[QUOTE="SublevelStudios, post: 502475, member: 5051"] I met him at the Normid Hypermarket (CO OP) in Talke Pits near Stoke-on-Trent back in 1983 just after Jedi had been released. It was a massive supermarket where we did our weekly shop. I was taken along with a friend to see him and given some pocket money to buy a figure. The new Jedi figures were literally just hitting the shelves and I recally loacs of kids gathered around a shelf stacker who'd just opened up a new box - little hands grabbing at whatever thay could. There was a massive crowd of kids as we queued for his autograph. The one thing that struck me was how bad this guy in the suit stunk, really sweaty, but given it was the height of summer it's no surprise. Afterwards we went back to the figures and I chose a Lando Skiff Guard, mainly because he had a separate helmet and that was a brand new feature for the figures. [/QUOTE]
