    Old Palitoy factory film footage - making Star Wars toys

    I found this on rebelscum and thought it was really cool. Actual footage of what is apparently Palitoy factory workers assembling, boxing and carding vintage Star Wars toys.

      That was really cool.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          My heart skipped a beat.
          If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                Seeing them being carded at 0:25 was kind of eye-opening. I had no idea that's how it was done. I'd always assumed it was 100% automated.

                  I expected to see Hong Kong factory workers.

                    that WAS 100% automated for late 70's early 80's.
