    The brochures were included with most boxed vehicles and playsets.

      Vote for Fett and Bossk as second. Also did the Stormtrooper Han and Ben back in the 90's. Was not the same as the Fett experience. But cool figure to have.

        I wasn't old enough for the Fett and Bossk, but Hantrooper and Spirit Ben were my first Star Wars mailaways, and were quite fun.

        Loving the responses so far! Keep 'em coming!

        Another fun one was Mummy Mumm-Ra.

          ^^At least you had the quasi experience of the initial SW mail away. They did try and emulate the feel with the money and PoPs send away and having been through both, the second coming seemed it was aimed more for the collectors demographic rather than the true casual to ardent fan. For the initial it helped for me to have the Kenner commercials on Saturday mornings. But agreed, over all it was fun. The Protofett was too easy. Just went on ebay and bought the paper PoPs. Mailed away and forgot about them until they showed up. Same for the Retro Vintage Rocket Fett. I'm sure other folks had a more reminiscent experience with their kids.

                The Han storm trooper was a great mail away...as I believe he was the first potf2 figure that wasn't offered in the original Kenner line. The obi wan was also pretty cool, but the real challenge is to find the retail boxed version...I believe he was a UK exclusive. Not a hundred percent on his story, but it's a pretty cool alternate version to what we got in the states. I got one in a box somewhere, if I can find him, I'll throw up some pics...another of my faves was the Congo ape mail away....he had some glow in the dark elements, which I am an absolute sucker for....

                  Retail box version? What would be cool to see.
                  I've only seen carded customs and the 3 spirit box set.

                    Yep, that bottom one is the one I got... Like I said, I might be mistaken about it being "retail"...I'm not 100% how it was offered, but I am sure it wasn't from the US

                      ^UK mail away variation. It too was a mail order exclusive. For a second I thought there was another version.

                          Night Fighter Robocop was sweet too. I am also a huge mark for Glow in the Dark toys.

                              I really want Anakin in mailer. I'd even trade my Trash Compacter Monster for it.

                                I sent away for all of the Star Wars ones when I was a kid..except the bossk and the early bird set. Another favorite was the first display stand, I'd love to get a mint unused mailer boxed one
