[QUOTE="Twin30mm, post: 493443, member: 5949"] Love these nostalgia threads. One of my earliest memories is going to the local mini-market and seeing the Waddingtons SW puzzles on the shelf. That and collecting the Topps cards (I can still smell that sickly bubblegum). Buying Star Wars Weekly comic was also a big early memory. I can still remember the excitement of seeing the TV ad for it. Pretty sure the first time I saw footage from the film was a clip on Michael Rodd's Screen Test. Strangely, I have no vivid memories of seeing SW at the cinema. It must have been in the Feb/March '78. Just remember the feeling of being totally awestruck (which has lasted into my very late forties :D ). Luckily, the poster and program which was bought for me at the screening have survived. Keep meaning to restore the poster as it's literally falling apart. I must have picked up the Palitoy catalogue at roughly the same time. [/QUOTE]
