Dark Lord of the Atari

[RSS]

Hopping the pond to the UK for this Mall Appearance which happened in the early 1980s when Darth Vader himself dropped in on a "Toymaster" (great name) shop to promote the Empire Strikes Back Video cartridges that I spent the majority of 1981 playing.

Send me your mall appearance photos!

Vader is tall, and he's in England. Could that be Prowse?

I like the drawing on the right.
