    The Empire is still striking back




    Not many movies can still keep selling toys two years after their debut but I guess that's why Star Wars was such a phenom. The kenner toys were kind of in a state arrested development by this point, next year would see Jedi and tons of new toys but at 13, I found much of it too "muppety"*. Star Wars figures piqued at Zuckuss, Bossk and IG88 for me. It's all about the bounty hunters baby...

    Are those Candian prices, Brian? $54 seems a bit high for an AT-At, even with 1982 Stagflation...

      Yep! This is from Consumers Distributing, I have no concept of the exchange rate at the time but Inflation was bad back then.

          I think '82 is when I started to lose interest in Star Wars. Didn't get as much stuff then.

              That second one looks like the one I had. Got it around the time Star Trek II came out. Would pretend I was shooting Khan and his flunkies with it.

                Yeah, '82 was about the height of SW for me, too. For Xmas '81 I got Slave I and the Falcon, so that spring endless bounty hunter escapades ensued in my backyard! When Jedi came out in '83 I still collected the figures, but I didn't really play with them from sunup to sundown like I did in those heady, hearty days of ESB.

                    WOW! Sans the guns I have everything on the page! 82'-84' were great years for toys for me!

                    I loved the Micro collection peices! They were my favorites! Plus when the bulid-a-model sets came out I got a couple of AT-AT's and AT-ST's and had me some rebel crushing fun!
