed and was renamed the "Imperial Cruiser" with slightly revised deco.
I knew I liked you and this cements it. lol I'll never be able to watch 'Cool Hand Luke" quite the same again.
One of my favorite movies, ever!!! That little riff came to me somewhere between Amarillo and Tucumcari. That was a great road trip that essentially paralleled old Route 66. Lots of scenery, Dr. Pepper, Beef Jerky, Jazz, and Prog Rock. And I'm glad my Tauntaun was with me!

Thanks Bruce! I think its one of the coolest SW toys ever.
Every time Cool Hand Luke is mentioned, I always think of Strother Martin on Saturday Night Live, at the languages school, saying,"What we have here is a failure to communicate in a foreign language."
