I was in 5th grade back then. I had the early bird thing. It was actually a big cardboard display. it had spots for all of the 12 original figures available. It cost $11 I think, maybe less. Yeah the figures were $1.50 back then. I also had the original bobafet that was only available by turning in several proof of purchase from Kenner (SP) figures. I had the one that actually shott the little rocket out and was discontinued because of a choking hazard.

That's awesome. Makes you wish you had a time machine to go back then and buy some of those us knowing now how much they'd be worth.

You look alot like this dude Gamester81...

Anyway, I can tell this is gonna be an awesome channel.  I learned a ton just from this vid.

I like how they wrote out "See-Threepio" as if people wouldn't know how to pronounce C-3PO.

Are you willing to sell anything you have vintage? I'm willing to pay

@moparmonster1965 also r5d4 is referred to as a r2 unit in the film... i think it was a mistake on the card

@TheSuperBossk I would say "miss remembering" rather than lying. Never meant to deceive anyone. I did get the mail away one, but it may have come with some sort of disclaimer or notice. I know it was a big deal at the time that it hadn't come with firing rocket. I was informed then, I think it was even on the news or the newspaper or something. No inet back then. I was literally a little kid and have had many toys over the years. Anyway, thanks for pointing this out. I am no braggart or liar.

@hawkez2003 rocket firing boba fett was NEVER released your lying?

@jodeezy619 If I were to go back to 1978, I'd buy as many Hemi and 440+6 cars I could. Those are now worth infinitely more than Star Wars figures.

[moparmonster1965]

The card says that the Sandpeople came with a 'gaderffii stick' but I'm pretty sure that in the first movie, where Luke and Ben are discussing the staged Sandpeople attack on the Jawas, they were referred to as 'gaff sticks."

If I had a time machine, the first thing ! would do is go all the way back to 1978 and buy tons of star wars figures! If I'm lucky, I might run into a few vinyl cape jawas and mabye find Luke and Darth Vader with double telescoping lightsabers
