Star Wars Vintage PALITOY Commercial - Speeder Bike

[futurebatman505]

THE GAYEST TOY I EVER PLAYED WITH FROM TY CECIL

[THESKULL1979]

my mum was gutted when she realised the table and chairs didnt come with it.

[kys5]

Ha, I actually still have mine. I've had it on top of my desk for years

[Matiasek]

Oh my god, I had this toy... I wonder, where it is now...

[MrMarkzilla]

I remember watching this advert back in 1983 and wondering how the children are managing to fly so fast through the legs of the dining room table without hitting the top of the table or chairs.

[kepasmn]

Hahaha I still own 2 of them, they`re actually awesome :D

[jkuy12345]

wow there so lazy that they filmed this commercial in some kids house they could have done it some were els like in the back yard

[yakjedi]

Even tho passing the speeder bike hand to hand thro my folks dining room table and chair legs didn't seem quite as exciting as it did in the ad for the obvious (physically impossible) reasons, I still loved it.

Still probably my favourite Star Wars toy ever, and this ad had a lot to do with it.

At £2.99 from Asda Kirkton (Dundee's first supermarket) that was reasonable for a Star Wars toy in 1983 - despite that being probably over a tenner in todays money.

[ShowMe160]

I have one with endor princess leia

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

I loved this toy.

[customclonehelmets]

I used to have the scout trooper one.

[kascnef82]

great commercial. They should have these ads on the Star wars bluray!!!

[thatlegorandomguy]

@kascnef82 that bwould be an awesome extra. just hope lucas doesn't make the toys CGI! lol

[superphil92]

Wow press the fucking button and the toy breaks. Amazing.

[Snuffomatica]

When I first saw this advert when it came out I RAN down to the shops to get one of these bikes....:D

[GodofFrankie]

Those motherfuckers were flyin.

[cw9r]

i like how his arms r going right through thu chairs round and round. endor table

[RobloxLegomania]

"Jimmy! You and Tommy get the hell out from under the table!"

"Mom, were on ENDOR!"

[TheOrange455]

not getting interested in this toys i have now :P xD

[gingerdots]

Aw geez. That bring back a lot of memories. I used to have a ton of those little speed bikes and my brother and I always tried to make Han Solo ride them, but his leges didn't work for it =D. One thing that I loved back then was how cheap the toys were. Nowadays your looking at nearly $10 for 1 action figure. I mean come on! >8(

[IronHyena]

Only you can decide!

[TehbestWaffleguy]

HAHAH! omg I had the scout trooper one!

[sneakymunky]

I had one of those speeders when I was a kid. I remember that after a few weeks one of the plastic clips that held the front together broke and fucked it all up. I think my dog chewed it to pieces after that

[kungfudude]

How many times did they show that clip of the toy speeders side-bashing?! l ol!

[Openfiresos]

Got it!!

[61Bertie]

Set was built on a revolving platform that had not table top or seats just legs and a kid was lying on a plank of wood above it as two burly men spun the floor round creating the 'wonderful' special effect of weaving through chair legs. I was the kid at the end of the ad with the bad trousers on but my young colleague was the chap who got to do the 'stunts'!

[kungfudude]

After watching, I actually believe most of that

[beatsanctuary]

@61Bertie

Awsome :)

[jeremyschultz1]

I had a couple of these, then the latch for the "exploding" broke on one and we had to put a screw in it :)

[11korbinis]

i dont like it

[MrJambalaa]

hey 12 BACK he said "i do not like it" and do you remove that comment :)

[drumplaya99]

it seems they can only turn left. hmmm (figures, made in china.)

[fedsre]

the movies were great, the toys were effin harrible! They're batter noe, clones look like badass clones, stormies look like stormies

[Rodimus1138]

It was the 80s its not like kenner had the engineering back then so shut yer mouth and respect!

[iEditor]

amazing how those kid's arms where going right thru the chairs - haha!

[kierans1970]

I remember that add so clear when it was on tv, doesn,t seem like 25 yrs ago

[xXSgtWolfXx]

Awesome. These commercials are so nostalgic. Makes me want to collect vintage Star Wars toys again. I sold most of my collection when I wasn't into it any more. :(

[JBSchmoov]

Classic. Being a kid in the 80's >>>>>>> being a kid in any other decade.

[CloneNYTroopers]

sweet

[killik2099]

That kids arms are defying the laws of physics.

[xatyt]

Yeah really, how are they going through the tables!

[legoscouttrooper]

i dont know but its cool!

[PETETHEMEAT42]

lol toy commercials always look way better than what it's actually like to play with them

[julencin2000]

Thanks for uploading, I dreamed with those toys as a child!

[turrb]

FUCK YEAH, i has two of these as a kid. :DD

[srb1369]

Damn, that speeder bike exploded for no reason. Those things were worse than Ford Pintos.

[Koulrophobia]

Those were my fav. as a kid!! Childhood memories are great!! :)

[BrickMovies27]

I have that its awesome I like it how when you press that backpack it explodes.

[hedrought]

Return of the Jediiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

These look fun to play with XD

[centpushups]

those arms most be fake

bonne video

[S3InF3LD]

how does the kid go through the table legs?

[EvilKorbinDallas]

how does the kid get under the chairs so fast!

[captain0ldy0da]

No! That almost looks like a Kenner commercial, with the end bit and the toys..But Kenner is much better! Are Kenner still in buisness? They're not are they?

[caseyjoe503]

they closed in 2000 =(

[legoscouttrooper]

oh no >:(

[DasGreenCow]

I bought one of those with Luke about 8-9 years ago. Still have the bike, lost Luke.

[kukensvrede]

LOL WTF? was that weskers (resident evil) voice?

[CullenBond22]

lmao! It is!

[fuddumpton]

i remember watching that advert, must of been around 1984!...I later collected most of the kenner star wars toys and almost all the figures...which I later shot to pieces with an air rifle!!! how gutted am I!?

[linearskater]

The English Palitoy ads are so much more dramatic and "film" like than the u.s. Kenner ads for the same toys.

[gloom2]

apparently kids in europe can take off their arms to play with speeder bikes

[HBPotlood]

How did those kids get their arms to move between the tables and chairs like that? Oh wait, it's the same shot three times in a row!

[historybuff128]

yea your right

[Chromebaby]

Yeah! I remember thinking that when I saw the ads on telly! I would frown and go, 'Mmmm...'

[shearn060]

Better than any crap toys you buy your kids today, see if pokemon is still here in 30 years time.
