1978 Kenner Star Wars Launch

[VintageMike]

Great stuff! I actually got my first SW figure during a re-release of the movie in 1978. They were selling the first figures at the theater and I still have that figure (an R2-D2). Kenner SW was THE toy for most of my childhood. I will get one of the 12 back display header sone day!

Ahhh Star Wars. My first true love. Those planograms are the stuff of dreams!

re: The Fett, They didn't actually send out a letter saying there was going to be a delay, you are probably remembering the "Note to Consumers" included in the mail-away box explaining that the rocket was no longer a firing feature.

Check out the pics here

As I'm sure you guys all know the planned feature was ditched after a child choked on a Mattel Battlestar Gallactica missile.

Good to see The Plaid heading down this path
